'''Vaelien''' (sometimes Vae'lien) is a god on the continent of [[Mythralis]]. Known as the Tyrant in Gold on [[Kaldwyn]], he is believed to have conquered the entire world outside of the continent. [[Tristan Cadence|Tristan]] has refuted this, claiming he does not rule the entire world.

Vaelien is believed to be the god of fate, time, shadows, and nature. [[Therin Thorn]] tells [[Corin Cadence|Corin]] that Vaelien wields the power of the [[vae essence|Vae Dominion]].

<blockquote>"You know of the magic of the Vae Dominion, do you not?”

Rethri

Stardust:

{{Species

|Series=[[War of Broken Mirrors]]
}}
The '''Rethri''' are a species of humanoids that look very similar to humans, except for the lack of sclera in the eyes. Rethri have a strong connection to a single dominion, which provides them an extra pool essence of that dominion type to work with before having to start paying the price like normal dominion sorcery. Rethri eye color often, but not always aligns, with the dominion they are strongly connected with. This strong connection prevents them from using the opposite mana type, but they are able to utilize other mana types. Rethri go through a secret ritual when they come of age which reinforces the connection to the dominion. Rethri who lack the connection to a dominion are called ''uvar'' and become sick and die.

Dominion Breaker

2026-10-06T02:44:40Z

Stardust: /* In A War of Broken Mirrors */

The '''Dominion Breaker''' or '''Sae'kes Taelien''' (often just '''Sae'kes''') is a powerful dominion marked sword in the possession of [[Taelien Salaris]]. The name Sae'kes Taelien is from the Liadran language and roughly translates to 'sword that gives destruction to all things'. It is not commonly known that the Sae'kes Taelien and the Dominion Breaker are the same sword.

The Sae'kes is a symbol of the [[Tae'os Pantheon]], as it was wielded by [[Aendaryn]], the god of swords, and is as such holy to Tae'os followers like the [[Paladins of Tae'os]].

Its scabbard uses immensely powerful protection sorcery to restrain the sword's annihilation aura.

== Appearance ==

The sword had a winged crossguard, seven runes (for each god of the [[Tae'os Pantheon]]) and two gems (one connected to the [[Travel essence|Dominion of Travel]] and the other to the [[Acuity essence|Dominion of Insight]]).

== Abilities ==

*Annihilation Aura (always active): Activating the sword's seven runes compresses the aura, making it more potent.
*Spell Breaker: the ability to detonate spells, artifacts and enchantments. Detonating even weak spells causes great destruction with varying types of damage depending on the essence type of the destroyed spell. When Taelien destroys enchanted items with this technique a little essence from the item goes to him, empowering him.
*Essence/Mana Breaker: causes essence within the body of anyone cut with the Sae'kes to explode, which could then potentially cause a chain reaction of essence resulting in an infinitely spreading explosion.
*Dominion Breaker: This technique is sealed away with part of its incantation lost forever.

The sword is powered by the [[Sae essence|Sae Dominion]].

== In [[War of Broken Mirrors]] ==

After being badly injured in a fight against [[Vaelien]], Aendaryn, the former wielder of the sword, told [[Eratar]] to take care of Aendaryn's son, Taelien, and to give him the Sae'kes when Taelien was ready. Eratar in turn asked some [[Rethri]] friends of his to keep Taelien safe for him and gave them the Sae'kes. Taelien grew up being told that the Sae'kes was his birthright, but without any information about why.

When he was little and not yet allowed to use the sword, he took it anyway while his adoptive parents were sleeping, drew it and destroyed their house on accident due to the swords annihilation aura. In later years he trained to activate as many runes of the sword as he could to compress that aura and as such have better control over the sword. That training helped strengthen the dominion connections in his body. In a fight against [[The Wandering War]] in [[Stealing Sorcery]], he realizes that he can switch the hand with which he holds the sword, first charging some of the runes with one hand, then some with the other, allowing him to activate all seven runes.

Taelien uses [[Metal essence|metal sorcery]] to lock the sword in its scabbard, so that no one except him (or someone else with metal sorcery) can draw it.

Every time that Taelien uses the Sae'kes it leaks some annihilation essence into his body, giving him an aura that annihilates everything around him and a supply of annihilation essence that he can use. The blade's aura does not hurt him despite cutting almost everything else.

That causes Eratar to think that Taelien is the sword's spirit or that they are otherwise connected, which he tells Taelien at the end of [[Defying Destiny]].

