Augur

Augur, also known as power and/or magic, is a supernatural force which exists in every section of everyday life. Used as tools and bought and sold all over the world, Augur is the foundation of Arth, and usually the driving force for conflicts or resolutions. Augur is also utilized by mages, usually for combat, art, or service.
== Overview ==
Augur is the physical embodiment and output of energy created by the soul. When a mage utilizes augur, they connect to the flow of energy in the universe to output augur, using things such as emotion or extreme concentration to summon. Only sentient or conscious beings can directly utilize and control magic, with things that are not often either emitting constant magical output, such as an amulet or wand, or is used as a conductor or for storage of augur. Magic can also be treated like an energy source, with many popular augur items being able to be used by a mage charging it or a magically charged stone or object. 
Due to augur originating in the soul for humans, magic is also tied to one's life force, and can cause weakness, illness, and/or death if the balance of augur in a mage's body is thrown off. Magical output and amount can also determine the amount of life energy they can give off, meaning powerful mages often need less sleep than mages weaker than them, and immortal beings with constant augurial output require no sleep, eating, or breathing to live or cultivate magic over time. Alongside the consumption of powerful objects and gifting from other magic, constant training of magic can also increase magic because it teaches the body to allow more magic inside of a person to maintain augurial homeostasis more easily. 
=== Cycle of Augur ===
Augur has a cycle that allows for constant magical output and use. Similar to the water cycle, when magic is finished in it's output, it becomes augur particles that are absorbed by nature, and in turn is renewed and implanted in things such as animals, plants, or minerals, and even the air. So when a mage eats, breathes, and rests, they earn back these particles, returning their bodies to the set amount of magic they have. 
== History ==
Being around since the beginning, with augur being used to create and implanted within the core of Arth, it is deeply ingrained within all life. However, while nature and many other creatures can use augur, humans have only been able to use it for the past one thousand years. The first human to possess magic, Primulos, became the Sire of Augur, and all human mages alive are descended from them. Only twenty percent of the population are wizards in the current day. 
== Types ==
There are two main classifications of augur that exist:
Yielding- Magic that is expelled from the body without aid from a power source or conductor. Can only be used by humans gifted with or born with magical ability, and therefore is less commonly used.
Keeping-Augur that requires the use of an external magic source to produce. While it usually also requires the use of augur from the mage's body, it can also be used by non-magic wielders if the external source is already powered up by an augur battery or a mage charging it, and is therefore the most commonly used augur type. 
Within the classifications of magic there is also subgroups, such as:
* Locked-Magic that can only be used by certain creatures, or is restricted from use and can only be unlocked by certain means, and forcing an attempt has great consequences when rules are violated. 
* Venerable-Magic that has existed since prehistoric times and can only be used by immortals or highly skilled mages. Often lost due to it's great power or general inaccessibility, and most users are uncommon. 
* Augur Items- Items charged with magic for specific or general use. One of the most common forms used by all people. Usually enchanted or charged. 
=== Origins ===
All augur has three original ancestors that have evolved and changed from:
Kumaic Magic, also known as the Mother Augur, is the only magic that can naturally occur in humans. While it's origins are traced also inside dragons, Kumaic Magic is the origin of all human born magic, and is incredibly versatile, with the ability to become almost any type of magic capable of being used by humans, other certain creatures like Dragons, and its creator, Kumari. This versatility has led to it's quick evolution, and no human alive possesses pure Kumaic Magic, as it has been so far evolved into many other forms of human magic, that the fact that traces of the magic are only known due to the Book of Kumari and records of Primulos.
With Kumaic Magic, a mage can create or use any type of magic that it falls under, but it requires certain ingredients and techniques to use and create magic. It is essentially the magic equivalent of carbon, and can bond with multiple things to create multiple magical compounds. Kumaic Magic is also just simply pure magic, meaning it is effective against all types of magic.
Chaos Magic- The magic with the ability to manipulate reality itself through changing or summoning. This magic is the origin of creation type augur, time based magic, and other types. Chaos Magic is different from Deity Magic because while Chaos Magic can manipulate reality, it can only make non living things using augur particles from either the mage or from nature. Most wielders of Chaos Magic are demons, specifically Chaotic Demons. 
Deity Magic- Also called Silt Magic, this augur is capable of creating living and/or conscious beings, and is mostly used by gods, with rare exceptions from other beings.
