Magic: Difference between revisions

Magic requires some sort of fuel, and for the overwhelming number of Mages, this comes from other Dimensions. Dimensional theory is still very new, so much so that no living being from Aloria has actually visited these other Dimensions, but their essence still seeps into Aloria, which Mages can then hardness to defy the laws of reality and physics. While some speculate more realms exist, only the Exist, Void, Beyond, and Alorian Dimensions have been proven to exist. To get a better understanding of what each Dimension roughly represents and their themes, a more general description can be found here:

The Exist Dimension was the first Dimension that the living of Aloria broke into when the Seraph pierced the Veil (the magical barrier between Dimensions) and pulled essences from the Exist to fuel their magics. The Exist is an incomprehensible dimension of "everything all at once", where all sounds, all tastes, all sights, all colors, all materials, and all that is matter is solid and present at all times. It is often depicted with the themes of cleanliness, order, symmetry, structure, discipline, function over form, and evil deeds for good intentions.

===The Void===

The Void Dimension was the second Dimension that the living of Aloria (accidently) broke into when the Seraph pierced the Veil, but did not understand the law of equivalent reaction, which resulted in the Void also breaking into Aloria and initiating the first Void Invasion. The Void is an incomprehensible dimension of "nothing that was never", where any mind would be imperceivably extrapolated, where there is no warmth, no color, no light, no sound, no taste, and no feeling. It is often depicted with the themes of corruption, anarchy, asymmetry, selfishness, desire, and good deeds for evil intentions.  

The Beyond Dimension was the third Dimension that the living of Aloria became aware of, though it is speculated that in the same way the Void and Exist are connected through the law of equivalency, that the Beyond is the equivalency of Aloria, and as such was always connected. The Beyond is a more comprehensible dimension of dead Spirits, where souls who were taken from the Godly afterlife of Aloria go to be tormented and consumed by the various horror beings that live there. It is often depicted with the themes of death, decay, miasma, loss of self, loss of emotions, and the gray morality of death.  

Aloria is the world of the living, or where roleplay happens, and where all characters live and exist. Aloria itself is not strong in Magic, because the laws of reality and physics are enforced by the Gods and Creation. That being said, Aloria still knows 3 distinct types of Magic: Dragon Magic which was created by the Dragons to answer what they view as the corruption of other Dimensions, God Magic which are boons granted by the Gods to their faithful, and Life Magic which is exceedingly rare and pre-dated the Dragons and Gods, though is thought to be extinct from the world. These three categories are called Primal Magic together, though they are often distinguished seperately.
