Arcanology

Overview

Words and things and paragraphs maybe

Affinites are born with a secondary kima pool, their bodies creating a natural source of their bound element, regardless what it may be. To many, it is the Only way to handle elements at or aobve the Qorvum tier.

Super-Random spells behave specifically in a manner best explained with dice. Take a loose smattering of dice, throw them in a bingo/lotto ball roller cage, spin the cage to randomly pull out a die, and then roll that.

The Kima

Kima is the measurement unit for any amount of Arcanum, and incrememnts in base 50 steps. A person's expected Kima count can be found by taking their average fitness(measured in Mitochondria per Cell, the average human is somewhere between 2000 and 2500) and multiplying that by their newtonic output divided by 1000.

Kima, 1 point of Arcanum worth approximately 0.889644 Newtons. 5 Kima is equal to 1 Pound-force, roughly.
Kila, a measure of 50 Kima, about 10 pounds of force exerted. Generally seen as the standard measure for a standard Fireball spell.
Kika, a measure of 50 Kila, or 2500 Kima, about 500 pounds of force exerted.
Kiha, a measure of 50 Kika, or 2500 Kila, or 125000 Kima, about 25000 pounds of force exerted. 10 Kihi is roughly a stick of tnt.
Kida, a measure of 50 Kiha, about 1,250,000 pounds of force. Roughly the strength of 5 sticks of tnt.
Kina, a measure of 50 Kida, about 62,500,000 pounds of force.
Kiga, a measure of 50 Kina, about 3,125,000,000 pounds of force.
Kiba, a measure of 50 Kiga, about 156,250,000,000 pounds of force, roughly the amount of force released by the nuclear bombs dropped on in Japan in WW2.

Classes

Magic, and by extension, Raw Kima, can be channeled with eight different sorts of Classes of Purity.

Arcanum Primordium

Magic made so focused that it returns to a nigh primordial, untempered state. It is overwhelming, chaotic, to use Arcanum Primordium classed spells is a struggle against the magic itself, and the few who have tried have failed to control it. The neutronium of magic. Magic Elements of this Class tend to be true anywhere, due to the simple fact of how broad and simple the elements are at their core, whilst still being more than near anyone can handle. Even artificial synthesis is dangerous with these elements.

Hexal Elements

Psychic Line

Blood Magic

Class: Advum Duos (IIb)

Spun up poorly, Psi magic spins into a more gruesome one, instead binding to Blood instead. Largely, it's an Oxygenic Element, and when manipulated correctly by someone who realizes what blood even really is, even expands out into Oxides under its domain. Most typically, however, it is used to control red ironblood, with rare cases extending into the insectoid pale yellow vanabinblood, and even rarer extending their usages into green chlorocruorin blood (found in worms), blue copper blood (found in spiders, cephalopods, and crustaceans), and purple hemerythryn blood (found in marine worms, such as the amusingly named penis worm).

Soul Magic

Class: Qorvum (IV)

Souls are distinctly magical structures found in living creatures. In analogy to the Body, the Soul is the Lungs and the rest of the respiratory system. Mind, Will, and Emotion are bound under it's dominion. Also included are Name, Personality, Vital Spark, and Shadow of Truth. This is where the standard Familiarization spells lie, as well as Living Art spells. Souls also take certain traits, which best are described as the types of drunks. Emotional Aspective are crying drunks, Neutral Aspectives never show they're drunk, Passion Aspectives are the Giggly Drunks, Chaos Aspectives are the kind of drunks who immediately try to strip and party, Love Aspectives are the drunks that flirt with anything that moves, Control Aspectives are drunks who tend to get aggressive to feel like they're in control of a situation.

Spirit Magic

Class: Fundemum (V)

Living bodies contain a great number of small nodes all throughout, the system of these nodes are the Spirit. In analogy to the Body, the Spirit would be the Heart, and the connected nodes would be the blood vessels of the Vascular System. The nodes in the Head form Intuition, in the Arms grants Communion, around the Heart grants Love, at the Core is Conscience, around the Hip lies Meaning, and within the Legs, Purpose. Those are the most commonly interacted nodes. Spiritomancers are feared, due to how they can change a person's entire Personhood.

Material Line

Flow Line

Time Magic

Class: Fundemum (V)

Spinning up Slime magic into the Fundemum tier finalizes the flow control state, the rivers of time begin to bend and sway before a master's touch, great oracles capable of reading the flow's directions and seeing the dominos in their rows. Notoriously, this element fights back and is more slippery than a lubed up bar of soap in the shower, making non affinites give up on this element. Temporomancers describe it as the most accursed element, due to the natural inclination of trying to undo a great personal tradgedy, yet never being able to prevent it, no matter how far back you go. A teenaged temporomancer tried to save their friend from a vengeful spirit, who originally got them killed, and it took 67 loops for the temporomancer to break and stop counting. None among those three survived, drowning deep within the ocean planet below their home space station.

Being Line

Techno Magic

Class: Qorvum (IV)

Magic described like being able to change settings like adjusting code on a screen. Manifests largely as wiry strings, and contains one of the better healing type spells, Re-format. Rewire type spells change internal states equivalently, changing colors, redistributing mass, minor twists to DNA can be achieved with the skill and focus of a surgeon, unless you're trying to cause some quick and dirty problems.

Pulse Line

Force Line

Primordium "Line"

Omni Magic

Class: Primordium (VII)

The Reality Bending Magic of Wish Granting and Creation. Every Single Interaction with Omni magic is a bargain with its ruling Madrago. Can defy causality in unique ways, if you can agree to the dragon's rules, or convince it otherwise. Typically, the dragon allows a maximum of Double your strength for weight, double your mass for size, and things that allign with the dragon's nature. Neutral wishes often have the dragon taking something for its own in exchange if not offered before granting. This element is most commonly bound into puzzle statues, which when united, act as a gateway vessel to communicate with the dragon for potential wishes. Affinites have to live with a dragon in their head every time they cast spells, watching and judging their every move.

Nullus Magic

Class: Primordium (VII)

The Reality Bending Magic which grants power over Nothingness, viewed in some worlds seen as Dark Matter and Dark Energy, while in others it's seen as magic over Empty Spaces, of which are Everywhere. A paradoxical Divide By Zero element, can negate Anything, create structures that behave as ever repulsive White Holes, can create and collapse vacuums in extremely destructive manners. A human can be collapsed into the size of a sugar cube if you remove all their empty space. The Madrago that upholds this element is notoriously picky about accepting its users, and hardly ever lends a claw, opting instead to allow the user to destroy themselves via misuse. Proper Nullomancers, such as Cassia Philomena, have to Earn that respect, and none of them could tell you how they did it, becuase none of them genuinely know what it was.

Zodiacal Elements

State Elements

Soulshade Elements

Soulshade Elements have an intentual aspect to them, their shape and qaulity being defined by the ever changing nature of the wielder's soul. A spherical soul is full of love, icosahedral souls are full of kindness, dodecahedral souls are selfless, octahedral souls are selfish, cubic souls are apathetic, and tetrahedral souls are full of hate.
