Cinder Magic

A form of magic based on the use of Cinders. It is thus connected directly to Sol and even used by his Emissaries.
== Nature ==
Cinder Magic operates on two main mechanics, the presence of Cinders and Magic Circles. Said circles are not the kind drawn on the ground, but those created out of light using the user's own energy. In effect their chi is channel into patterns, based in circles.
The reason for this is simple, control. On their own Cinder generate a warp in space-time, and when one of these circles exists within that field, it will follow the instructions implied by circle's pattern. While this means mortals must know some form of magical energy/chi manipulation to use it, beings like Emissaries do not need circles to use this form of magic.
Perhaps because of Sol's stance against dark magic and Eldritch Things, Cinder Magic seems to exist to counter those two forces.
Higher Levels also make use of what is called 'Hyper Geometry'.
== Restraints/Weaknesses ==
* Will of Sol: As Sol is subconsciously aware of all Cinders and what they are being used for, Cinder Magic cannot be used without his consent.
* Cinder Stock: Cinders, when used in Cinder Magic, disappear, even if recycled, they will eventually disappear, especially when they get very far from Sol. Beings like Emissaries can exist indefinitely because they were intended to. Also the more powerful the spell, the more Cinders are needed.
== History ==
Possibly existing for as long as Cinders have, it is the power used by the Emissaries, to a lesser degree and by the Aspects.
When Cinders found their way to mortal realms, these portals would sometimes be used to create Cinder Ultras, but often times the particles would float wildly causing magical phenomenon, or being studied by mortals who would use it as a power source for technology or magic. It is theorized this was done on purpose, to help the mortals defend themselves from Eldritch Things.