== In [[The Lost Edge]] ==

The version of the Dominion Breaker found by [[Lien]] does not have the typical winged-crossguard sae'kes appearance, instead having jagged branching points. The gems in its handle had been removed as part of Aendaryn's effeorts to modify the sword. By imbuing a bit of [[spirit essence]] into the sword and twisting the pommel, Edge was able to transform the sword into different forms for different combat styles. These include:
*'''Soulsever''', which turned the greatsword into a longsword.
*'''Somniasever''', which turned the greatsword into a curved, single-edged sword.
When using Somniasever, Lien was also able to borrow power from the [[dreams essence|dream]] aspect of the sword and the [[Nightmare Lien|version of himself tied to it]].

Tae'os Pantheon

2026-10-06T02:37:38Z

Stardust:

The '''Tae'os Pantheon''' were a group of seven deities worshipped across parts of [[Mythralis]] and [[Artinia]]. Their followers included the [[Paladins of Tae'os]], who had a base in the Citadel of Blades in the city of [[Velthryn]]. The pantheon had some kind of connection to the [[Tae essence|Tae Dominion]], with the name Tae'os translating to "those who give". [[Aendaryn]] had a limited ability to wield the tae essence.

According to [[Erik Tarren]], the pantheon is no more. After [[Aendaryn]] lost his arm fighting against [[Vaelien]], he was never seen again, so his current status is unknown. Tarren stated that two other deities left for other continents, with one planning to raise an army to continue "a doomed war". Three chose to change their allegiance or abandon the battle. The last of the seven was Tarren himself.

One of the core beliefs of those who followed the Tae'os Pantheon was the protection of others.

== Members ==
;[[Aendaryn]]: God of Swords and leader of the pantheon. He formerly wielded the [[Dominion Breaker|Sae'kes Taelien]], the symbol of the pantheon.
;[[Sytira]]: Goddess of Knowledge and Sorcery. She is among the most powerful of the gods and the patron deity of many scholars and sorcerers.
;[[Erik Tarren|Eratar]]: God of Freedom, Air, and Travel. He is the patron deity of travelers and merchants.
;[[Koranir]]: God of Strength and Stone. He is the patron deity of soldiers.
;[[Xerasilis]]: God of Justice and Fire. He is the patron deity of judges.
;[[Lysandri]]: Goddess of Water and Clarity. She is the patron deity of sailors and frequently associated with self-sacrifice.
;[[Lissari]]: Goddess of Life. She is the patron of healers and doctors.

'''Sera Cadence''', also known as '''Sera Shard'''<ref name="aa">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic''</ref>, is the sister of [[Corin Cadence]], and an [[Invoker]] with a contract to the God Serpent [[Seiryu]]. She was recently suffering from ice forming on her body after [[Saffron]] punched through her and [[Aayara Haven]] saved her. Sera is one of the main characters in the Arcane Ascension series.

|}

=== Invoker Attunement ===
Sera has an ascended attunement, Invoker. It is an ascended [[Summoner]] attunement, with the new addition that Invoker allows Sera to draw on the mana and abilities from her summoned creatures. She can form contracts and bind monsters. Sera has a shroud, a magical aura that slows down or stops attacks, from her attunement. She is a lung marked attuned so she typically uses incantations with her spells. She can cast a binding spell that allows her to make weak copies of monsters with the word "bind" and if the monster is intelligent she can form a contract in which they exchange mana. Each bound and contracted creature costs Sera some of her mana pool but as an Invoker her pool grows faster than most other attunements. The Invoker attunement gives access to air and transference mana which can be combined to form travel mana.

==== Invoker Function ====
TODO

===== Contracts =====
Sera has made a number of contracts with different monsters, some of them enabling her use of their mana types. Sera frequently summons copies of her contracted monsters to aid her in battle. If she 'invokes' her contracts she can draw on their mana pool and spells.

;[[Seiryu]]
Sera negotiated a contract with Seiryu the God Serpent during her [[Judgment]], allowing her to use ice magic<ref name="aa" /> and grants her limited control over ice magic. Seiryu copies can only be summoned within the Spires and Sera uses the chant "Serpent of the deepest depths, / Mother of a thousand spawn, / Power beyond mortal grasp, / I call upon our bond. / My strength to yours is nothing, / But my soul to yours demands, / Fulfill the oath we made as one, / And come to my command! / Seiryu, I summon you." Sera does not have the power to true summon Seiryu but even a fraction of Seiryu is devastatingly powerful.

