Ithkor

(a.k.a. Rot)

Ithkor is an aspect of Dalyeric and is a physical aspect. It revolves around fungi of all kinds as an ever present, whether we realize it or not, and an essential mechanic of nature many lifeforms relay on to function. The same could be said for its counterpart Beranok, electricity. Fungi, whether it be mold, mushrooms or microscopic spores, play a vital role in every ecosystem. It breaks down organic matter for re-use alongside other forces, it facilitates communication underneath a forest floor and cycling nutrients in an environment. Humans have even come to use it in processes of food production, medicine and culinary spheres. Also much like Beranok, Ithkor in extremes or uninhibited can be dangerous and destructive, quickly taking things too far. Balance for this element is important.

Racial Manifestation

When Dalyeric 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.
