Minia Orma

The minia orma is a concept in magical philosophy which can be used to reference a number of phenomena. Working with the minia orma or the minia orma itself can be:
# Working with substance (roun): the ability to change types of energy (valë) or changing energy into material (erma) (Transubstantiation)
# Working with material (erma): the ability to change one type of material (orma) into another (Transmutation)
# Magic in visible form (light, orm, substance of the aether)
== Orm ==
Orm is a form of magic that appears to be a bright liquid, an amorphous solid that resembles the manifest form of a spirit. It is not solid and material, and cannot remain when a magus's power is disengaged from it. The term is reduction of minia orma, on account of the substance appearing to be material and to embody the concept of the minia orma.
== Etymology ==
Minia orma [Modern: mɪn.i.a ɔɚ.mə] comes from the High Elvish minya orma 'first material'.