;[[Vanniv]]
Vanniv is a karvensi. A "fashion model"-looking monster with wings and "perfectly-sculpted muscles of stone." He wields a number of different mana types and is frequently summoned by Sera. He is somewhat magic resistant and has intelligence to match a person. Vanniv can use ice, fire, lightning and earth mana. Sera's updated contract with Vanniv gives Sera access to earth mana.

;[[Researcher]]
Researcher is a knowledge elemental. She looks like a shimmering blue woman with brown hair. She has access to mental mana and her contract with Sera allows Sera to use mental mana.

;Susan the Spectre
Susan the Spectre is a ghost who wields a knife. Sera gets spirit mana from Susan. Susan's touch causes a great numbness in the touched area.

;[[Emery Verena]]
Sera formed a contract with the spire formed copy of Emery Verena. The contract costs Sera next to nothing.

;[[Transcendence Gateway Crystal]]
Sera managed to form a contract with the Transcendence Gateway Crystal, granting her transcendence mana. She can also summon a copy of the Crystal which can then form duplicates of it's test takers. For example, Sera summoned a copy of the Transcendence Gateway Crystal and the Crystal then formed three copies of Keras from when he took the Crystal's trial.

;Globbulon
Globbulon is a slime the size of a train car. Sera has previously summoned Globbulon in the air and dropped it on top of her Lute as a strategy.

;[[Satsuki]]
Satsuki is a murder serpent and a descendant of Seiryu. She looks like a tall woman with turquoise hair flecked with splotches of blue and green. She wears armour covered in purple scales and carries a red glaive. Satsuki can an 'aura' of murder. It produces the taste of blood and a thumping of the heart which gets stronger as she approaches. She has three elemental shrouds. She has a great physical strength and speed and can produce a burning breath attack by consuming a bit of her fire shroud. She can also cause chest pain with a gesture and form spikes, spears, knives and blasts of red energy. She can also create a scream based breath attack.

==== [[air essence|Air Mana]] ====
Sera gets access to air mana from her attunement.
*'''Move Object''': Sera has an air spell that allows her to move objects towards her. She used the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact. Deliver this key unto me." The spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.
*'''Wind Barrier''': Sera has a spell that holds wind back. She uses the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact! Protect us from the wind." Again the spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.
*'''Float''': Sera can levitate upwards with wind mana. She uses the word "float" or "levitate."
*'''Wind Blast''': Sera can launch blasts of wind that push things away. She can also use blasts of wind to push herself. She can also produce an omni-directional wind.
*'''Flight''': Sera can use air mana to fly.

'''Sera Cadence''', also known as '''Sera Shard'''<ref name="aa">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic''</ref>, is the sister of [[Corin Cadence]], and an [[Invoker]] with a contract to the God Serpent [[Seiryu]]. She was recently suffering from ice forming on her body after [[Saffron]] punched through her and [[Aayara Haven]] saved her. Sera is one of the main characters in the Arcane Ascension series.

== Physical Description ==
Dark hair with curl pattern. She has grey eyes like Magnus (her father).

=== Invoker Attunement ===
Sera has an ascended attunement, Invoker. It is an ascended [[Summoner]] attunement, with the new addition that Invoker allows Sera to draw on the mana and abilities from her summoned creatures. She can form contracts and bind monsters. Sera has a shroud, a magical aura that slows down or stops attacks, from her attunement. She is a lung marked attuned so she typically uses incantations with her spells. She can cast a binding spell that allows her to make weak copies of monsters with the word "bind" and if the monster is intelligent she can form a contract in which they exchange mana. Each bound and contracted creature costs Sera some of her mana pool but as an Invoker her pool grows faster than most other attunements. The Invoker attunement gives access to air and transference mana which can be combined to form travel mana.

==== Invoker Function ====
TODO

===== Contracts =====
Sera has made a number of contracts with different monsters, some of them enabling her use of their mana types. Sera frequently summons copies of her contracted monsters to aid her in battle. If she 'invokes' her contracts she can draw on their mana pool and spells.

;[[Seiryu]]
Sera negotiated a contract with Seiryu the God Serpent during her [[Judgment]], allowing her to use ice magic<ref name="aa" /> and grants her limited control over ice magic. Seiryu copies can only be summoned within the Spires and Sera uses the chant "Serpent of the deepest depths, / Mother of a thousand spawn, / Power beyond mortal grasp, / I call upon our bond. / My strength to yours is nothing, / But my soul to yours demands, / Fulfill the oath we made as one, / And come to my command! / Seiryu, I summon you." Sera does not have the power to true summon Seiryu but even a fraction of Seiryu is devastatingly powerful.

