Notable Races

## Humans

Humans are from the same common ancestor as Aeltherians, humans have strayed away from the pure form of mana that Aeltherians use, so about 30% of humans can use mana, while the other 70% have no active connection, or not enough of a connection to use magic. While all humans are born with a soul and alterpath, not all of them are able to use mana for combat or daily life.

## Aeltherians

Aeltherians are from the same common ancestor as humans, but they have a deeper and purer connection to mana, meaning that they are physically superior and more of them have magic compared to humans.

Aeltherians will have a few defining features, some will have elf-like ears, while some will have faster hair and nail growth due to their better connection to mana. Some of the more rare traits are different colored eyes, taller than average humans.

## Anx

Anx are a mix of a human and an Aeltherian, they have a closer connection to magic, not as much as full Aeltherians, but they are able to use magic more effectively. Anx share defining features with both humans and aeltherians, such as elongated earlobes or more hair due to faster growth

## Maluchytes

### Normal Maluchytes:

Necrozmic reincarnation is the process in which a human becomes an maluchyte (pronounced malachite [ˈmaləˌkīt]). Maluchytes are a theoretical perfect evolution of humans which are much more powerful than the average person. They possess great strength and intelligence, as well as an unmatched healing factor. Through the process of necrozmic reincarnation, they will bind with the corrupted mana as their soul overtakes their entire body, reforming it into a maluchyte. Once the process is completed, the corrupted soul should have spread throughout the individual, transforming their genetics and mind. Artificial maluchytes are known to be much more violent and generally evil than normal humans, displaying unusual levels of hostility. Reasoning with them is impossible. This is because the corrupted morals that drove them to necrozmic reincarnation are magnified when the process is completed. Maluchytes are able to expand their souls mana capacity through soul immersion, a process which involves a maluchyte killing another human or maluchyte, and absorbing the individual's soul flame into theirs. All maluchytes can do this and it is only possible for individuals with corrupted souls to perform this act. Once a soul is absorbed, the maluchyte gets stronger in an amount equal to the magical strength of the individual they killed.

### Royal Maluchytes:

Royale maluchytes are a form of maluchyte that are born, not created through necrozmic reincarnation. While royale maluchytes process the same genetics that give them perfect physicality and allow them to manipulate black mana, they are not corrupted by their souls in the same way that artificial maluchytes are. This means that royale maluchytes are capable of emotions such as empathy. While most royale maluchytes grow up in an environment that prevents them from ever developing these traits, some have been known to break away from the cruelty of maluchyte society and carve their own path of peace (Himata Jitoura is the best example). Royale maluchytes are able to utilize unique kinds of mana casting. While artificial maluchytes utilize the abilities they possessed before they became corrupted, royale maluchytes have are born with unique abilities known as the four demonic arts. These abilities are born from perfect control over mana, and can be exercised without the use of mana circles. The deep connection that maluchytes have with mana allows for them to utilize these abilities. They are listed as follows.
