= Fundamental World =

  • Alternate Names: Nowhere, The Void, Zero

  • Essence Category: None/Fray

  • Physical Makeup: Unravelled Fabric

  • Energy Makeup: Entropy

  • Process: None (Empty), C̴͉̼̼̰͋̌̏̈́́́̎͂̅ơ̸̯̣̣͗̄̊̒̕r̸̞̜̥̱͉̻͚̽̏̉̋͜͠r̸̺̭̋̀̾̽͗̅̂̇̚ǔ̴̧͖̭͈̝̖̟̪̏͛̋̐̃́̅̾́́̓̕͠p̵̻̤̯̼̗͓͖͎̜̦̰͐͗͋̀ţ̵̬͓̞̲̭̯͚̰͉̣̝͊̄͝í̷̢̓̒̏̔̍̚o̸̢̧͎̠͔̥̩͕̱̲͕̼͓̍͛̽̔̈́̑̓̔͆͑͜ͅn̸̨̮̪̗̬͉̠̝͎͈̟̮̣͝ (Chaos fragments)

  • Other: Functions as a lack of essence from other categories. Can be construed as the void, but may or may not contain chaos. Functions as the empty space inside the universe.

Skyla

  • …

  • There’s nothing here.

Jared

  • Hello? Why do I feel emptiness but feeling something is still watching? It’s weird. Wait....

Saturn

  • Before entering: I will turn this world Ziya created into the fundamental world. All will be equal in a world without magic. All will have equal magic or no one will. . . muhahaha!

  • After entering: It’s beautiful! This is my true home.

Tobias

  • This world is wrong. It hurts just to think of it. I feel like it wants to consume me.

Minerva

  • If the world is an infinite ball, then the Void is a box of a higher grade of infinity. It seems empty because it is.

= World of Breath =

  • Alternate Names: Atmos, Atmosphere

  • Essence Expression: Atmosphere

  • Physical Makeup: Gaseous forms, Elementals

  • Spiritual Makeup: Raw Essence, Knowledge

  • Process: Growth

  • Planet: Ignis

Infernus

  • A world so dense with the makeup of the universe that you'll drown from sheer awesome!

Karee

  • Everything needs to breathe. Even the planet.

Terra

  • Breath given life is fire. Breath given form is balance. Breath given spirit is a soul.

Rana

  • Who the FUCK would want to be here?! I mean it’s Awesome, but come on!

Tenebrous

  • That’s my kinda world. When can I move in?

Trinity

  • I don’t need to breathe, so why are we still talking about this? Can I go flying with the big dragon guy? Is he friendly?

Channel: Air

Queen of the Bellis

  • Air brings people life. It is freedom. It is pure. Air is everywhere. To live and be free in the air is all we truly need.

Angels (Bellis)

  • We can fly. We have wings. This is awesome. We just want to be free!

Melody

  • Air is the most useless power someone can have. Plain and simple. Unless you can fly, air is boring.

Tenebrous

  • Air is dangerous. When air combines with fire it becomes more powerful and more chaotic.

Tobias

  • Air is confusing. I feel it has meaning, but it eludes me. I just can’t escape it.

Ester

  • Air is a sacrifice freely made. Air is freedom. Air is courage. Everyone can feel air and when air is absent is when panic sets in. We need air to survive.

= World of Spirit =

  • Alternate Names: Spark, Soul

  • Essence Expression: Communication, Electricity

  • Physical Makeup: Ætheric

  • Spiritual Makeup: Souls

  • Process: Physical Enhancement

  • Planet: Sonus

Council of Fifty

  • Spirit is... memory. The ability to change what something is by convincing it of what it is not.

Karee

  • Spirits are everywhere. Sometimes they're in things, sometimes they float around, and sometimes they are you.

Hermes

  • There are two things we call souls. One embodies a concept, as a purity of form. The other embodies a living being, as purity of life. In this process of growth, death, and rebirth, we have the one thing holding us together: Spirits.

Ester

  • The spark of life is beautiful. To feel the pain of loss is beautiful. Spark is what makes us whole, but it is also what breaks us. Electricity specifically has a range of power from a jolt, to an idea that makes us stand still, to a storm that we cannot reach or overcome. This is power.