;[[Vanniv]]
Vanniv is a karvensi. A "fashion model"-looking monster with wings and "perfectly-sculpted muscles of stone." He wields a number of different mana types and is frequently summoned by Sera. He is somewhat magic resistant and has intelligence to match a person. Vanniv can use ice, fire, lightning and earth mana. Sera's updated contract with Vanniv gives Sera access to earth mana.

;[[Researcher]]
Researcher is a knowledge elemental. She looks like a shimmering blue woman with brown hair. She has access to mental mana and her contract with Sera allows Sera to use mental mana.

;Susan the Spectre
Susan the Spectre is a ghost who wields a knife. Sera gets spirit mana from Susan. Susan's touch causes a great numbness in the touched area.

;[[Emery Verena]]
Sera formed a contract with the spire formed copy of Emery Verena. The contract costs Sera next to nothing.

;[[Transcendence Gateway Crystal]]
Sera managed to form a contract with the Transcendence Gateway Crystal, granting her transcendence mana. She can also summon a copy of the Crystal which can then form duplicates of it's test takers. For example, Sera summoned a copy of the Transcendence Gateway Crystal and the Crystal then formed three copies of Keras from when he took the Crystal's trial.

;Globbulon
Globbulon is a slime the size of a train car. Sera has previously summoned Globbulon in the air and dropped it on top of her Lute as a strategy.

;[[Satsuki]]
Satsuki is a murder serpent and a descendant of Seiryu. She looks like a tall woman with turquoise hair flecked with splotches of blue and green. She wears armour covered in purple scales and carries a red glaive. Satsuki can an 'aura' of murder. It produces the taste of blood and a thumping of the heart which gets stronger as she approaches. She has three elemental shrouds. She has a great physical strength and speed and can produce a burning breath attack by consuming a bit of her fire shroud. She can also cause chest pain with a gesture and form spikes, spears, knives and blasts of red energy. She can also create a scream based breath attack.

==== [[air essence|Air Mana]] ====
Sera gets access to air mana from her attunement.
*'''Move Object''': Sera has an air spell that allows her to move objects towards her. She used the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact. Deliver this key unto me." The spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.
*'''Wind Barrier''': Sera has a spell that holds wind back. She uses the chant "Wyvern, I call upon our pact! Protect us from the wind." Again the spell does not actually require a contract with a wyvern because Sera has air mana from her attunement naturally.
*'''Float''': Sera can levitate upwards with wind mana. She uses the word "float" or "levitate."
*'''Wind Blast''': Sera can launch blasts of wind that push things away. She can also use blasts of wind to push herself. She can also produce an omni-directional wind.
*'''Flight''': Sera can use air mana to fly.

Jaden Box

2026-10-06T02:32:15Z

Stardust:

The '''Jaden Box''' is a magical storage and summoning item created by [[Wrynn Jaden]]. It stores its content in an extradimensional space, allowing it to have a storage capacity so high that no limit has been found so far. It differs from other storage items in that it uses voice commands to store and retrieve specific items, instead of the user having to manually find and retrieve the desired item from the extradimensional space.

== Commands ==

* "Store [item name]": The item has to have been put into the box. Upon saying the command, it will disappear as it is stored in the extradimensional space. The item name is used to retrieve the item later.
* "Retrieve [item name]": The item is retrieved from the extradimensional space, appearing in the box. The Jaden Box reads the intent of the person saying the command, instead on only relying on the sound, to account for different ways of saying the item's name. It is also possible to say "retrieve all items".
* "Summon [name]": For summoning someone, one has to put something that is linked to the target, e.g. a blood sample, into the box. Then, upon saying the command, they will be teleported to the box. There is no apparent distance limit. After summoning someone, the box has to recharge approximately three months before being able to summon someone again.

'''Diamantine''' is one of the [[Six Sacred Swords]]. While being owned by the Edrian royal family, it was a prize for anyone beating its wielder in the [[Tournament of the Sacred Sword]]. It was split into multiple fragments by the Edrian Royal Family,<ref>Soulbrand Chapter XXXI</ref> which has resulted in Diamantine presently having multiple wielders.

==History==
Some of the fragments of Diamantine were embedded into one of the wrists of crown princess [[Edria Song]] and royal executioner [[Hannah Meiyer]]. Additionally, the [[Green Guardian]] is the humanoid form of another one of the fragments of Diamantine. These fragments can form whole weapons that look like Diamantine.

