Avatars are a theory of magic developed throughout history by powerful mages throughout of Aesalia. Inspired by the mighty deities of the Ederic Pantheon  mages argued that through arcanum and the right ritual binding a being of raw magic could be created matching the gods themselves in power and strength. As such the mer would be able to challenge deities in power with the Avatars bound to their creator much as an elemental would be.
Avatars are considered extremely heretical by most organised churches and their research strictly forbidden. This has aided in the slow and minimal research existing in the field with best estimates requiring inconceivable amounts of Arcanum and the binding unlikely to control the being.
The most developed theoretical Avatars are:
Avatar of Death: The most developed form due to Lichdom of Morilliseum's lack of regulation and restriction the Avatar would be the embodiment of necromantic magic creating an enormous being of death capable of dominating the world.
Elemental Avatars: Proposed increasingly by estranged Transmutation and Evocation magi the elemental avatars are made from raw magic in the style of one element in the same way a firebolt is of fire.
Avatar of Foresight: Theoretically outlined by Archmage Eladora of the Imperial Academy of the Arcane as a ‘satirical attack on the absurdity of Avatars’ this being would be able to perceive all events as they occur allowing its controllers to predict and respond to any and all threats before they happened.
