Magic-Users can cast using the following media:
Earth
Wand
Staff
Other (Dirt, etc.)
Sound
Speech (Djinn language.)
Music (Singing, instruments, etc.)
Other (Grunts and noises.)
Body
Movement
Position (Meditation, anything like that.)
Other (Not really sure about this one.)
The more media you use, the easier it will be to cast, like training wheels.
The less you need, the harder it will be to stop you.
Basically, you have to divide up your Magic Skill stat among these media. If you have a M.Skill of 50, you might put 10 into Wand, 25 into Movement, and 15 into Speech. If someone takes your wand, you essentially can't use that 10 that's in Wand, and your effective M.Skill drops by 10.
Your Magic Power will drop as well.
If that 10 M.Skill that you lost is 20% of your total M.Skill, you'll lose 20% of your power as well, for example dropping from 75 to 60.
The upside to using more media is the fact that it's easier to learn and cast spells in the first place. For example, if it normally takes 1 week to learn a spell...
tl;dr version: You learn spells faster if you use more media, but if someone disables your media you're fucked, and more media means it's more likely they'll be able to disable one.
