Froth

The mysterious energy known as Froth, Froth, which pervades the fabric of spacetime, has a strong mystical influence in the Ichorverse. Although Froth is frequently compared to The Force, it has a variety of skills that go beyond simple cosmic relationships. Though its origins and function are still unknown, the general consensus is that Froth is the fundamental energy that dates all the way back to the beginning of existence. It is the essence that gives reality its distinctive qualities, such as the peculiar sound of a whistle or water being wet.

## Tenets of Froth

The Eight Tenets of Froth, which cover many subjects and correspond to particular kinds of magical skill, serve as the foundation of its magic. Each Tenet has a relationship to many facets of magic, such as blessings, curses, necromancy, time travel, reality-bending, and the skill of illusion casting. These Tenets are thought of as Space, Mind, Death, Reality, Dream, Life, Body, and Time, and they are viewed in that sequence. This exact arrangement appears again throughout the old ichor texts, affecting the relationships between the components of Froth.

## Froth Casters

The power to access and control the power of Froth is held by Froth Casters, people who possess this ability. Numerous titles for these unusual beings exist, including "casters," "wizards," "froth-users," and "witches." Nevertheless, most Froth-users can only access one particular Tenet of Froth, regardless of the title. They may channel the essence of their chosen Tenet and change the focus of their magical talents because their skills are intimately related to that Tenet.

A dream froth user, for example, specializes in conjuring complex illusions, while a mind froth user has the capacity to peek into other people's minds. A person who uses death froth, on the other hand, possesses dark abilities such as curses and necromancy that allow them to control the forces of life and death.

### Using Lower Ranking Froth

Froth users primarily work inside their own Tenet while casting spells, with some limited ability to access lower-ranking Tenets. For instance, dream-casters have access to a variety of dream-based spells, but they may also be less skilled at reality manipulation or magic that deals with death. Froth-users typically find their skills getting weaker as the Tenets get higher up the list, from lowest to highest, because those Tenets are farther away from their own. For example, it is uncommon to see Time-casters use Space spells and they may even be unable to cast them. Each caster has their own special talents and phenomena that materialize, varying the degree to which lower-ranking Froth-users can use higher Tenets.

### Singular Special Abilities

The casters do possess unique special abilities, however they are uncommon. These people demonstrate outstanding competence in a single Tenet or a particular area within a Tenet. A caster who specializes in telekinesis inside the Reality Tenet, for example, has unmatched power over mentally manipulating items. However, they lack skill in other facets of the Reality Tenet or lower-ranking Tenets and are only knowledgeable in that one specific feature.

##### Froth Tenet Children

According to legend, there are Froth Tenet Children who are born in every world. They are thought to have been endowed with innate, limitless powers connected to a certain Tenet when the cosmos itself formed them. One of the eight subcategories within each Tenet is given to each Tenet Child. These remarkable people embody the essence of their Tenet and are endowed with unfathomable power that may be both a blessing and a curse.

It is stated that eight weeks after a Tenet Child "ichors away," or passes away, the universe gives birth to a substitute. This cycle maintains the equilibrium of the existing cosmos. It is thought that the fragile equilibrium of that universe would collapse if all eight Tenet Children perished before the universe could produce replacements, ultimately bringing about the cessation of existence on that plane.

## Training in Froth

Training in Froth is a difficult endeavor that necessitates commitment, tenacity, and frequently results in bodily suffering for those who seek mastery. Those who want to use Froth to its fullest extent must put in years of arduous practice and follow strict regimens. Since Froth was never meant to flow through mortal veins, the only way to access the full range of its abilities is through destroying the human body. While impressive, high-ranking Froth-casters can also be a source of anxiety. They can develop an addiction to the tremendous power they possess and go insane due to the mind-boggling complexity of the divine matrix that is reality itself.

There are three established ranks of skills inside the realms of Froth, denoted as Wé, Ku, and Gi in order of lowest to highest. These positionsillustrate the increasing degrees of competence and skill in using Froth. Wé denotes the beginning of the journey, when Froth-users pick a Tenet and start learning the core ideas and foundational spells linked with it. The wielder is beginning to learn the subtleties of Froth's power at this period of research and understanding.

