Ihsyons, Ahlessians & Ketahlessia

## Ahlessian

Practitioners of magic, called ‘Ahlessians’ or simply mages, usually possess affinity to one or more strand(s) of magia. After affirming their affinity to a strand, they then fall under a sub-category of mages, called ‘arts’ or ‘classes’. Exodiviners, Daemonlocks, Ashenaugurs, Hexchantresses, Necroprophets, Inquisitheurgists, Gunsybils, Mendersayers, Thaumatriarch are some examples among many others. The art of a mage depends on their strand and current set of skills, in short, two Ahlessians could both have an affinity to neurovetaria but have different abilities. An example would be Necroprophets and Neurochantresses, they’re both Neurovetaria strand arts but the former takes control of the dead while the latter uses the living like mindless puppets, similar but still different. Those who haven't manifested any magic or are unable to are refered to as 'Ihsyons'.

### Magia Cultivation

Magic is a form of mastery, despite being commonplace, that most don’t even live to see a master in its many graces. Practitioners of magic, called ‘Ahlessians’ or simply mages, often cultivate their power. By honing one's body, mind and soul, studying their arts and mastering their craft, one could reach their physical limit and breakthrough. That breakthrough is called ‘Ketahlessia’, meaning someone reached tribulation and peaked in their current power’s threshold.

To achieve all that, first one must firmly understand Magic to its core and find the strand that resonates perfectly with them. There are 7 strands in total: Harkana, Stygiom, Mystika, Alchegaris, Neurovetaria, Scribealis and Sygil. Each of these strands then have sub-branches called ‘arts’ or ‘classes’ such as Exodiviners, Daemonlocks, Ashenaugurs, Hexchantresses, Necroprophets and many other different kinds of arts.

## Ketahlessia

Ketahlessia is, in other words, cultivating one’s own power to achieve greater strength. Fractirea has many ranks of Ahlessians, starting from the very bottom at ‘Ihsyon’ to the legendary, godly top-ranked ‘Seraphic Matriak’. Everytime a mage experiences Ketahlessia, they breakthrough to the next stages. Some may not reach high and others may obtain unfathomable strength.
