Magic in my world was a little bit different. First, you need a focus, something to channel your magic into. Most do it through a weapon or a staff.
[ Not everybody, of course, but it's what he's most comfortable with, and what he's seen most. Riku lifts his Keyblade, still in its sheath, as an example. ]
Your magic comes from inside of you. In order to use it, you need to tap into your memories.
[ He frowns slightly, trying to figure out how to explain it better. It's tough, to put an experience into words. ]
If I want to cast an ice spell, I remember what it felt like on top of the mountain, how the wind carries snow on it and cuts right through you. Or jumping into the ocean in the middle of winter, when the water's so cold it turns your lips blue, or holding ice in your hands until your fingers go numb.
It's kind of like using your shard. You use those memories and picture it becoming real, and use the magic inside of you to make it happen.
[ Riku unsheathes the Keyblade carefully, holding it so that it points out and away into the air. He only wants a small Blizzard spell, just enough to give Merida an example as to what he means. ]
Freeze.
[ A small burst of ice magic fires off into the night, a sizable chunk of bright ice that glows with a deeper blue surrounding it. Riku watches it until it's out of sight, making sure it doesn't affect their flight or anything else, then sheathes his blade again before looking back to Merida. ]
You don't have to say the spell, but it helps focus your magic where you want it to go.