At the end of [[Soulbrand (Book)|Soulbrand]], the emperor rejoins most of the shards forcefully while being possessed by [[Akadi]]. After defeating him, [[Keras Selyrian]] gives the reunited Diamantine to the Green Guardian.

==Magic==
Diamantine possesses a strong bond to the Dominions of [[stone essence|Stone]] and [[density essence|Density]].

;Diamond Bond: Diamantine is able to make spirit bonds with wielders. It currently has one with [[Taelien Salaris|Keras Selyrian]] and presumably has one with its other wielders. Unlike [[Dawnbringer]] or [[Soulbrand]], only one fragment of Diamantine appears to be sapient: the [[Green Guardian]].

;Diamantine's Mark: Once someone bonds to a sacred sword, they gain a mark on their body similar to an attunement. The mark grows stronger over time and allows for the exchange of mana between the wielder and the blade, although Diamantine's exact mana is currently unknown. Diamantine generally enhances its wielder's strength and physical resilience.

;Petrification: Diamantine's cuts can cause its victims to turn to stone.

;Density Manipulation: Diamantine has some kind of incredible control over [[density essence]], which let [[Edria Song]] shatter solid metal weapons and armor like glass.

;Absurd Sharpness: Diamantine is supposedly sharp enough to to cut through virtually any material.

;Weight of the World: Diamantine's signature technique, Weight of the World, pushes the wielder's opponents down with incredible pressure. This ability may be some kind of gravity manipulation or mass manipulation. This ability was powerful enough to heavily stagger [[Taelien Salaris|Keras]], whose natural strength is one of the greatest in the world.

'''Soulbrand''' is one of the [[Six Sacred Swords]], representing the element fire. It is wielded by [[Ishyeal Dawnsglow]], although now it also exists in the form of the sentient spirit '''Akari'''.

==Personality==

==History==
A sentient spirit was in it, but it was suppressed by a set of runes on the sword. In [[Keras Selyrian]]'s duel against Ishyeal in the [[Tournament of the Sacred Sword]], Keras and [[Dawnbringer]] use their spellbreaker technique to deactivate those runes.<ref>Soulbrand Chapter XXIX</ref> Keras misses, however, resulting in the wrong runes being destroyed. This causes the spirit to be freed from the sword, taking a human form currently known as Akari.<ref>Soulbrand Chapter XXX</ref> Until further notice, this page will ''also'' serve for Akari's wiki, even though the she now exists in a separate form from the Soulbrand sword.

Soulbrand possesses a strong bond to the Dominions of [[flame essence|Flame]] and [[death essence|Death]].

;Burning Bond: Soulbrand's spirit bond creates a mark on the wielder's body, the same as any [[Six Sacred Swords|sacred sword]]. The mark grows stronger over time and allows for the exchange of mana between the wielder and the blade. The sword also can confer additional benefits to the wielder through the bond. It is theorized that Soulbrand might provide its wielder with stronger healing or regeneration powers.

;Soulfire: Soulbrand's blade is encompassed in flames that burn both the body and soul, which makes it incredibly damaging even to spiritual or phantasmal opponents.

;Crimson Sign: This ability causes a massive fireball to explode from the blade at point-blank range, enveloping everything nearby. Soulbrand's wielder is immune to this ability.

;Vermillion Edge: Similar to Crimson Sign, Soulbrand can conjure a blistering sphere of white-hot flame that can be directed towards enemies. Contrary to Crimson Sign, this attack is more of a ranged attack, is stronger, has a longer time to prepare, and is hot enough to melt metal and stone.

;Binding Blade: Soulbrand can create chains of fire to wrap around a target, binding the in place and sealing away a portion of their power.

;Spirit Healing: According to legend, Soulbrand can "restore the flame of life to the soul." This could refer to resurrection, but could also mean it can heal damage done to the spirit.

Dominion Breaker

2026-10-06T02:28:12Z

Stardust:

The '''Dominion Breaker''' or '''Sae'kes Taelien''' (often just '''Sae'kes''') is a powerful dominion marked sword in the possession of [[Taelien Salaris]]. The name Sae'kes Taelien is from the Liadran language and roughly translates to 'sword that gives destruction to all things'. It is not commonly known that the Sae'kes Taelien and the Dominion Breaker are the same sword.

The Sae'kes is a symbol of the [[Tae'os Pantheon]], as it was wielded by [[Aendaryn]], the god of swords, and is as such holy to Tae'os followers like the [[Paladins of Tae'os]].