Gaining the Ku ranking is a huge improvement. At this point, Froth-users have developed their abilities and broadened their spellbook as they delve further into the secrets of their Tenet. They have a more expert grasp of Froth, which enables them to cast more complex and powerful spells. Ku-ranked casters are frequently regarded as excellent practitioners in their chosen Tenet and valued for their knowledge.

Only a small number of people may accomplish the unusual achievement of ascending to the highest level, Gi. Gi-ranked Froth-users are regarded as masters of their Tenet, exhibiting unmatched skill and wielding stupendous powers. They have gone beyond the confines of what is typically understood, pushing Froth to its limit. The power of Gi-ranked spellcasters may be both amazing and overwhelming, therefore they are revered while yet being treated with caution.

## Froth Evolution and the Primal Essence

The notion of Froth has a fascinating origin story, dating back to a period when it existed as a simple and formless essence. Froth was a flexible material that permeated the fundamental fabric of reality in the Ichorverse's early beginnings, signifying the limitless potential and underlying energy of existence. This primal essence experienced a dramatic change as the Ichorverse began to take shape. The essence of Froth crystallized into numerous facets as mighty beings and cosmic forces emerged, each embodying a certain principle or feature of the universe.

Among the countless creatures who rose to prominence in the Ichorverse, eight deities became the principal hosts and were most closely identified with the various Froth tenets. Farn, Tinem, Animem, Katera, Quol, Ichnavern, Dredmabus, and Vexta are the deities.

Linked with **Space Froth**, Farn, the deity of Stories and Good Endings, became the embodiment of the Ichorverse's enormous expanse and cosmic proportions.

Linked with **Mind Froth**, Tinem, the deity of Spoken Word, became the realm's manifestation of consciousness and intellectual power. Tinem gained a great awareness of the subtle workings of the mind and the power of thoughts and ideas to create reality as a result of their intimate connection to the essence of Froth.

Linked with **Death Froth**, Animem, the deity of Memory, took on the responsibility of preserving and guiding souls through the Ichorverse. As the personification of the unavoidable cycle of life and death, Animem harnessed the essence of Froth to preserve the departed souls' memories, histories, and connections, ensuring their legacy remains.

Linked with **Reality Froth**, Katera, the deity of Balance, became the Ichorverse's custodian of balance and harmony. Katera sculpted the very fabric of reality, drawing on the essence of Froth to maintain the delicate balance between the concrete and intangible, the seen and unseen.

Linked with **Dream Froth**, Quol, the deity of Creativity, welcomed the ethereal realm of dreams and imagination. Quol tapped into the limitless creative force of the Ichorverse by their strong connection to the essence of Froth, spurring invention and fuelling the innovative ambitions of sentient species.

Linked with **Life** **Froth**, Ichnavern, the deity of Souls and Patterns, personified the vigor and intricate patterns that shape reality. Ichnavern became the keeper of life energy and the interwoven web of souls by their connection to the essence of Froth, fostering and guiding the ever-evolving fabric of life.

Linked with **Body Froth**, Dredmabus, the deity of Desire, was tasked with crafting the bodily forms and corporeal components of the Ichorverse. Dredmabus oversaw the physicality of beings, influencing their wants, passions, and corporeal manifestations as the essence of Froth flowed through them.

Linked with **Time Froth**, Vexta, the deity of Matter, Material, and Non-Human Earth, became the Ichorverse's guardian of temporal flow and rhythmic cadence. Vexta braided the threads of time, managing the ebb and flow of moments, histories, and the continuity of existence, drawing on the essence of Froth.

As the hosts and embodiments of the many Froth tenets, these eight deities play critical roles in determining the Ichorverse's future and guiding the lives of its inhabitants. Their ties to the primordial essence of Froth allow them to channel its limitless potential, weaving and altering the Ichorverse.
