Spark symbiosis

"Men be warned! You will never develop enough fire marks for a spark symbiosis to succeed. Maybe you will stay alive if you try, but you will vegetate like animals."

Tika Ungo - Healer of the Safambi Order 4,353 BEC -

 

Disambiguation

The Spark symbiosis is the insertion of a Jinitamba into a Layikani as a symbiote to better utilize fire magic. This causes the Layikani to rise to the Layini.

Fire algae neurotoxin during use and against later rejection
by Blue Fairy 74
The spark animal should not be older than one year when used as a symbiont.
Layikani
by Blue Fairy 74
The symbiont is only used on female Layikani with many fire marks on their collarbones and cheeks between the ages of 20 and 30.

The 1st symbiosis

Around 7,450 BEC, Tiala von Halibiki, a Layikani, swam into one of the Jiwa lakes, where Jinitamba had settled alongside Ngiki algae. On that day the water temperature was less than 25°C and the algae were secreting neurotoxins from their flower tentacles. While swimming, the Layikani was stung by the flower tentacles, which caused the neurotoxin to enter her bloodstream and numb the skin around the port-wine marks, which attracted the spark animals. After successful symbiosis, the Layikani discovered that her fire magic abilities had increased, making her the first great fire magician of Layida and allowing a matriarchy to develop on Layida.

 

Fate of men:

Of course, male Layikani also repeatedly tried to trigger the symbiosis by bathing in Layid inland waters. However, since these have significantly fewer fire marks, the attempts have failed to date.

Process and consequences of symbiosis

Before a Layikani is chosen as a future Layini, she must have successfully completed her studies at the School of Fire Magic. In a solemn ceremony she climbs into a basin filled with water from a Layid inland sea and a temperature below 25°C. The high priestess of the Safambi order then releases at least three spark animals into the water and the Laykani is also injected with some neurotoxin from the Ngiki algae.

 
If the neurotoxin is in the bloodstream, the port-wine stains on the collarbone and around the cheeks are numbed. In response, the fire marks begin to glow, which attracts the fire animals. The fastest Jinitamba attaches itself to the collarbone with its tentacles, as this is where the greatest luminosity of the males is. Now the port wine stains connect superficially and a skin opening is created under the collarbone. The spark animal penetrates the skin and encloses the heart with its tentacles and tentacles.

 
When the neurotoxin reacts with the Jinitamba's digestive secretion, the skin closes again. The port wine stains are now connected from the collarbone to the temples by glowing red lines. In addition, the sparking tentacles of the sparkling animal grow from the Layikani's head.

 
After using a symbiote, the Layikani can no longer reproduce. In addition, their life expectancy drops from an average of 100 years to 70 to 80 years due to the symbiont.

Coole Idee eine Art natürlicher Reaktion im zusammen spiel von 3 unterschiedlichen Spezies zu erzeugen! Stellt sich nur die Frage - was hat es mit den Feuermalen auf sich - außer das sie ein sehr gute Lockmittel sind ^^

Vielen Dank für die interessante Frage. Was sich die elaqitanische Evolution dabei gedacht hat, muss ich erst noch herausfinden. Ich hoffe, ich kann die Frage im Artikel für die Spezies der Layikani beantworten.

This is a really interesting condition - It seems a high price to pay 20-30% of your lifespan for the power you gain, but I can see people choosing it.

Thank you - well, it's like with any magic - but 70-80 years instead of 100 is still a good age (at least for humans, even if this is a different species - learn more about it during Worldember 2024) - what wouldn't you do to gain power and maintain it?
