>>How do you shake the ground like that and cause damage etc without magic?

Inner Magic is a poorly understood topic, since only two guilds exist in civilization that practices it, one that believes the scientific method is an Elothean sword maneuver and the other that literally kills scholars dead for trying to investigate their secrets.

What little is known is that there is an anti-magic power source, ostensibly called the Inner Flame, that can affect limited subversion of reality. It's not magical in the technical sense (it does not involve the manipulation of mana, its practitioners do not undergo Attunement, etc.), but it's certainly "magical" in the sense that it does something that the uninitiated consider impossible in their understanding of the world.

Creating the subversion seems to require either a strong emotional prompt or an altered state of consciousness. Some scholars have pointed out that this is frighteningly similar to what happens to a magician who is casting a sorcery, but no distinct relationship has been formed.