Channel: Electricity

Rana

  • The most powerful and the most tortured people use electricity. Those who wield electricity are worse than murderers and thieves. These are the people who would kill their best friend just for the power. Anyone who wields this electricity deserves to be wiped from the face of the planet.

Melody

  • (Raises her middle finger, turns away, and scoffs)

RanaMae

  • Electricity is an essential power. It may bring us pain, but pain is what we need to grow moving forward.

Tobias

  • Electricity is a power out of my reach. It’s destruction is nearly on par with fire, and though I am told it comes from a source of pain and conflict, it is not the same as the anger of fire. I feel it is a part of me that is missing, for it is the feeling I experience the most.

Tyler

  • Electricity is something to be feared and avoided. A spark can give life and it can take it. Be wary of those who wield electricity. Be more than wary, be afraid.

Tenebrous

  • To fight against electricity is thrilling! This power is amazing! I might actually lose!

= World of Form =

  • Alternate Name: World of Ideals

  • Essence Expression: Physical/Chemical Elements

  • Physical Makeup: Periodic Table of Elements

  • Spiritual Makeup: Mental Body

  • Process: Alchemy

  • Planet: Nidus

Hermes

  • An idealized form, an expression of purity, and the grand experiment for how everything interacts with these ideals. The library holds everything we know about the universe and how it changes.

Karee

  • I've never seen a world with an ocean of acid rain next to a cloud of dirt. Who even does that?

Trinity

  • Doesn't all magic use form? To create, we all must dream, and then in dreaming we turn the form we dreamed of into reality using magic.

= World of Life =

  • Essence Expression: Plants, Animals

  • Physical Makeup: Plants, Animals

  • Spiritual Makeup: :)

  • Process: Evolution

  • Planet: Silva, the Forest

Terra

  • Behold the world tree, the pillar of life everywhere!

Infernus

  • Life can be found in everything. Even the smallest ember has the breath of life infused down to its very core.

Council of Fifty

  • Life is what we are and what we know. Without life, there is nothing.

Hermes

  • Life is the curious state between the separation of matter and consciousness. It's at this place where the magic happens.

Karee

  • Isn't life kind of an oxymoron? Obviously we're alive, otherwise we wouldn't be here!

Jared

  • Urge to uplift growing!

Sheral

  • To live is to be eaten. Life consumes, and life seldom shares. It’s a cycle we cannot break. For some all we can do is feed, and those that only feed are the most dangerous of all.

= World of Flow =

  • Alternate Names: Elemental Water, Liquid

  • Essence Expression: Water

  • Physical Makeup: Liquids

  • Spiritual Makeup: Movement, Emotions

  • Process: Transfer, Transmutation

Hermes

  • The ebb and flow of the ocean is an analogy for life. Everything moves from one place to another. Consciousness, essence, even planets need to go somewhere. If it has nowhere to go then everything will pool up into one spot, compact in on itself, and implode. We don't want destruction, we want change.

Terra

  • The mighty oceans are the birthplace of life as we know it. Everything is made of the ocean and will eventually return to it.

Jared

  • Sigh I’m gonna need to cast a flash dry spell aren’t I after we leave? And maybe a codex.

Rana

  • (looks at the ocean) Keep that Shit away from me. . . I need a drink.

Channel: Water

Tobias

  • Water is amazing. The sound, the smell, the feel. Water carries so much; salt, life, wisdom. Water is flexible, and it is never pure. You can drown in water, if only you choose not to move. Water cannot hold still unless you force it to. There is nothing more powerful than water.

Trinity

  • So just basic magic? I mean who can’t use water?

Ester

  • To feel water is to feel lost. I mourn for those who mourn, and the water shares that feeling with us.

= World of Crystal =

  • Alternate Names: Gem, Metal

  • Essence Expression: Crystalline Forms

  • Physical Makeup: Crystals, Metals

  • Spiritual Makeup: Stability

  • Process: Crystallization, Fossilization

Hermes

  • Crystals are a structure that can hold a specific frequency. This makes them useful as anchors, materials, and beacons. They are the most stable of all physical matter.

Karee

  • Pretty!