Its scabbard uses immensely powerful protection sorcery to restrain the sword's annihilation aura.

== Appearance ==

The sword had a winged crossguard, seven runes (for each god of the [[Tae'os Pantheon]]) and two gems (one connected to the [[Travel essence|Dominion of Travel]] and the other to the [[Acuity essence|Dominion of Insight]]).

== Abilities ==

*Annihilation Aura (always active): Activating the sword's seven runes compresses the aura, making it more potent.
*Spell Breaker: the ability to detonate spells, artifacts and enchantments. Detonating even weak spells causes great destruction with varying types of damage depending on the essence type of the destroyed spell. When Taelien destroys enchanted items with this technique a little essence from the item goes to him, empowering him.
*Essence/Mana Breaker: causes essence within the body of anyone cut with the Sae'kes to explode, which could then potentially cause a chain reaction of essence resulting in an infinitely spreading explosion.
*Dominion Breaker: This technique is sealed away with part of its incantation lost forever.

The sword is powered by the [[Sae essence|Sae Dominion]].

== In A [[War of Broken Mirrors]] ==

After being badly injured in a fight against [[Vaelien]], Aendaryn, the former wielder of the sword, told [[Eratar]] to take care of Aendaryn's son, Taelien, and to give him the Sae'kes when Taelien was ready. Eratar in turn asked some [[Rethri]] friends of his to keep Taelien safe for him and gave them the Sae'kes. Taelien grew up being told that the Sae'kes was his birthright, but without any information about why.

When he was little and not yet allowed to use the sword, he took it anyway while his adoptive parents were sleeping, drew it and destroyed their house on accident due to the swords annihilation aura. In later years he trained to activate as many runes of the sword as he could to compress that aura and as such have better control over the sword. That training helped strengthen the dominion connections in his body. In a fight against [[The Wandering War]] in [[Stealing Sorcery]], he realizes that he can switch the hand with which he holds the sword, first charging some of the runes with one hand, then some with the other, allowing him to activate all seven runes.

Taelien uses [[Metal essence|metal sorcery]] to lock the sword in its scabbard, so that no one except him (or someone else with metal sorcery) can draw it.

Every time that Taelien uses the Sae'kes it leaks some annihilation essence into his body, giving him an aura that annihilates everything around him and a supply of annihilation essence that he can use. The blade's aura does not hurt him despite cutting almost everything else.

That causes Eratar to think that Taelien is the sword's spirit or that they are otherwise connected, which he tells Taelien at the end of [[Defying Destiny]].

In our terminology, Therin would be a transgender woman. Therin never transitioned during her life due to societal prejudices and her own fear. Because of this, visions of her depict her as a male, although the [[Therin (Echo)|Smiling Sword Saint]] that [[Lien]] trains under manifests as her true self, a woman. This is also why the echo [[Lien]] fights against, [[Thane]], looks like a boy.

==== Dominion of [[motion essence|Motion]] ====
Using motion sorcery costs speed temporarily and acclimating to it helps passively increase speed.

==== Dominion of [[sound essence|Sound]] ====
Sound sorcery temporarily weakens hearing.

==== Dominion of [[sight essence|Sight]] ====
Velas learned a small amount of sight sorcery from Jonan.

==== Unidentified Dominion ====
Velas has a strange, unknown power which she can use to remove foreign spells from her body. This power can hurt Vae'kes and may be related to the [[radiance essence|Dominion of Radiance]].

==== Artifact Sorcery ====
Velas has some marks which link her to various dominion marked items. These marks allow her to activate effects with specific 'Eru' phrases.

== Magic Items ==
;[[Heartlance]]: The Heartlance is Velas's primary weapon that she has wielded in every one of her appearances. Due to Edon's artifact sorcery, she is able to use some of the Heartlance's power without holding onto it.

Stardust: /* Dominions */

The magic of [[Venaya]] all uses the same underlying system of manipulating [[essence|Dominion essence]]. '''Dominions''' are planes of existence comprised of different types of essence, or as it's called on [[Kaldwyn]], mana. The world the story takes place on is on the '''Core Plane''' and can be considered a planet on a plane of existence set between all dominions. Venaya and all other core planes are made up of the essence of the dominions they are set between.

== Essence ==

Different essence types impact the body differently. Each essence also has a set of other essences that it either doesn't mix well with or at all. A list of all essence types and associated pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Essence]].

