Outworlder

Each outworlder is summoned or pulled, usually against their will, from one world to another through the deep astral as a disembodied soul. In the process of being pulled, the outworlder "dies" and is reborn in the new world. While being reborn each outworlder is given racial powers that will help them survive in the new world, though one of those racial powers is always Astral Affinity.

Quintessence

Quintessence is a form of magical manifestation that takes the form of a pieces of a complete essence, with few differences. While they come in same varieties as essences (including confluence essences), they cannot be combined into a matching essence. A large amount of research has been done regarding this possibility, but has had no success.

Unlike Essences, quintessences are unranked.

They are mainly used in rituals and as fuel for magical items.

On Earth, quintessence is referred to as Affinity Gems.
Emir Bahadir

Emir is an adventurer turned into a treasure hunter. During his adventuring days he was in team with Rufus’ parents. After completing a contract heavily involving mud and a Duck Essence user, he decided to change professions.

Emir has midnight-black skin and dark woven hair with colourfull beads in it. He wears neat fitted outfits.

Around the beginning of the story he was hired to locate an Astral Space used by the ancient assassins order, the Order of the Reaper. He, in-turn, hired numerous bronze rankers to assist in the search, including Rufus’ team.

He fancies his Chief of his Staff Constance.

Emir has a Cloud Flask.

Giant Slayer

Title: [Giant Slayer]

Overcoming a much stronger enemy has left a permanent mark on you that can be sensed by others. This may trigger a fear reaction from the unintelligent and the weak-willed if your aura is significantly stronger than theirs. Your actual rank being lower than theirs does not diminish the effect.
Mana Tide

Ability: [Mana Tide] (Balance)

Special ability (recovery).

Cost: low mana.

Cooldown: 4 hours.

Effect (iron): Draw mana from the astral to replenish allies. Mana recovery begins slowly and escalates over time. Local dimensional conditions may impact the rate of recovery.

Effect (bronze): Allies affected by this ability increase their mana recovery by spending mana. The more mana spent, the greater the recovery increase. Abnormal local dimensional conditions may produce positive or negative side effects.

Effect (silver): When allies affected by this ability use powers that cost mana, the effect of those abilities is enhanced. Enhanced abilities will be affected by environmental factors.

Eldritch Imbalance

Ability: [Eldritch Imbalance] (Balance)

➢ Spell (drain, magic, channel).

➢ Cost: Low mana.

➢ Cooldown: None (channel).

➢ Effect (iron): Drain mana from the target for as long as the spell is channeled. Level of drain scales higher based on the target's current mana relative to their maximum mana.

➢ Effect (bronze): While being channeled, periodically inflicts [Mana Imbalance] on enemies with less mana than the caster.

➢ Effect (silver): Gain an alternate version of the spell that is instantaneous instead of channeled and inflicts a small amount of withering damage instead of draining mana. This is an execute ability, but the damage escalation scales with low mana instead of low health.

➢ [Mana Imbalance] (affliction, magic, stacking): Mana drain abilities have an increased effect on the target. Additional instances have a cumulative effect.
Mana Wellspring

* Transfigured from [Celestine] ability [Mana Integrity].
* Ongoing mana costs for maintained abilities are reduced. Resistance to mana drain effects is increased.
* When mana is not being consumed by an ongoing ability, mana regeneration for self and allies within your aura is significantly increased.
Hegemon's Dominion

## Interface Description

Item: [Hegemon’s Dominion] (silver rank [growth], legendary)

*The scabbard to Hegemon’s Will, Hegemon’s Dominion is the embodiment of hegemonic control, representing the hegemon’s mastery of his domain* (container, scabbard).

This item is bound to Jason Asano and cannot be used by anyone else. This bond allows the weapon to share the wielder’s ability to ignore rank disparity. This item is magically bound to [Hegemon’s Will]; they are treated as the same item for all magical effects.

Effect: Instances of afflictions affecting the wielder are periodically moved to this item, removing their effects from the wielder. This is not a cleansing effect. The rate of transfer is affected by the relative rank of the effects to the wielder. Suppressing the originator of the effect’s aura increases the rate of transfer; the wielder being aura suppressed reduces the rate of transfer. If [Hegemon’s Will] is sheathed, all afflictions are transferred to the weapon and affect the next enemy struck. Any effects resisted or subject to immunity are negated and cannot be passed to an alternate target.

Current rank: Silver.

