Arcryite Divination

# Arcryite

Millions of years ago, when the world of Syadaria was being formed, a meteoroid had crashed down, implementing itself within the deep soils of the world. This being also Antavia implemented in its soil. Not much is known of the crystal, only what it has done already. Fast forwards to now, this crystal would glow a bright blue, filling anyones gazes with temptation. This had led to the event of the crystal found in the cavern in the Ivory forest, laying just between merelia and Vicia where Vician miners were ambushed and dragged into the deep unknown.

Only two returned back to Vicia and told the stories of a terrifying creature that had shredded the team with ease. Their wounds were great, as they passed away eventually. Historic Documentarians had noted this story and continue to study this unknown source. Eventually the kingdoms of Merelia and Vicia managed to get their hands on this crystal in its purest forms. Though legend says that there are deep deposits underneath each corner of Antavia. Because of this, each kingdom relies along or near coasts or mountains. Some deposits were found, bringing back these crystals; a barrier was put up by this Arcryite source. The kingdoms were safe from attacks from what is known by these Terrors that plagues Antavia. Though people across have been finding lesser crystals, allowing them to bond with this source.

The radiation that was deep in the soil and to those due to crystals being under the city, people who are born within the city have some radiation from either crystal bonded individuals or have a small trace of Arcryite within their system due to having been born. People gain magic via exposing themselves to the crystals for a long period of time found around the world, the magic bonds to them and it selects which pairs with the individual.Arcryite Divination

## Arcryite Bonding:

Arcryite crystals are in 2 forms that have been traced around Antavia, each housing different abilities it gives off towards the individual. Because of this, Arcryite is a form of energy manipulation that is based on the manipulation of the natural elements. This type of magic is known for its versatility and is considered to be one of the most powerful and influential forms of magic.

The main element of Arcryite magic is the manipulation of the four elements – earth, air, fire, and water as well as other types. Each of these crystals has its own properties, and manipulating them can create powerful magical effects. The manipulation of the elements is done through a variety of methods, such as meditation, visualization, and practice. It is believed that the power of Arcrite magic is so great that it can even be used to create new forms of spells. These individuals are known as “Casters”

## Itus:

Itus is the life force or energy by which the Arcryite Crystal’s radiation gives off, these being for all things in both a positive such as the divinity of it. Casing with Itus will allow people with a single Arcryite connection to perform spells or be able to perform spells. It is the radiation by which the Arcryite gives off.

# Arcryite Connection Guide:

Though the Arcryite crystal has been formed onto the individuals in 2 different ways in order to obtain these abilities.

The first major type of Arcryite is in its purest form, a pure Arcryite crystal has been known within royal families or standing individuals across countries. Though not much is known regarding this pure form’s abilities.

The second major type is an Impure Arcryite, the most common known. This can be sold across markets for jewelry. Though, some people have been exposed to the crystal’s radiation for a long amount of time through meditation or being stuck near the crystal allowing them to be ‘bonded’ with the crystal. For that period of time, they were able to gain the abilities of Itus.

TLDR: Being exposed to the crystal for a long amount of period allows you to be connected to Arcryite magic.

* This **may be time skipped if needed.**
* **IF developing** it, you must wait **1-2 ooc days** to fully be bonded with the crystal.
* Though, rituals may take place to alter the outcome of the Arcryite BEFORE being exposed for a long period of time.
	+ *Ex. Placing the crystal in a high amount of heat, altering it to be a Pyroment crystal.*
	+ *Ex. Placing the crystal in a high altitude will give Aeroment.*
* Those who are already bonded with the Arcryite may not change magic due to the Itus radiation being sealed with the soul making them a Caster
* Casters must be at least **16 years old** to fully connect or to start learning magic.
* Individuals that are Itus strong, have either **2 options on casting.** They can carry the same Arcryite crystal that they connected with to produce a stronger flow of Itus.
	+ Without the crystal they can still cast, it will be a moderate or lesser flow of Itus being casted

## Stages

* Must start with beginner and work upwards on the stage
* Each stage unveils an achievement throughout their journey

### **S1: Initiate - Training:**

Beginner stage of summoning Itus, just recently connected with the Arcryite crystal. They may be able to perform simple spells, but their power and control over magic is still developing. Initiates tend to get exhausted quickly and can become ill from exerting too much Itus flowing through them.

