Magic Infusion

About

Magic Infusion is the act of a person using magic obtained by activating their Third Eye, and combining it with current technology/common items and elevating their use and purpose. This act is called 'Infusing' or 'Imbuing'. Many common folk don't have a grasp on how it works; higher class scholars or Magi may have base knowledge, and only those hand chosen by the Royal Family may get access to more information.

What is the Third Eye?

The term Third Eye references the God and Goddesses of Barhkh, and how they have a third eye on their forehead. Humans believe that this is a symbol of their holiness and their power, and that it is literal for the Gods- For humans with the ability, it is purely metaphorical, there is no third eye in which they can see from. There may be magical illusions or glow from advanced Magi's foreheads, but no physical eye.
All humans are said to have a well of magic within them, and only a select few are able to tap into this skill naturally. Some may train, though knowledge of how to tap into magic is heavily safe guarded by the Royal Family.

Utility

Magic Infusion as understood by the common folk, tend to be tied to the four base elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. These types of infusion are the most common, and seen all throughout cities with access to Magi.
Creating ever-lasting flames and light, windmills that can spin on their own when wind dies down, waterwheels that purify water that runs through them...Most of the technology used is often immediately interacting with nature. Most see it solely as magic, something that just 'happens'- but well versed Scholars and trained Magi of the Royal Family know that your body and soul go into the infusing.
However, there are whispers that in deep underground labs sanctioned by the royal family themselves, there are experiments being done to create living soldiers made of mud and rock.

Limitations

Magic Infusion, or Imbuing seems to be an easy task to those who watch the act occur. However, it is far more than clapping your hands and touching an object. The Magi is a key part of the equation, and must be in good condition for the spell to work. An incantation must be said prior to the ritual, and Magi are often marked in runic symbols, or have them sewn into their clothing to help the flow of magic. If a Magi or their supplies are in poor condition, it is likely that a burst of mana will occur in the element they were trying to channel.
Depending on how skilled the Magi is, an infusion may need to be repeated every five years, or every decade. Other factors may be the quality of material; a poorly made waterwheel may need to be infused every three years, but a well made one with runic symbols built in may last fifteen years.

Class Division

Unfortunately, due to the rarity of skilled magic users and the fact that many who awaken their magic are often taken to better cities and within the royal walls, magic infused items in the poorer sections of the kingdom are less common.
If a small town petition and raises enough funds, it is possible to hire a Magic Touched (commonly referred to simply as Magi from more educated persons) from the royal family or from a well off city, to come by and infuse buildings or items within the town for the townsfolk to use.

Trickle Down

The amount of knowledge an individual has, is entirely dependent on where they are in the social ladder. The Royal Family has the most access and information regarding magic infusion, and a close second are the Magi of the Royal Family. The Magi of the Royal Family (Royal Magi), have access to what they believe is the entirety of the knowledge of infusion magic; however some may always look for more.
In the middle ground, are Scholars. These folk have spent their entire life researching magic, the Magic Touched, and the Third Eye. They are always striving towards finding more information for the masses, or the Royal Family, if they are hired by them.
Commonfolk are at the very bottom of the rung. The lower class members of society may have a passing knowledge of infusion, or magic in general. However, most have no idea how the abilities work, and don't have the means to discover how.

Access & Availability

Magic infusion is an uncommon commodity. It is typically only available to the high-class. Though not common, low-class citizens with an activated Third Eye can create their own infused items.

Complexity

Infused items are typically not complex themselves, and their main complexity comes from a person having enough skill to channel their magic into the item.

Invention

The specific inventor of magic infusion has been lost to time. Many are unsure if the Royal Family have willingly erased it from history to keep specific information to themselves, or if there was just limited documentation. Many high-class scholars search for clues to the creator's life, to see if perhaps there were more secrets hidden within their notes. There has been little success. Some that dig too far seem to just...Disappear.