Thruul M'Gon

  • I can make a mighty fine hammer out of this. Never you mind what it was made of before, this will be the strongest thing in the universe

Minerva

  • The magically densest form of physical matter. What is the chemical makeup of it? How cute, you think it’s real in an object with magical density so thick you can quite literally cut it with a really sharp knife.

Jared

  • Solid.

Trinity

  • How much of this can I stuff in a bag and take home?

Sheral

  • (in response to Trinity) Unless you are going to turn it into something useful, Don’t touch anything!

Essence Eaters

  • (hiss [i eat people and turn them into crystals])

Tobias (also other mages)

  • I can put magic into that right???

= World of Aura =

  • Essence Expression: Aura

  • Physical Makeup: Invisible Colors, Temperature, Radiation

  • Spiritual Makeup: Aura

  • Process: Traversal of Possibilities

Terra

  • Everything has an aura.

Infernus

  • If you look at something funny, you can see colors. That's the aura leaking off of it.

mDiyo

  • Aura is the subtle magic that exists around everything. It's an extension of our souls and the fabric of reality itself. If you squint real hard, you can see everything in a new light. Or maybe that’s just my eyes. We can make it real though… just watch.

Channel: Temperature

Tenebrous

  • YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Let’s get this party started!

  • If the place isn’t hot there is something wrong with it.

  • You are broken! (Thinks: If you are using temperature as Ice there is something wrong with you.)

  • (Tenebrous performs a display of prowess involving a large delicate dancing woman.)

  • Fire is so powerful that sometimes my clothes, well. . . I spent a lot of money on new clothes…

Loyd

  • Those who know of true fear feel the chill in a way no one else can fathom.

Ester

  • Temperature is a whirlwind of emotions. Whether someone is closed off in an icy cold, or full of the raging anger of fire, they are not out of my reach. For those who have lost their way, I am the ground. I will never let such a lost soul suffer in this way.

  • To see an aura is to be in balance, so to see temperature, or any magic, without blinding ourselves, we must set that balance within ourselves.

= World of Harmony =

  • Alternate Names: Music, Primal Sound

  • Essence Expression: Sound

  • Physical Makeup: Songs, Vibration

  • Spiritual Makeup: Frequency

  • Process: Songs, Music

  • Planet: Sonus

Council of Fifty

  • ♩♪ ~Can you hear the sound deep inside your soul? Vibration fills your being and makes you feel just whole~ ♫♪

Infernus

  • Ugh, those people really get under my skin. You can hear their singing from across the universe as it permeates everything down to the last fiber of your being.

Serena Avatar to Ziya

  • (Speaking to Rana ethereal incarnation, after Melody) Go my child and be one with the music. Once you have had your fill return to me.

= World of the Veil =

  • Alternate Name: Darkness World of the Void (distinct from The Void)

  • Essence Expression: Dark Energy

  • Physical Makeup: Dark Matter, Gravity

  • Spiritual Makeup: Darkness

  • Process: Separation

  • Other: Deals primarily with the border between things

Minerva

  • I mean, yeah, Veil magic is a little close to the Outside, but if you know what you're doing it isn't any more, or frankly, less dangerous than other pieces of the reality.

  • Just hijack the entire part of existence if you want tentacles! It's that easy.

Karee

  • The border between worlds and everything around us can be changed and shaped to our desires. A nudge here, a prickle there, a huge black hole in the middle of the galaxy that can wreak havoc on the unsuspecting as they get thrown into the void over there…

[World Seeds]

  • The Veil leads to the void. That’s where Chaos resides, or what’s left of him. Nothing good comes from following that path… in fact, nothing comes out of it. Everything goes in and becomes more of what Chaos is now.

Serena Avatar to Ziya

  • This makes no sense to me

Sheral

  • Don’t mess with anything on the edge of existence. There is a danger there that no one can explain.

Channel: Time

Ester

  • To sacrifice yourself to save the person you love is the greatest sacrifice of all. Only those with great conviction can control time. This feeling, this power, it is the only channel that I do not understand.

Time Traveler

  • To play in time is but a trifle, but to play with time, ho ho, that is another matter altogether. One does not simply change time without repercussions.

