Stardust Ocean

== The Stardust Ocean ==
The Stardust Ocean, as it is refered, is the etnirety of extra-terrestial space beyond Devidica's moons. The stars of other worlds and systems twinkle in the sky, evoking ideas and dreams of rainbows made of multi-colored sand flowing like rivers across the sky. Magic commonly pulled from this parallel relates to the colors, lights, and appearance of stars and their scintilating colors. However, its not uncommon to see multi-colored fire, violent torrents of sand and wind drawn from the Ocean of Stars.
A certain loneliness acompanies the idea that the stars being used as parallels are so far away--farther even than Devidica's Moons. Sensory and emotional manipulation as well as hyponotic suggestion are not unheard of being drawn from the parallel.
=== Light ===
The most common use as a parallel is to create lights or illuminate things. The Stardust Ocean is used in favor of the star Corris when individuals want to add more flare, and color to their lights. Swirls of dancing rainbow lights, flashing or gently strobing rainbows, and tapestries of shining rainbows are all commonplace.
=== Heat and Fire ===
As with most parallels that evoke thoughts of light and shining radiance, warmth and heat are not far behind due to the nature of people's relationship with the suns. While not as potent as other fire-aligned parallels, the Stardust Ocean does harbor a primordial fire within it--the fuel of the cosmos as it were. Often time through compressing their lights into consentrated points, sorcerer's lights become so focused that they burn with the vigor of stars.
=== Flow ===
The Stardust Ocean is said to be a flowing blanket of rainbow sand and rocks, being gently pushed through the heavens by unseen winds. These winds are more often than not realized as gentle, and even visible colorful swirls of a carassing breeze. Few will use this concept to launch particles and other matter with the force they might expect capable of sustaining a river of stone and sand.
=== Disillusion ===
The most striking, and enigmatic, feature of the Stardust Ocean is the idea of how "far away" it is. Devidica's moons are close enough to the planet to make out land features on their distant terrain. Yet they are still so far away and untouchable that the mind must wander to truely define those details. How much farther then, are these multi-colored lights in the sky, seemingly separated by mere inches when they're certainly cast apart by a distance as unimaginable as their bodies are.
It is from this concept and depressive realization of how small Devidica's inhabitants are that mind altering effects are borne. Most deal with the manipulation of emotional awareness, dulling one's reactivity to stimuli. Others might seek to alter physical perception of objects and concepts, making them "unimaginable".