* Small size of casts. Initiates are able to cast about the size of a snowball

### **S2: Apprentice - Desire:**

Second stage of Itus. Apprentices have learned the basics and are moderately more knowledgeable in their casts. They are able to hold longer within their spells and produce stronger spells. Now risen, Apprentice casting can handle casting for a long time before becoming ill if exerting too much.

* Medium size of casts. Apprentices are able to cast larger than a snowball, about the size of a soccer ball

### **S3: (Applications) Adept - Morals:**

Adept is a Itus caster who has mastered the majority of their spells but is the middle ground between fully understanding and perfecting their spells. Spells may be more stronger and flow able to withstand longer when casting.

* Large size of casts. Adepts are able to cast the size of a sedan car.

### **S4: (Applications) Prodigy - Meaning:**

A Prodigy is an individual who has completed their trials, becoming fully one with their magic and summoning. They have spent time studying and practicing and now are able to cast with ease even when under stress or strain. This is the awakening phase, they have uncovered the truth of themselves and now know how to control it to their bid.

* Mid-Largest size of casts. Prodigies are able to cast about the size of a single story house

### **S5: (STAFF ONLY) Arch-Prodigy  -**

Arch Prodigies are the strongest of them all, they gave everything and their souls to the Arcryite and Itus. These are rare to find in the public eye, most have been secluded or wiped out by unknown forces.

* Massive size of casts. Prodigies are able to cast the size about a football field

## Limitations:

### Metal -

Though magic abilities may depend on a certain type of metal, such as casting on a steel plate, it will cause damage as well as wear and tear depending on the plate. 2.

Casters may wear a limited amount of metal plate on them, not only to protect themselves but also allow them to use their ability at the same time. They are limited to leatherworks, and ONLY 2 pieces of steel plate.

* Each set of plates must be a physical form in order to protect your character from injuries; refer to what is regulated:
	+ illusions / casted armor (Fire armor) are not allowed.
	+ Casted extra limbs are not allowed
		- (fire made into a  fist throwing punches at someone, etc..)
	+ Any other forms of armor besides the regulated are accepted (such as gambeson etc..)
		- Alternative casted physical plates, such as a plant armor/ or ice plate must go through an application.

## Magic Restraints

Sleep is one of the important in regards to casting spells, dreams are connected to the Arcryite which can impact the outcome of how powerful or strong a spell may be casted. Hence why some casters may meditate in a secluded area or just a quiet place

1. Becoming ill/exhausted will weaken the spell drastically
2. To allow a natural flow of Itus, the caster must be aware but at the same time concentrated in their casting, which gets easier overtime of practicing or rising through the different stages
3. Casting doesn't need to be disrupted to cancel it out but the cast will become weak due to the lack of concentration.
4. To fully cancel the caster from casting, they would need to be unconscious or not awake. Or placing them in a nullified area from casting.

### **Other info**

* This is due to the subconscious becoming aware of what's going on to the other event(s), the mind multitasking.
* Location is a major limit as well, certain places will allow a certain caster to have an advantage; Casters who cast to make the area to their benefit do not apply.
* Same thing can be said to have a negative effect, the opposite of the casters' natural area will weaken or nullify their abilities in a different area.
	+ Ex. A Cyroment caster, having a boost in power in a natural cold area
		- This cannot be used as it isn't natural but more so modifying the area for them.
	+ Ex. An Aeroment caster being placed in a pressurized chamber.
		- The Aeroment caster would be unable to cast due to it being the opposite.

* Each spell has a cooldown of **10- 15 seconds, spamming the same spell is not allowed** and just not fun.
* Molecular changes do not work with Arcryite Divination casting, preventing from changing a color, genetics, etc..
