Soulic

Soulic is the the art of harnessing the power of Souls and soul, manipulating them, using **Soulweaving** and **Soulreading**, and transferring the energy of soul, using **Soulbinding** and **Soulshifting**. By using these techniques, humans can accomplish many things, split into the nine schools of soulic:

**Dynomancy**– (Soulshifting)- The most simple of type
of soulic, used quite widely. With this, soul is transferred into
kinetic energy, creating an acceleratory force that makes objects move
and gain momentum. For most beginners this will just be a small
explosion of energy, but in time in can be refined to do anything from
levitating objects with precision to launching large projectiles. The
most powerful Dynomancers can even levitate themselves.

**Pyromancy**– (Soulshifting)- Similar to Dynomancy,
Pyromancy converts soul straight into energy, but at a much more precise
 level. Instead of causing a whole object to move coherently, each of
the atoms in the matter is individually vibrated. This causes an object
to heat up, even catch fire depending on the material. Pyromancy has
both advantages and disadvantages compared to Dynomancy, even though it
uses much less soul, the Pyromancer has to have a much greater level of
focus, taking many more years to master.

**Synkomancy**– (Soulbinding)- Most users of soulic will
 learn at least a bit of Synkomancy, although the degree varies. The
basic idea is to take soul from the environment around oneself to add to
 their own Soul to be used. The difficulty comes when the soul is
structurally bound to the matter, such as a living Soul, the most
condensed natural form of soul. This means that the soul has to be
unwoven from its structure to come free. Loose soul can be collected
with relative ease.

**Perimancy**– (Soulbinding & Soulweaving)- The
opposite to Synkomancy, Perimancy is binding soul to matter, usually
with the soul in a lattice structure. This is used to strengthen
materials, as well as create soulgems, hollow rocks which can store
large quantities of soul in their soul-infused stone; soul that can then
 be released when the soulgem physically broken. This is possible
because the trapped soul is not bound to any matter; instead the
surrounding lattice of soul keeps it from dispersing away.

**Mylomancy**– (Soulreading)- A skill more learned that
trained, Mylomancy is the ability to read someones mind or memories
merely by sensing the structure of the person’s Soul, rather than
linking the memories directly into ones own Soul using Syndemancy. It’s a
 mixture of refining the sensing of soul, to differentiate different
layers within a living Soul, and learning the different patterns created
 by different thoughts and memories.

**Syndemancy**– (Soulweaving)- One of the more uncommon
types of soulic, Syndemancy is the ability to take 2 streams of thoughts
 (thoughts being the brains representation of the present, a mix of
memory, sensory inputs and logic) and merge them together. This is an
easy way to communicate and share memories. It is mainly used by ancient
 druids, so they could live alongside the creatures of the forests. The
problem is that once two souls are linked, it is difficult to separate
them. Doing so could cause accelerated decaying and unbalancing of the
soul.

**Ennomancy**– (Soulreading & Soulweaving)- Using
many of the skills Mylomancy, an Ennomancer can create ideas or
memories, either from the separated strands of existing memories or, if
the Ennomancer is skilled enough, from raw soul.

**Skepsimancy**– (Soulweaving)- Placing a foreign idea
or memory into someone's mind. This is one of the most difficult type of
 soulic, requiring incredible amounts of time and precision. Skepsimancy
 can also be used to create an illusion, for example, replacing ones
sensory input with the blank shell of a memory will momentarily blind
and confuse an enemy on a battlefield. Another use is placing an
isolated memory in someone’s mind will allow it to be transported
without fear of the courier revealing the message if captured, as long
as the enemy doesn't have a Mylomancer.

**Necromancy**– (Soulweaving & Soulbinding)- The
most complex type of soulic, and also one of the most powerful,
Necromancy is used to create Souls. These Souls can be programmed in any
 way desired, and with any complexity, from a simple ‘zombie’, only
knowing how to eat and sleep, to organisms that's Souls are on par with
naturally occurring Souls. Once the Soul is created, it must be
precisely bound to the body of an organism; and once that is completed
and the creatures heart restarted, the Soul and body will be one, and
life is made.
