Charnos

(a.k.a. Innovation/Change)

Charnos is an aspect of Rylis and a mental aspect. It consists of emotions and desire for change, innovation, novelty, originality, inspiration, independence, and spontaneity. Its counterpart Elbixur instead focuses on tradition, ritual, repetition, habit, loyalty and routine. Both are important in societies and social groups.

Racial Manifestations

When Rylis gifted all lifeforms with their magic, each life form was capable of receiving two gifts. Each of these blessings would grant the lifeform a connection to a specific aspect and this connection could be utilized in a given way. These gifts were passed down to their descendants as well and eventually beings came to call these gifts Racial Magic. These are named by the aspect a caster is connected to and by how they can use it, how they manifest their connection.
