Limitations

 * Always make sure you know what the price is, it will come back to haunt you.
 * It will be paid, one way or another.
 * The price can range from something as insignificant as the magical energy required to activate your magic, a part of your sanity, or even something devastating, like your own life, or worse.
 * Stronger Magics will overcome weaker ones.
 * People not born with the power to use magic not to gain it- not without making a Faustian Bargain or two.
 * Magic Immunity will foil your plans.
 * Magic Negation is even bigger problem.
 * Magic often drains a person's stamina or mana.
 * Naturally, stronger magic puts a much greater strain.
 * Magic is unpredictable, if one gets too creative or is interrupted in a crucial moment. Results range from amusing to annoying, but mendable, to destructive to lethal, to Catastrophic to Apocalyptic.
 * Without the knowledge or proper skill, the intended use of a spell can create unpredictable or potentially dangerous results.
 * Society with knowledge about magic is likely to have rules/laws about its use, and areas of magic that are forbidden.
 * In some societies, magic may be limited to a specific class or status.
 * Users are unable to use spells that are beyond their imagination.
 * Using magic takes concentration and focus.
 * May react disastrously with Science Manipulation.
 * May disrupt/cancel out technology.
 * May need to perform certain actions/fulfill conditions to use magic, ranging from specific words/songs, certain hand/body moves, materials that may be consumed or even extensive rituals.
