Magic

## Overview

All magical practices or the usage of entropy come in the form of sigils. Maji are people able to understand these sigils. They even have a natural connection to them almost as if they speak to the user. Maji form and draw these sigils in specific ways for specific uses and effects. These sigils are chaos in the form of order and structure which is the only way lower beings can understand entropy. However these sigils are just part of a larger powerful force called Khaos which is the natural form of these sigils and a force that can’t be understood by lower beings. The sigils were created by the Primes, a dimensional and reality fearing race. They seemingly travel the cosmos in an attempt to understand the universe and solve all its mysteries. When they came upon Khaos they sought to learn its nature. They spent eons and they even created the sigils but they never could control or understand Khaos at its purest form.

They decided to conduct an experiment. They grew a Chaos Seed and planted it on a chosen planet to see its effects on life. The chaos seed infected the world with chaos. It would forever change the planet’s evolutionary directory and destiny.

In current times maji are individuals of any race that can use these sigils for many different purposes. The ability to use and understand the sigils in a genetic gift passed down hereditarily. In the beginning there were many maji but as people spread, genetics began to change and soon the gene that allowed for control of entropy began to fade. This caused technological advancements in the east. In turn magical practices began to shrink as well as the maji population. However Ganha is still known to be a very magical place as the land is the origin of life and where the chaos seed was planted.

In history maji usually served as high ranking members of the many societies. Revered and sometimes even worshiped as gods during the Age of the Scattering. However when the Emperium took over most of the known world, they began to consolidate their power by taking all maji and trained them under their Maji Order.

After the fall of the Emperium the Maji Order stayed within what used to be Emperia, now known as Unity. The Maji order now served as ambassadors and protectors but it soon became apparent to many that they had just turned from tools of the Empire to tools of the Unity. And in the end they were still pawns to the powerful and rich.

## Terminology

**Khaos:** A chaotic powerful force of energy that makes up Entropia. The Primes are attempting to find a way to harness and control Khaos. They are conducting an experiment with the planet Terra Earth. It is described to be a formless, amorphous force that can be anything and do everything. It is considered to be pure potential.

**Khaos Sigils:** The Primes attempt to harness and control Khaos by using the Khaos Sigils. These sigils are Khaos turned into a form of unity and order by making it a language. This is also the only manifestation that lower beings can view and understand Khaos

**Entropia:** The reality that Khaos originates. This realm holds many terrifying eldritch creatures. This plane of existence is chaotic in nature and nothing can really exist inside it. Once the beings of this realm leave Entropia they take terrifying forms. (Entro-pia)

## Scribe

This refers to a piece of technology that imprints khaoos patterns and sigils into itself for later use. This allows for a maji to conjure complex patterns and sigils quicker and easier by just using the imprinted symbol within the scribe compared to having to draw it out by hand. However this method is dependent on a mana crystal to power the scribe instead of powering a maji directly to increase their power and ability to conjure more powerful sigils like with handwritten style.

## Mutants

Mutants refers to anyone who's physiology is altered my sigils. This is a band practice in terra earth but many still serectly practice it. One example of this is Durrak who's father ordered his shamans to created the strongest ork as his son. In turn the shamans altered Durrak's body within his mother's womb and infused him with khaos sigils for strength and power.

## The Process

When a maji uses a sigil they either draw it out in the air or use a scribe to quickly conjure it. Patterns and some sigils require a lot of power which is often drawn from mana crystals. Once conjured the sigil's effect will take effect. Most sigils have a limited use and after enough use it will dissipate. There is no permanent sigil so any sigil with prolong use like warding or portal sigils will have to be redone eventually.

## Mastov's Three Laws and Banned Practices

Mastov's three laws dedicates that no sigil can alter reality, break the space time barrier, and allow immorality. Some banned practices include mutation surgeries which is the process of altering one's physiology. This was banned due to its dangerous and hight outcome that the process will fail and cause gruesome mutations. In general the process is extremely dangerous and only successfully done 20% of the time.
