Physio-Magical Anatomy

Every being capable of magic, from the ancient Fae-bornes to the short-lived Wardians, possess a similar yet different anatomy to those who aren’t capable of magic. In short, certain organs are altered at birth or conception allowing the being to perform acts with any strands of magia.

These organs, in case of Overflux, will be the first to show symptoms such as blocked vessels, hazy vision, vomiting and many others, including Magiakristallization as the end results just before death.

### Physio-Magical Organs

The first organ to take note is the Cerebris, the brain. It acts as the powerhouse of all other organs. The more refined and trained the Cerebris is, the more powerful the spells. This effect can be flipped, however. The more powerful the spell, the more likely one is to develop Overflux.

After that, there is the Cardiem, acting as the core of the blood vessels. Should the Cardiem be beating too fast or too slow, they will have a significant impact on the spells cast. It is better to keep calm and have a good, steady heartbeat.

Next is the Pulmoterium, the lungs, where the ambient magic of the world is taken into the body and contained. The Pulmoterium acts as a container, the more trained it is, the more magic can be used for longer duration. The intake of magic will also have some sort of impact should the lungs be damaged in any way.

Ocularia are the eyes, while not as important in terms of magic compared to the Pulmoterium, it is the organ that allows anyone to perceive the world and its magic. Should a mage be blind, they will need to find another way to see magic.

After that, there is the Ventriculium, the stomach. If the lungs are meant for magic intake, then the stomach is meant to expel unused magic. Should one’s Ventriculium be damaged or blocked, Overflux is very likely to happen unless they get rid of any excess magic by firing all of it immediately and seek help. Otherwise, death is sure to occur in the next few hours, if left untreated.

The Jugularia, the throat, is the part where any word-triggered spells are cast through. Users of Stygiom strand must train their throat to its highest extent to avoid rupturing their trachy.

Next is the Nerviculis, the nerves, which allows the mages to feel magic much like the eyes are used to see it. Essential and when damaged, the mage must find another way of feeling magic, either through technology or any other means.

Lastly is the Veiniem, the veins. They act as the transportation of magic through the body. Blocked vessels will cause Overflux near instantly, Magiakristtalizing the body part in question and resulting in imminent death, if left untreated.

### Physio-Magical Process

The process for a mage to utilize magia is rather simple, like the cogs of a machine.

First, there is ambient magic which the mage breathes in, filling their Pulmoterium. The magic then goes from the Pulmoterium to the Nerviculis and Veiniem, using the nerves as transport to the Cerebris and the veins to the Cardiem. The Cerebris acts as the powerhouse, building something like a blueprint, imagining the magic before it’s cast using the Ocularia as a base. The Cardiem, filled with magia, pumps the magic throughout the body. The mage then cast his magic, with the desired effect if done correctly. The excess magic in the body is then settled in the Ventriculium to minimize the risks of Overflux. If it was cast through words then the magic would be expelled through the Jugularia, instead of the Ventriculium.
