Magia and the world, Day 1

Are the laws of nature and physics actually different in this world (to accommodate magic) or are they the same as in real life? If the same, how does magic fit in? How do magical beasts fit in?

The laws of nature and physics can be bent (and sometimes broken) when under the influence of some magia. For instance, moving objects can be brought to a complete stop with no damage to what is around it (due to the kinetic energy being reduced to nothing), or redirected towards another place entirely. One spell can even reverse the pull of gravity on a target.

As for the laws of nature, most of the time the denizens of Sekiya let nature run its course, but there are some plants that only grow when affected by magia, and sometimes, creating a pool of water by a water spell can be a lifesaver during a drought.

Magical beasts rub shoulders with Earth creatures, but the carnivores (i.e. dragons, for example) mainly eat other magical creatures (Griffons and rocs are a particular favorite of dragons in the wild, but tame ones usually learn to eat beef and chicken)
