Pura

Pura is a bastardized version of the solar art, a fire-based tynar art that was developed from observing the sun. The art allows the user to generate an intense flame with unique abilities that are dependent on the state of the sun. While it is difficult to predict which type of the pura art a certain user will have, dracian scholars have determined two factors of the solar environment that play a major role in which qualities the pura art will take. These two factors are the current phase of the sun as well as the current constitution.

### Known Users

* Alvius Dracia
* Adalus Dracia
* Andro Dracia
* Serafine Dracia

## Phase

The phases of the sun come to the dracian scholars from the tynar, who had been tracking the solar phases for centuries. Using the tynar knowledge they have collected, the phases of the sun can be pretty reliably predicted, and each phase produces a flame with a different quality of the sun. The names of the phases are even the original tynar names, passed down through the centuries.

### Solenian

The phase Solenian is associated with the intense heat of the sun, and pura takes on those intense qualities for users born under this phase.

### Hathor

The phase Hathor is associated with fusion, the mending/creation aspects of the sun. Pura tends to take on a more healing or combinative aspect for users born under this phase.

### Heliac

The phase Heliac is associated with aspects of the sun centered around fuel and consumption. This phase produces relatively unique and interesting qualities for pura developed by users born under this phase.

### Emper

Not many are born under the phase of Emper, mainly due to the fact that it is the shortest solar phase as well as the fact that it only appears every few rotations. However, the pura of those born under this phase take on the aspects of the suns massive size and almost divinity.

## Composition

The second major factor in determining the qualities of pura one will develop is the constitution. Constitution is a quality developed by dracian scholars that generalizes multiple internal conditions present within the sun itself. Information on the constitution of the sun is convoluted and difficult to determine, and there is no ancient knowledge of the tynar tracking these internal conditions. It is believed that this is because the tynar were able to gain all qualities of the phase they were born under, and were unaffected by these internal conditions. Mortals however are much more affected by these internal conditions which prevent them from gaining the full powers of the phase.

The composition of the sun is difficult to derive and even more difficult to predict, and is mostly determined after someone has already developed their pura and the scholars are able to study the qualities of the flame.

### Regalus

Regalus is a constitution associated with what pura researchers dub the 'major flame' of each solar phase. Considered to be the flame most purely exemplifying those specific aspects and characteristics of the sun.

### Coronus

Coronus is a composition associated with mental aspects of each phase, this composition tends to give flames some aspect pertaining to the mind or emotion.

## Varenian Archives

The Varenian archives is a large accumulation of knowledge on the pura art as well as a wealth of information on the sun and its patterns. It is here that documentation of every version of pura discovered by the dracian royal family and its scholars is held. Below are the current pura abilities documented in the Varenian archives with their associated phase and composition. The archives are named after Varenian Dracia, a family member dedicated to the study of Pura who made many discoveries benefitting the royal family during his lifetime.

**Solenian Regalus**: The supreme flame, solenian regalus allows the user to produce the intensely hot, purifying flames of the sun.

**Hathor Regalus:** The mending flame, hathor regalus allows the user to produce a soft flame that heals physical damage at the cost of energy.

**Heliac Regalus**: The mutable flame, heliac regalus ???

**Hathor Coronus**: Produces a flame that is able to connect people's minds, allowing for feats such as telepathic communication.
