World building
Creation:
The everlasting god of the universe created this world. In the beginning of time (the year 0), the god of the universe bestowed the title of God on six human leaders, each with a unique type of magic. They were in charge of keeping the world in balance. Each of the original gods was presented with a magic artifact and a connection to a spiritual animal.Magic systam:
This is a high fantasy world where everyone has access to the full power of one of the following elements: the sun (day), the moon (night), fire (summer), air (autumn), water (winter), or earth (spring). In this world, there are ranks of magic. The strength of one's magic helps one rise through the ranks.The ranks are:
- Spellbound: This is not a rank but a name given to all children under 18, as their magic has not fully been unlocked.
- Scholars: This is the lowest rank; it is achieved after passing the magic test that is mandated once a year for those who reach the age of 18. It is a test given to see what type of magic the young can possibly use, as until the rank of Touched, one can use more than one of the elements.
- Touched: This is the second rank given to those who show signs of great magic and pass the rank test At this rank, one must choose the magic they will continue developing; this will be their only element for the rest of their life.
- Enlightened: This is the third rank given to those who show signs of great magic and pass the rank test. For most people, this is the highest achievable rank.
- Prophesied: This is a demi-god rank; its people get chosen by the gods as possible successors. They in this rank serve as leaders of the different communities and as teachers in the schools.
- God: The magical objects and mystical animals associated with each element select the gods out of all those ranked as prophesied. They have prolonged lifetimes up to 200 years, but they can die like normal humans.
Uses of magic:
- Magic can be passed on to objects to serve their holder.
