Primordials

**Primordials** are the most ancient form of God within Ikigai's cosmos, predating even the likes of Seinaru or the Inanian Deities. Responsible for the creation of all there is, the Primordials are ancient and all-powerful deities who reign over ideas and concepts themselves.

## History

In the very beginning of the universe, the Primordial God of Creation, **Genesis**, spawned several Primordial Deities each with specific jobs. *Sun*, *Space*, *Gravity*; all of these everlasting entities were created from the first ever deity to exist. Given these special jobs, Genesis would bestow upon each God under him a weapon of unparalleled power. Weapons that not only gave them extraordinary strength and the highest forms of magic, but immutable capability to fulfil their duties. These weapons would be called **apparatus bellicus**, or in modern language, **Armaments**. As the universe grew, more Primordial Deities would appear, creating the ever present concepts of the universe as we know it.

Though given strict code to not interfere with mortals, the Primordial Deities would become invested in the happenings of the lesser plane. Exceptional heroes were born, or powerful entities cultivated from ceaseless training and suffering. These mortals piqued the interest of the Primordials, resulting in direct interaction from those they were forbidden communication with. They were given blessings, protection, and sometimes even courted by these beings and given children, those of whom’s descendants roam about the universe. Genesis was furious at these developments, but could do nothing unless he reset the universe. Begrudgingly, these descendants of Primordials were allowed to live, and performed feats worthy of their Primordial ancestors. Immensely talented mortals, those who have either gained or are destined for powers beyond their mortal realm, are evidence of the Primordial ancestors. As rewards for reaching these heights, their Primordial ancestor bestows upon them their own weapons.

These weapons are made solely for their descendants. Like the original apparatus bellicus, the weapons are created to boost their handler’s magical capabilities by monumental proportions, yet they are still weaker than Genesis’ Armaments, only increasing their magic capacity by tenfold, for example. Thus began the creation and reputation of **Mystic Armaments**.

## Mystic Armaments

Originally known by their given name, the apparatus bellicus, *Mystic Armaments* are the strongest form of arms in the cosmos.

Originally idealised by Genesis and wielded by their many young in the other Primordials, Mystic Armaments would go on to empower the divine to unforeseen heights and ascend them to a status truly befit of their titles. Aeons later, the Primordials created by Genesis would themselves created Mystic Armaments as part of the *"Second Generation"*, and these arms would be passed onto mortals — typically heroes, villains or even the descendants of the Primordials.

### Obtaining a Mystic Armament

Mystic Armaments are reserved for the most worthy. Characters who have risen past their peers and ascended to heights unreachable by the general populous. Characters who have proven their devotion to their planet and their need to protect it, or have devoted themselves to the highest tier of evil, or have stayed completely neutral and shown their unwavering ability to tip to one side or the other. These traits, inherited by their Primordial Ancestor, along with their strength, must be at the highest calibre.

*In stupid words, you have to be super relevant, strong (like 1 trillion power level huehue), be able to use magic or an energy that is like it, and yeah.*

It is not a rigid requirement to be a descendant of a Primordial in order to obtain a Mystic Armament, however it increases the chances. If you are looking to obtain one without a Primordial descendant, you must reach a power level of **2 Trillion**, and must commit a deed so heroic so villainous, or so very neutral, that a Primordial would want to bestow you with a weapon. *(In other words Morde decides who gets it lol)*

### Benefits of a Mystic Armament

When using magic while wielding a Mystic Armament, the user’s power level is increased by tenfold, lest the weapon be taken from them or they stop using magic. However, that is only the most basic benefit of an MA. Further features can be unlocked by “synchronizing” with your weapon, becoming one with the Armament and releasing all of its potential by frequently using the weapon.

1. **20 Posts: 10% Synchronization**. The weakest level of Synchronization. A small aura surrounds you as you unlock more of your weapon’s power. The Armament now increases your power level by **×12** when using magic.
2. **45 Posts: 30% Synchronization.** The aura from before becomes more prominent, and forms a perfect circle around you and your weapon. The Armament increases your power level by **×14**, and you gain the ability to use your mind to attack with it, creating 2 on 1 situations.
3. **70 posts: 50% Synchronization.** Your MA aura begins to transform into whatever you choose, as long as it retains its circular shape and does not extend past 80 meters. You find that you can control the conditions of whatever is inside of your aura to a basic degree, forming the terrain to be compatible with your magic in small ways for instance. This also defends you from the later Synchronization effects of other Mystic Armaments, so long as it is held up. Your power level increased by **×16**, and you can now communicate telepathically with your weapon.
4. **100 Posts: 80% Synchronization.** Your MA aura is almost complete, revealing itself to be a domain unique to you and your weapon’s synchronization. Anything inside of your domain, you can control to a significant degree and set the conditions. Anyone who enters this domain has to obey these conditions, so long as they do not prevent the opponent from ever being able to harm you. Your domain takes whatever appearance you want. Your power level is increased by **×18**.
5. **125 Posts: 100% Synchronization.** You and your weapon have become one, and your domain is now complete. Anyone or thing that enters your domain will be harmed by a Sure-Hit effect of your choosing, with no way to defend, unless they cast the aura mentioned in the 50% synchronization section. You have immense control over the conditions of your domain, able to change its appearance and the location on the inside until it is cast away. Like the previous section, anyone who enters this domain must obey to your conditions with the applicable stipulations. Your power level is increased by **×20**, and you are able to use *Magic Evolution*, which combines both of your magic *(or all if you have more than two somehow)*, amplify them, and create a type of magic unique only to you.

```
**Notice**: *Second-Generation* (otherwise Artefacts made by the Primordials) do not affect *First-Generation* (otherwise Artefacts made by Genesis specifically). An example of this is the Synch. Domain; *Second-Generation* Armaments' domains do not impede wielders of *First-Generation* Armaments.
