Divinity

Divinity is the main component material of things in Hiraeth. Over time people started to notice the power that they gained while being in the world, this energy was called “Divinity” or better simply known as ”Magic”. The entire world is made out of Divinity, the trees, the clouds, and even the beings that inhabit the land. Divinity was able to be manipulated but over time it got broken down into things called Spells, these were the things that allowed beings to do things with their Divinity like create ice or shoot fire out of their hands and even heal limbs, Spells are learned from books called Sapience. Sapiences that host basic spells can be bought from shops and more complex spells can be found in the depths of Hiraeth, mostly from dungeons and auctions. However, these are not the only ways to learn new spells. Through intense training, talented warriors can develop their unique spells, though this process raises time and difficulty. Divinity is an important aspect of every warrior that has ever lived when someone uses all of their divinity, it could cause them severe exhaustion, render them unconscious, and, in extreme cases, lead to their death. it is common knowledge that everyone can use divinity spells to some extent. Some individuals are born with the ability to not use divinity at all, this is called a “Divine Exchange” and in turn for not being to use divinity they are blessed with an insanely strong and durable body that can’t be compared to most beings, they often don’t have to train and are naturally insanely powerful physically but often relying in enchanted weapons. Some users decide not to use spells but instead use what’s called “Raw Divinity” alone which is the divinity within a user. Depending on the users' divinity level it can be very very strong. When raw divinity is used it always has a burning or explosion effect when it comes in contact with other things, kind of like how fire melts ice. If the user condenses the divinity, it would explode from the force of impact and if they just shoot it out straight, it would just be destructive energy/raw force simply put if focused in a certain way, it could become high heat/break things down. The difference between “Raw Divinity” and “Pure Divinity” is that raw divinity is within a living being, that is all that said living being can manipulate while pure divinity is everywhere, in the air particles to the ground one walks on, this can’t be manipulated but one specific group has found a way to do so through an inherited technique.

### **Divine Transformations**

Arts are essentially a large-scale transformation that uses heavily raises user's divinity during a battle allowing them to access a new portion of power, essentially what someone uses their “Art” there is a massive change in form, appearance, nature. The boost in power for a transformation is always +20,000 divinity. After using Arts, the user will be unable to use half of their spells and their cooldowns are doubled for 3 turns but aside from all that each race has a unique transformation that is unique to that race only with various effects and changes. True art is the second stage of a transformation that can be reached from pure emotion alone while using art, most warriors don’t use this because of the risk of losing their lives and it’s insanely hard to gain if there’s no emotion for own to go off of, something like an ally dying mid-battle or a hardcore state of sadness or rage. If this state is reached the reward is great if the battle is worth it, with this transformation a “True Art” allows the user to gain full control over all of their divinity allowing them to use their normal spells tenfold. This also boosts the user divinity by 20,000 more. The user after using True Arts will be unable to use their divinity entirely for 3 turns. Click on the blue title to see the transformations.

### **Divinity Pools**

Manipulating raw divinity or utilizing spells consumes one’s divinity pool. The usage of divinity is recognized in percentages; each spell has an assigned percentage that is correlated to the power and scale of the attack. As one’s overall divinity is 100% but this can rise as you go up in tiers, for every tier you rise you gain 10%, for each spell you use you must reduce that 100%. When one’s divinity pool is completely depleted to 0% they may no longer use spells and they will experience severe effects such as exhaustion, fainting, and in extreme cases, death. Ex. The man cast a ball of flames, utilizing the “fireball” spell in his attack. The large flames incinerate many enemies while consuming 10% of his divinity, leaving him with 90%.

### **Measuring Divinity**

We use a system known as, "Divinity Level" or “Divinity Points”, to measure our character's particular strength. The use of divinity power levels is to get an estimation of how a battle will fare between twain opponents of known divinity levels. In general, if one has a higher divinity level than one's opponent, then they can defeat the other with the mostly weaker divinity power. For example, let's say that "Person A" has a divinity level of 10,000 and "Person B" has a divinity level of 5,000. "Person A" can most definitely defeat "Person B". However, the factors of speed, strength, and technique can also come into account when deciding the outcome of a fight. It should be noted that, when factoring in the edge a character has over an opponent, the difference in power levels as a flat number is apparently unimportant, but rather, the relative quantity or percentage difference between the divinity levels of the two combatants. In general, the divinity level of a regular individual in the land of hiraeth seems to fluctuate constantly throughout their lifetime. As a wielder of divinity , is equipped with a Base DP level & a Zenith DP level. The base level being a user's ordinary amount of divinity level. While the Zenith is the cap at which the user can not proceed without the use of a transformation. The only way to reach your Zenith SP, is to use an art, or to charge up for a total of 5 posts. (each post granting the user 2k to their character's DL) Each describing in great detail; their surroundings & charging process without disruption or movement while charging. However, remaining in Zenith for more than 7 posts, will cause your oc to drag & most likely fall unconscious due to exhaustion. The stronger & more powerful your character becomes, the more the Zenith cap will rise & the more you will gain for each charging post. divinity level is also used to measure a character's other statistical attributes. Such as: Speed, Strength, Endurance, Durability, & other aspects being your overall numerical quantity used to gauge your power, & divinity level being a part of all the other entirely separate stats that can be advanced by themselves. As you can have a DL level of over 50k, however your physical strength can remain Large Country status. Please click on the blue title to see the scaling of all this.
