# Tech Level

The tech of Andora is known as magitech and is a newer innovation across the continent. Some regions have utilized this new form of technology to a much greater extent than others but there are still many things that have not yet been accomplished using this technology.

Other forms of tech we see in the modern world do not exist in Andora, or if they do it is in minute scales in very contained regions. The reason for other technologies not being present on a large scale is that magic has been used to face most problems faced by the inhabitants of the continent.

# Magic

Unlike the Tech level which is still developing, magic is widely used across the entire continent with modes of transportation such as teleportation spells being commonplace.

Magic works through channeling the Weave. The Weaver takes the raw potential from the InBetween and transforms it into the Weave. Beings may then tap into the Weave and use its power. The Weave’s energy when utilized by beings is known as Mana.

The types of magic that exist are Arcane, Divine, and Natural/Primordial. Arcane magic is when an individual utilizes the Weave through one’s own innate power. Divine magic involves the connection between two different souls. Natural/Primordial magic is linked to the Prime Material and other Planes of existence.

How does Antimagic work?

* Countering (counterspells, anti-magic area spells): Destructive interference. Expenditure of Mana to counteract another magical effect.
* Unavailability: An area unsuitable for Magic for innate reasons (not active interference). The Weave may be broken in the area or alternatively, it may be suppressed due to certain materials or warping in the local Weave.
* The Weave is broken in some way, perhaps from channeling it too much (Think: short circuits). Examples: intentionally sabotaged magic (spells, rituals), high level magic, ‘backlash’.

# The Soul and Resurrection

Every individual has a soul and as a person grows their soul grows as well. As such, the more powerful someone’s soul is, the more powerful they are. Beings with strong enough souls may eventually ascend to higher forms of power.

When an individual dies their soul leaves their current form so that it may reincarnate into the next. However, the soul has a lingering connection to its body and can be brought back a few times before the connection becomes too weak for the soul to return.

**AS SUCH, EVERY BEING CAN ONLY BE RESSURCTED THREE TIMES BEFORE THE LINK BETWEEN BODY AND SOUL IS TOO WEAK FOR THE SOUL TO RETURN TO THE BODY AGAIN.**

# The Divine Council

A council made up of 9 gods, with the Descendent as the head. However, it tends to be very distant, only stepping in when necessary. The council isn't necessarily "more powerful" than the other gods, but when a group of 9 other gods tell you to knock it off, you tend to listen. The council typically is thought to be the main "preservers" of the natural order of things, but each has their own personal reasons for having such a position.

The Members of the Divine Council are:

* Inala
* Moranthis
* Imesh
* Shiv’il
* The Descendent
* The Meticulous
* Toreth’on
* Kalaketra
* Kakl