Desolate

Essence Spotlight: Desolate (confluence)

The Desolate essence, like all confluences, is impacted by the essences that make it up, with the types of abilities it tends to awaken including drain attacks, debuffs and zone spells. Drain attacks include the usual health an mana drain, but Desolate specifically will often have an ability to drain aspects of the environment, depending on the essences that make it up. This is a distinctive traits of the Desolate confluence, where most essences enhance the aspects of the essences that make it up, Desolate often weakens them. Many Desolate combination involve the Death essence and are accordingly restricted. These combinations are usually characterised by the unnatural destruction its abilities cause. Other combinations tend to be related to natural forms of desolation, like deserts.

Examples

Plant+Hunger+Death=Desolate - a restricted combination, due to the Death essence and the fact that this combination can turn fertile land into barren earth, draining its vitality.

Sand+Wind+Sun=Desolate - desert combination. Mana drain, stamina drain, withering powers, giant sand worms, sand storms.

Ice+Earth+Wind=Desolate - a tundra-themed combination that might include wide area cold and mana burn abilities, possibly with summoning powers for wolf and fox type creatures.

Locust+Plant+Hunger=Desolate - a classic plague of locusts combination that desolates the landscape to grow in power. Not a restricted combination but one looked unfavourably on by local communities, due to the damage it tends to do the the landscape.

Locust+Blood+Hunger=Desolate - also a plague of locusts, but likes steak over salad. This combination is restricted, despite not including any restricted essences. Summoned locusts swarms are notoriously hard to control with precision, and a few loose gold-rank locusts with a thirst for blood encountering a village can go very wrong.

Craig Vermillion

Craig Vermillion is a greater vampire who works with Victor Tollman as protection against essence users. He also seems to be the only magical individual those in Hiro Asano's criminal area seems to know. He is a pale skinned, dark haired and narrow but sleekly-handsome featured, tall man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.
Clarissa Ventress

**Clarissa Ventress** was one of the three big crime lords of Old City of the Greenstone. She protected Sophie Wexler from Cole Silva's desire to possess her. After her cage fight against Fire Fist Lucian Lamprey joined Silva in the desire for Sophie and extracted a promise from Ventress to get Sophie.

A bronze rank essence user, her specific essences are never disclosed, but a variety of mannerism descriptions heavily imply she has the Snake and/or Venom essences.

A week after The Builder cult was purged from Greenstone, Ventress was found dead.

Her position was inherited by her bodyguard, Darnell.
Grand Renewal

Ability: [Grand Renewal] (Renewal)

Spell (healing, ritual).
Cost: Extreme mana.
Cooldown: 1 hour.

Effect (iron): Conduct a powerful healing ritual that cleanses all non-wound afflictions. This ability takes the place of the ritual’s material components.

Effect (bronze): The ritual circle is magically drawn, allowing the ritual to be more quickly enacted and in less ideal conditions.

Effect (silver): Multiple people can be healed in a single ritual, splitting the healing strength between them. The healing provided by this ability has a greater than normal effect at eliminating wound afflictions.

Leech Bite

Leech Bite (Blood)

Awakening Stone: The Feast (common).

Special attack (melee, drain, wounding, blood).

Base Cost: Low stamina.

Cooldown: None.

Effect (iron): Inflicts or refreshes the [Bleeding] condition. Drains a small amount of health and stamina when refreshing the [Bleeding] condition.

* [Bleeding] (affliction, wounding, blood): Deals ongoing damage by causing or increasing blood loss. As a wounding effect, this condition absorbs and negates an amount of incoming healing, after which this affliction immediately ends.

Effect (bronze): Inflicts an instance of [Leech Toxin].

* [Leech Toxin] (affliction, poison, blood, stacking): When [Bleeding] is negated, an instance of [Leech Toxin] on the target is consumed to reapply [Bleeding]. Additional instances can be accumulated.

Effect (silver): Inflicts or refreshes [Tainted meridians].

* [Tainted meridians] (affliction, poison): Subject's stamina and mana costs for magical abilities are increased. The effect of drain abilities used on them is increased. Bleed effects on them cause mana loss commensurate with blood loss.
Keeper of moments

The Keeper of Moments is the Great Astral Being that governs time.

Despite great astral beings being beyond comprehension, the Keeper of Moments cannot (as stated by Shade) interfere with, change, or otherwise interact with, the past. Supposedly, nothing can change the past.

Jason Asano seems skeptical on that particular front, thinking that The Keeper of Moments just never told anyone that he can manipulate the past.
