Primordial Magic (LWA Ragnarok Tetralogy)

**Primordial Magic**, also known as **Godslayer Magic** due to capacity to destroy celestials, is the mysterious form of magic that came to being alongside Yggdrasil Magic and Dragon Lines Magic when universe was born. It is characterized with its spark-like energy that bright gold in color and the eyes of the user that glow in fiery gold with four pointed star-shaped iris and blackened sclerae whenever he/she calling forth that magic(though the glow was dimmed if the magic still recovering from events that crippled it like Dream Fuel Spirit).

Primordial Magic possesses several characteristics which made it different with other forms of magic: The first is sentience and link between bearers of the same power. When a band of members of Acolytes of Nidhoggr killed a bearer of Primordial Magic in order to use it as weapon of mass destruction against Witch Community, the magic retaliated by killing them and destroyed an entire city by accident. As this happens, other bearers of the same magic feels the disturbance resulted from the said event. Other proof of its sentience is its ability to project an avatar of itself to directly interact with its host and their surroundings as well as communicating with others via telepathy. It also possesses the ability to adapt and evolve to become stronger so it can survive events that threatened it and its host's well-being. For example, Akko's Primordial Magic become immune to magic-absorbing powers due to enduring the contact with Dream Fuel Spirit albeit scarred that it took 10 years for the power to recover. Lastly, this magic seemed to be able to reincarnated into another host if its current host died:
According to Tannis, when a bearer of Primordial Magic dies, his/her Primordial Magic will re-coalesce into a new host. Normally the said new host would be the descendants of the former, but if its host died before able to bear a child, it is forced to move into a random host instead. An example of this is the Primordial Magic of a boy who murdered by Acolytes of Nidhoggr which, after retaliated against its host's killers and causing Tunguska Incident, moved into the body of a witch who lived at Moscow. Primordial Magic also carries its previous hosts' experiences and memories with it, which allowed its current host to tap on abilities mastered by his/her.

Like Pomokai Holoholonas, users of Primordial Magic magic possesses massive reserves of magic energy which allowed her to cast magic in Ley Line-free areas.

## Weaknesses

In spite of its great potential, usage of Primordial Magic is not without its risk. As observed in case of Akko, bearers of this magic had to undergo intense and rigorous training of the body to prevent the raw magic from strain him/her whenever he/she called upon that power: When Akko attempted to forcibly summoned her Primordial Avatar after contact with Dream Fuel Spirit when she was 6, the unstable Primordial Magic greatly harmed her that she went into coma for weeks. Even after undergo physical training until she reached the peak human level (both during her rehabilitation and Valkyrie training), Primordial Magic still put intense stress on her body where the stress she described as feeling pain in every cell of her body which increases the longer she used that magic. She initially only able to use it for around one minute, but once her Primordial Magic recovered enough for Veth to reunite with her host, the stress from using the magic drastically lessened that she can use it much longer: During the fight against Croix and Inferno Rods in One Shall Rise, she can use it around 15 minutes, though her current time limit as of now actually much longer albeit less than one hour.

Akko's Primordial Avatar later named herself after the witch's upon gained enough strength upon reunites with its host.
3. During the First Ragnarok, there are two people identified as bearers of this magic: One is a princess and another is a witch who implied to be Akko's ancestor. In the princess' case, she used her powers to heal the villagers with her father used her abilities to take profit from it. It wasn't long however, a war took place and the princess was kidnapped, but rescued by another faction where she married the leader and had a child.

7. Tunguska Incident: Acolytes of Nidhoggr captured a boy who bore this magic and extracted it to weaponize it against witch community. The boy immediately killed once extraction completed, but the power broke free and destroyed those who did harm to host, causing the Tunguska Event. While this resulted Primordial Magic within other users evolved to the point of extraction become impossible, surviving Acolytes, including young Haggar, deemed bearers of this magic as affront to their existence and goals. Their genocidal campaign against bearers of this magic, alongside Hodag Holocaust, provoked the second Witch Hunt where normal humans and witches were ordered to kill the Acolytes on the spot, resulting members of the coven being massacred and pushed to the brink of extinction.
8. An ancient Greecian tablet mentioned a young girl named Pandora who used a power similar to Primordial Magic to destroy the Gods of Olympus.