Kay

  • Time is power. Wherever controls time controls the world, but the thing is no one can control time. Even when time around us is altered it can’t make that much of a difference, because all we change is a narrow perspective of time. Time is like a shell, and when that shell collapses, the rest follows.

Minerva

  • Time is bound to Veil in that it separates every moment from the next. It’s on the border between the Veil and Spacetime; which just makes it extra meta.

= World of Dreams =

  • Alternate Name: The Astral Realm

  • Essence Expression: Subtlety

  • Physical Makeup: None

  • Spiritual Makeup: Dreamscape

  • Process: Imagination

Minerva

  • A familiar place, both for me and some friends. Anything goes in here, though they rarely come out. A little too unstable for the other layers.

Jared

  • So basically what we call in most other realities as the Astral Realm.

Ferria Race

  • What is the difference between a dream and reality? Just because it’s a dream doesn't mean it isn’t real.

= World of Spacetime =

  • Alternate Names: Time, Space

  • Essence Expression: Dimensional Signatures, Frequency

  • Physical Makeup: Gravity

  • Spiritual Makeup: Warp

  • Process: Universe Binding

Minerva

  • You're standing in it.

Hermes

  • Space and time are one and the same. Wherever you are is when you are, the frequency of your vibrations, your dimensional signature, and the potential within you. How would one separate these beyond a single measurement of the mind?

Jared

  • To quote a game from one of the more common forms of Earth. I’M IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

Kay

  • (Confused thinking sounds)

Channel: Space

Ester

  • Anyone who controls space must be the most certain, most confident person alive. To wield space, to transform it without pride is painful. Space does not want to be controlled. All we can do is control the lives we live in the space that surrounds us.

Kay

  • Space cannot exist without time.

= World of Starlight =

  • Alternate Name: Light, Galaxy

  • Essence Expression: Light

  • Physical Makeup: Stardust

  • Spiritual Makeup: Stars

  • Process: Fusion

  • Planet: Karee’s Homeworld, currently unnamed

Karee

  • Stars, galaxies, and light itself. Starlight is purity, completion, and love.

Infernus

  • Light is the first concept that Chaos ever made. Separating the light from the darkness was no easy feat. In order to have something to look at, you have to have somewhere to look from. If you have nowhere to stand, then you have nowhere to be. If you can’t even tell what you’re looking at, then you have nothing.

Jared

  • Some things never change. Be they draconic or primate, humanity has always looked up at those beautiful shimmering lights and reached for them. In my case, beyond them.

Terra

  • The gentle light of stars is the universe trying to turn back into what it was at the beginning. We gather up some of that light and use it to grow crops, energize ourselves, and move the world forward.

Hermes

  • Starlight is something of a recent phenomenon. At first we thought it was the generic essence that we all know how to use. It has been known since the beginning that light itself was merely the breakdown of something more fundamental, but few have taken interest in a place where essence is so concentrated that it always returns to itself.

  • Ask Karee about the stars. While she may not be the Primary World Seed of Starlight per se, she is the closest one we have to it right now.

Minerva

  • Most of what you are made from came from the stars, even if you don’t know it. Stars are the beginning and the energy of most living things.

Tobias

  • (after hearing about purifying the void) Yes. We should do that.

Sheral

  • What is and what is not are not set in stone. I don’t care how you separate your magic or how it is used, so long as Ziya and my sister are safe. If this is the way it is now so be it.

Channel: Aether

Ester

  • I feel everything and nothing all at once. It’s like there is a soul crying out to be whole again, but I can’t see or hear it. It’s wrong. (in a whisper of a scream) All of it is so wrong. Please make it stop. I don’t want to feel like this!

Tobias

  • (Reveling in the power that is nothing) Tortured maniacal laughter. (A small voice inside) Help me.

Melody

  • The void, Aether, Corruption, All of it is a scar upon this land. Whether it be here or elsewhere it should exist. If I could give my life to cleanse this world from such a plague I would.

Kay

  • I don’t understand. Just thinking of it makes me dizzy. Why does everyone else feel that this darkness is so wrong? It robs me of my senses, but when it is all over, shouldn’t even chaos and darkness have a chance to exist?

Tenebrous

  • Is there a way to harness this to our advantage?

Trinity

  • This darkness, It feels like home.