=== Prime Essence ===

A list of the Prime Essence pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Prime Essence]]. These essences are directly connected to the twelve Prime Dominions: motion, stability, life, death, wind, stone, flame, water, knowledge, deception, light and shadow.

=== Compound Essence ===

A list of the Compound Essence pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Compound Essence]]. Compound Essence is a mixture of two Prime Essence types at a specific ratio. These are related to the Deep Dominions.

=== Complex Composite Essence ===

A Complex Composite Essence is a mixture multiple essences at a specific ratio such that it creates a stable mixture. Also known as hybrid essences, there are thousands of variations. Almost any combination of essence types can form a hybrid, although some essence types have better compatibility with each other and merge more easily. Hybrid essences can also consist of other hybrid essences, or combinations of hybrid and nonhybrid essence types. Typically found on [[Dania]]. A list of known hybrid essences can be found on the page [[Hybrid Essence]].

=== Sub Essence ===

Sub-essences are specific amounts of an essence producing a variation on the traditional essence. For example, mixing motion and light usually produces the compound essence [[constellations essence|constellations]] but mixing it in a slightly different ratio instead produces [[radiance essence|radiance]]. Other sub-essences include '''force''' instead of [[motion essence|transference]] and '''break''' instead of [[ruin essence|ruin]].

== Dominions ==

There are sixty standard dominions in total. Each dominion has [[star|stars]] that act as a gateways or portals to a single dominion. These stars exist both on the core plane and in dominions. Each dominion is classified as either a [[prime essence|prime dominion]] or [[deep essence|deep dominion]] depending on how they connect to other dominions through these stars. Stars are gateways to a specific dominion or a celestial object like a planet. Deep Dominions are formed in the conflux of space between two primes dominions. The Prime and Deep Dominions are planes of existence that someone with the right abilities could visit.

Essence flows from the Dominions into the Core Plane and actions in the Core Plane can send essence back to the Dominion. Various [[Elemental|elementals]] exist in order to help facilitate this cycle of energy.

=== Prime Dominions ===

There are twelve Prime Dominions associated with the twelve Prime Essence types: Air, Flame, Stone, Water, Light, Shadow, Life, Death, Knowledge, Deception, Motion, and Stability.

=== Deep Dominions ===

There are forty-eight Deep Dominions. Each Deep Dominion is associated with a Compound Essence type.

== Definitions ==

=== Calling ===

Calling is creating something that doesn't already exist by providing essence, and, in general, by bringing essence from a source into the world, usually in the form of a spell being cast. The source can be from a Dominion, from an item, from your own personal essence pool, etc. For example, using your essence to create a fireball spell is calling.

=== Shaping ===

Shaping is manipulating existing essence. For example, pulling flames from a campfire and throwing them onto a target is shaping.

== Magic methodologies types in Venaya ==

The following types of magic methodologies have been discovered so far in [[Venaya]], and where you see them most often being gained or taught.

The list of Magic Types was provided by Professor Haven in Corin's Alternate Magic Sources class in AA4.

* [[Dominion Sorcery]] ([[Mythralis]])
* [[Attunement]] ([[Kaldwyn]])
* [[Crystal Marks]] ([[Kaldwyn]])
* [[Spirit Arts]] ([[Artinia]])

A list of known hybrid essences can be found on the page [[Hybrid Essence]].

=== Sub Essence ===

Sub-essences are specific amounts of an essence producing a variation on the traditional essence. For example, mixing motion and light usually produces the compound essence [[constellations essence|constellations]] but mixing it in a slightly different ratio instead produces [[radiance essence|radiance]]. Other sub-essences include '''force''' instead of [[motion essence|transference]] and '''break''' instead of [[ruin essence|ruin]].

== Dominions ==

There are sixty standard dominions in total. Each dominion has [[star|stars]] that act as a gateways or portals to a single dominion. These stars exist both on the core plane and in dominions. Each dominion is classified as either a [[prime essence|prime dominion]] or [[deep essence|deep dominion]] depending on how they connect to other dominions through these stars. Stars are gateways to a specific dominion or a celestial object like a planet. Deep Dominions are formed in the conflux of space between two primes dominions. The Prime and Deep Dominions are planes of existence that someone with the right abilities could visit.

=== Prime Dominions ===

There are twelve Prime Dominions associated with the twelve Prime Essence types. The prime dominions are associated with the prime essence types: Air, Flame, Stone, Water, Light, Shadow, Life, Death, Knowledge, Deception, Motion, and Stability.

