In [[Westeros]] and most of the lands west of [[Valyria]], magic is held to be a mythical force only. The [[maesters]] of the [[Citadel]] may apply for a [[Valyrian steel]] link for the study of magic, but they believe it to have faded away following the [[Doom of Valyria]], since there has been no record of its use in Westeros since that time.
Magic has remained a potent force in [[Qarth]], where the enigmatic [[warlocks]] of the [[House of the Undying]], are said to possess great powers. The lands by the [[Jade Sea]] and [[Asshai]] by the [[Shadow Lands|Shadow]], where all manner of sorcerers, necromancers, spellsingers, aeromancers, and more are said to gather and practice their arts.{{ref|AGOT|23}}

Elemental control: The priests of R'hllor seem able to control the element of fire, being able to evoke fire with their bare hands in order to engulf their weapons in flames, to use the fire alone as a means to attack enemies, or just to amaze crowds.[2] It is possible that other wizards and sorcerers know ways of using other elements.
Water magic: Wizards of the Rhoynar were able to manipulate water, such as the Rhoyne.[4]
