# Magic System

Magic in this world is powered by willpower and channeled through spoken incantations.
Novice practitioners can only manage simple cantrips, while masters can reshape reality itself.

The key parts:

• tags: [lorebook] — marks this note for DeepLore to index
• keys: [magic, spellcasting] — keywords that trigger this entry
• summary — helps AI search decide when to select this entry

Step 3: Enable and Index

1. Check Enable DeepLore Enhanced in settings
2. Click Refresh (or type /dle-refresh in chat)
3. You should see "1 entries" in the header badge

Step 4: Verify It Works

1. Start or continue a chat
2. Send a message mentioning "magic" or "spellcasting"
3. Type /dle-inspect in chat — you should see your entry in the pipeline trace
4. Click the book icon on the AI message to see which entries were injected (Context Cartographer)