=== Deep Dominions ===

There are forty-eight Deep Dominions. Each Deep Dominion is associated with a Compound Essence type.

== Definitions ==

=== Calling ===

Calling is creating something that doesn't already exist by providing essence, and, in general, by bringing essence from a source into the world, usually in the form of a spell being cast. The source can be from a Dominion, from an item, from your own personal essence pool, etc. For example, using your essence to create a fireball spell is calling.

=== Shaping ===

Shaping is manipulating existing essence. For example, pulling flames from a campfire and throwing them onto a target is shaping.

== Magic methodologies types in Venaya ==

The following types of magic methodologies have been discovered so far in [[Venaya]], and where you see them most often being gained or taught.

The list of Magic Types was provided by Professor Haven in Corin's Alternate Magic Sources class in AA4.

* [[Dominion Sorcery]] ([[Mythralis]])

'''Gateway Crystals''' are powerful sapient crystalline structures that serve (alongside stars) as portals for [[essence]] to interact with the world. There are individual crystals for each continent on a world. The crystals are able to construct dungeon scenarios around them and are mostly found within '''shrines'''. On [[Kaldwyn]], humans can enter Gateway Shrine scenarios in order to attempt to get a [[Crystal Marks|crystal mark]] or other boon.

The crystals are immensely powerful but completely stationary, so their powers have a limited range of effect. They can communicate telepathically with creatures in their shrine and grant powerful gifts like crystal marks, magical items, and information. While most of their power is centered around their dominion, some crystals can use other forms of [[essence]] to augment their scenarios. To do so, the crystal functionally borrows energy from one of their "sibling" crystals.

The '''Elemental Temples''' where the [[Six Sacred Swords]] were forged are the shrines for crystals of a [[Magic|prime dominion]].

Crystal Marks

2026-10-06T02:11:07Z

Stardust:

'''Crystal Marks''' are a method of accessing [[magic]]. They can be granted by the [[Gateway Crystal|Gateway Crystals]] or Elemental Temples, which can only be found in the Unclaimed Lands on the continent of [[Kaldwyn]]. Generally these marks only give a single essence type and they act as a middle-ground between [[Dominion Sorcery]] and [[Attunement|Attunements]] as they can draw on the bodies resources like Dominion Sorcery but only after using the slowly recharging mana pool that the mark grants like an Attunement. Crystal marks tend to grow slower than Attunements and they have no functions or secondary benefits like extra mana types.

Crystal marks are generally considered inferior by the people of Kaldwyn but many of the stronger Attuned get a crystal mark to supplement their abilities. Like Dominion Sorcery, crystal marks have an efficiency so that the caster may have a ratio of (for example) 10:1 so for casting a 20 mana spell they would only spend 2 mana. Crystal marks have a more static efficiency than a Dominion Sorcerer.

The nation of Sytennia often ventures to get crystal marks from the Unclaimed Lands as they lack a [[Soaring Spires|Soaring Spire]] to obtain Attunements from.

Stardust: /* Definitions */

The magic of [[Venaya]] all uses the same underlying system of manipulating [[essence|Dominion essence]]. [[Dominion|Dominions]] are planes of existence comprised of different types of essence, or as it's called on [[Kaldwyn]], mana. The world the story takes place on is on the "[[core plane]]" and can be considered a planet on a plane of existence set between all dominions. Venaya and all other core planes are made up of the essence of the dominions they are set between.

== Essence ==

Different essence types impact the body differently. Each essence also has a set of other essences that it either doesn't mix well with or at all. A list of all essence types and associated pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Essence]].

=== Prime Essence ===

A list of the Prime Essence pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Prime Essence]]. These essences are directly connected to the twelve Prime Dominions: motion, stability, life, death, wind, stone, flame, water, knowledge, deception, light and shadow.

=== Compound Essence ===

A list of the Compound Essence pages can be found on the page [[:Category:Compound Essence]]. Compound Essence is a mixture of two Prime Essence types at a specific ratio. These are related to the Deep Dominions.

=== Complex Composite Essence ===

A Complex Composite Essence is a mixture multiple essences at a specific ratio such that it creates a stable mixture. Also known as hybrid essences, there are thousands of variations. Almost any combination of essence types can form a hybrid, although some essence types have better compatibility with each other and merge more easily. Hybrid essences can also consist of other hybrid essences, or combinations of hybrid and nonhybrid essence types. Typically found on [[Dania]]. A list of known hybrid essences can be found on the page [[Hybrid Essence]].
