He introduced magic in the form of chants, to summon the powers of the deities with [[tome]]s and [[staves]].<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Gotoh convinced humans to borrow the deities’ powers and warned them at the same time.

Spell books and staves can be thought of as vessels that store this energy. To release this energy requires a certain amount of skill, such as by chanting keywords or through mental control techniques.

Naga once saved humanity on the continent of [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]] from [[Earth Dragon]]s who had gone mad and attacked people. When one Earth Dragon slipped away to wreak havoc on the [[Jugdral]] continent, Naga made a blood bond with the crusader [[Heim]] at the [[Miracle of Dahna]] help save the people there from despair as well. Naga is worshipped as a deity in both Archanea and Jugdral, but isn't viewed the same in both cultures. Naga is called the "Guardian God" in Archanea's Raman bible; Naga was said to have appeared as a giant male warrior with a sword and shield<ref>{{cite|The warrior carried a gleaming blade of light in his right hand, and in his left hand, a shield embedded with five orbs. Then, after a fierce battle, he eradicated the monsters and returned to the heavens.
