### Blessing of Preservation:

The Blessing of Preservation is the result of MP stagnation. When MPs stagnate, they automatically start to transform from inactive particles into a blessing. This means that the strength of the blessing is linked to the rate at which the object changes. Objects which change very slowly or not at all will continuously develop the blessing over time uninterrupted and the blessing will be strongest within these objects. For things which are perpetually changing, like the atmosphere or large open bodies of water, the MPs will have no opportunity to develop into the blessing and so these will not have it.

Living things & objects which have larger amounts of MPs within them, will also have a higher likelihood of a portion of those MPs being stagnant, this means generally, that those with larger amounts of MPs will have the blessing of preservation grow faster and stronger within them. Individuals with very little magical ability will typically not build up enough preservation within themselves to live that much longer than their normal lifespan would allow, but those who have higher magical ability will typically live significantly longer than the average, and there is a certain point at which the natural lifespan length of the individual and the strength of magical ability sort of reach a singularity point and the individual achieves immortality. These individuals though can still be harmed, though if one achieves immortality this way and then continues to live for hundreds of thousands of years or more, they can become virtually indestructible to most things.

This blessing of preservation is partially responsible for the extreme durability that the core structure of the physical worlds, since they have existed in their relatively stagnant state for countless generations and cycles. The phenomenon of those with more MPs within them causing stronger / faster blessing of preservation is the reason why many individuals born with high magical ability have stunted growth. It is because the blessing builds up too fast for their bodies to fully mature before the blessing overtakes natural growth, causing them to age too slowly and then stop aging even before they fully reach their species' age of maturity.

This blessing can undergo a transformation into a curse when the right trigger happens to one with the blessing. The way in which to trigger it is to change whatever the blessing is attached to in a negative / destructive manner. When something with the blessing is damaged or destroyed, the blessing gets released, or partially released and transforms into a curse, afterwards targeting the cause of damage / destruction. The amount of blessing which gets released is directly proportional to how much the thing it was attached to was damaged.

All things within the world of Oz Riius have a blessing of preservation bound to them by default. The way in which the blessing works is that over the course of time, the blessing becomes continually stronger. The blessing only transforms when the thing it is bound to is damaged or destroyed. At this point the energy within the blessing will turn into a curse and become bound to the thing which destroyed it. If the thing is damaged but not destroyed, a portion of the blessing's energy will turn into a curse but not all of it. When a thing is cursed it will have an overall negative effect be put on them, including bad luck, decreased physical and mental ability, aging faster, etc. The curse is dispersed across all these different aspects of the target, so for each aspect it only effects it a little. This is different if the thing destroyed another thing which had existed for a extremely long time and built up a lot of energy.

Note: Things which are less disturbed have their blessing of preservation increase at a faster rate. Less disturbed meaning not being touched, moved, damaged, or otherwise changed in any way. In addition to that, the strength of the blessing is proportional to the mass and volume of the object.
