GaiaScript

GaiaScript is the form of magic that is utilized by any form of life on the Planet of Quintar

## Overview

Magic is the practice of utilizing oneself's connection to the planet to command nature or life for a variety of purposes. Each part of nature includes life energy that is basically the same as a life span. Everything in nature's life energy connects as invisible and intangible lines called the **circuit of life.** These circuits connect to anything whether it be a rock,beast,person,or even air as all nature elements of the planet contain a types of life force. People that utilize this power are called Mages,Wizards, etc and people refer to GaiaScript as Magic,wizardry,and Magecraft.

## Basics of GaiaScript

### Explanation

In order to cast magic the user must use a chant made of instructions while connecting to the world around via the circuit of life, these are called Command Chants. This chants are pronounced in an ancient language used only for chants and runes and thus is known as the language of life. **EX: For a fireball the command chant would be (fuel flame,concentrate,ball shape,track Finger/Wand, Launch).** The complexity of the chant is also based on how strong your circuit with the targeted element is as if the circuit is weak the commands are simple and limited but for stronger circuits you can create complex spells. The strength of your circuits depend on the person individually but can be refined and grown with meditation and training.

### Affinities

Affinities can also be substituted with the word specialties. These basically describe the strongest circuits for the individual, one such example would be family,friends,pets,and items that are important to the user. The more you connect to something the higher your affinity and stronger your circuit will be that allows for a more complex manipulation with chants and runes.

Beyond normal and common affinities exist the kind that break the normality these are known as deviant. Deviants are affinity circuits connected to normally intangible targets such as air,cold,heat, and even beyond that with gravity,light,space,and time. It is only possible to form a deviant circuit at birth or in the ages 1-11 as your life force is fully defining itself, this makes the appearance of deviant mages extremely rare and the most valuable of resources since it also means they have a connection to life much deeper than the average person’s.

### Levels of Mastery

At the most novice levels you can create effects such as weak telekinesis, ignition, and reinforcements. The range of casting is also quite small being only around the size of a home and more experienced mages can even overwrite your own spells with their own even with the same command chant being used due to stronger circuits. At a level higher a mage’s range significantly increases from house to the size of a modest park. This level also brings more range of commands and makes simple commands stronger. The highest levels reached in magecraft/wizardry grant incredible range being able to effect entire towns and beyond aswell as overall increase in effect strength and complexity but at this level mages are skilled enough to start making Runes out of Life force which speeds up casting by a large margin while keeping and growing the complexity of spells. The higher class of mage one is the more they can effect in nature but eventually even come living creatures as it is much more difficult regardless of your circuit strength and requires talent and skills but due to the rarity of this ability it is highly respectable to be in possession of this skill.

## Casting Methods

There are 2 ways to cast GaiaScript, Command Chants and Runes. As already explained command chants are using ones circuit to connect with a target and give commands for different purposes but require time as it has to be said.

The other type of spell casting is runes, saved specifically for talented mages it is the ability to shape one's life force into command symbols which are activated immediately and makes casting faster and allows for more complexity and power due to the use of life force. As rune crafting is difficult to learn it is common for runes made by blacksmiths to be inscribed into their objects for use by whoever wields the object simply but creating a circuit with the inscribed target.

## Difference Between Races

Due to the importance of Life Force, races that have increased lifespans work differently. Races such as elves due to their double lifespan has double the life force and therefore have stronger circuits but has more trouble with specialty/ Affinity circuits as they are balanced with all their circuits. On the other hand races such as DemonBloods have increased affinities for the prized ability of affecting other’s bodies thus making them quite valuable especially in the medical field but in exchange their other affinities are usually weaker than average.
