There are many, many theories as to how magic came to be. Most of which are unaccepted by modern historians. These are usually developed by those who say their lineage is that of the first wizards. However historians have narrowed down the creation of magic to three possible theories. These three theories are as follows:

• The Theory of Uno Mas 
• The Migration Theory
• The Theory of Hocus Pocus

The Theory of Uno Mas

The most popular theory for a long time, this theory states that all magic began from one person, the first wizard, Uno Mas. Uno Mas (although not his real name) is his given name. It is Ancient Aramaic for The First Magi. It also shares some Spanish meaning however this is it's latent meaning not manifest meaning. The theory was officially presented by William Marangue in his book "The Theory of Uno Mas". He states that Uno lived in the time of reptiles and before cavemen. He is believed to be the father of all wizards and witches. Marangue is said to be the author of this theory since he was the first to publish it in his book.

The theory also states that Uno created the first wand as well making him the literal father of magic.

The Migration theory is a little more complex. Believing magical and muggle kind lived side by side for years of migration, it is thought that wizards and witches didn't know they had magic. Then when the Descent of Blizz hit, the magical kind left the muggles and created their own group of settlers. These settlers founded many of the wizarding cities we know today.

Following tracks of unknown people in 1535 the explorer and famous wizard historian Ho Mao Tseng found that the trails lead into non-existence, believing this showed that these were the tracks of wizard-kind who most likely died in an avalanche.

However in the 1800's (1803 and 1832) a group of Gringotts Curse Breakers unearthed spells, jewelry, clothing, tools, and relics of a group of early magical people who migrated west towards France during the Descent of Blizz. This theory claims to be the first theory to state there is a Natural Progression of magic.This was borrowed however from the least popular theory (Hocus Pocus).

The idea that magic came out of thin air, naturally, and did not essentially come from a "FIRST WIZARD". This theory focuses more on the first known uses of magic as opposed to who first used magic. The story suggest that women were able to use magic as a form of persuasion and that from this came a "Natural Progression of magical tendencies" 

((Natural Progression defined as "Nature's tendency to force habits upon men who react differently than wizards."))

This idea was used in The Migration Theory as well. The evidence supporting the Theory of Hocus Pocus is stored at the Brussels Museum of Ancient Magical History and is kept by Professor Hugo Bjorken the Sr. Curator and Magical Anthropologist. This is the Birch Bark Manuscript which contains writings that support this theory.

These theories attempt to explain why we are the way we are and where we came from. Each has its proponents and opponents such as Dr. Josiah Loppet who strongly disagrees with the ideas of Uno Mas and wrote a book "The Anti-Uno Mas Theory" about it. "Those who support the claims of Uno Mas agree that we lived among the dinosaurs which just isn't true. Besides that the claim we are all, very closely then, related should worry even the most liberal of conservatives" (Loppet, 124). Whereas the Theory of Uno Mas is most widely accepted among individuals, scholars tend to believe that the Hocus Pocus theory is more suited in reality. 

Dr. Loppet was a strong proponent of the Hocus Pocus and Great Migration theories. He has worked with Professor Bjorken to retrieve the Manuscripts from the Alps. There was much debate between Professor Bjorken and Madam Lilth Greenswald of the Museum of Alps History over who would get the Manuscripts. In the end Professor Bjorken won them. While Ho Mao Tseng is the known father of The Migration Theory, people believe he would have sided with Dr.'s Loppet and Bjorken of today.
