Master Obu’s Dream
As Master Obu rests, his dreams begin to gently take form in his mind, providing a soothing and comfortable experience for the tortle.
You swim through an endless ocean, mystified by the simple beauty of the open water. As you descend further, you encounter inconsistent arrivals of life, such as fish, aquatic reptiles, aquatic mammals, sea dragons, and sentients such as merfolk & cecaelians. You notice a blue, ethereal aura emanating from some of these creatures.
As you get deeper, you come across large ocean cities, with structures built from coral & unknown materials native to the seafloor. You see flashes of merfolk constructing these buildings with the same blue aura that you saw before, transmuting seawater into solid building materials and replicating smaller samples of coral to create larger structures.
Finally, you see a flash of Akana, Elder Goddess of the Sea, swimming through the endless seas, wielding a golden trident infused with coral, shells, seaweed, and other bits of sea life. In the center of the three prongs, you see a glowing blue gem the size of an orc’s fist, with ethereal arteries carrying its energy throughout the trident. With a watery wave of the weapon and a blue glow in her eyes, Akana channels the power of this stone into the sea around her. It’s powerful glow expands throughout and transmutes massive whirlpools into solid pillars of unknown materials, creating entire settlements in the span of minutes. You see flashes throughout time of several societies worshipping Akana, along with several children of hers representing the various sentient races of the seas, including the tortle.”
Master Obu dreams continually of these things in a calm and constructive manner. As he swims through the sea, the lines of reality begin to blur into five distinct shades of the ocean:
- A blood-red sea off on the far left, representing the Rouzhai Aura. This is the domain of antimatter, the atomic opposite of ordinary matter. Antimatter can exist in the same phases as ordinary matter (solid, liquid, gas & plasma), but does not exist naturally in the mortal plane of Gaion. Gaioforce users of this aura can channel trace amounts of antimatter from the Thugoran Chaos & Rouzhai Gaiostone through their bodies and into the ordinary matter around them, annihilating it to release energy/plasma or corrupting it into an antimatter version of what it once was. Antimatter is incredibly dangerous and corrosive to anything made of ordinary matter.
- A golden sea to the right of the Rouzhai Sea, representing the Goultani Aura. This is the domain of plasma & ordinary energy in all its forms, which on Gaion includes but is not limited to thermal, solar, wind, sonic, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, chemical, nuclear, etc. (except gravitational energy, which is considered dark energy on Gaion).
- The same blue sea Master Obu has swam through in the center, representing the Blauri Aura. This is the domain of dark matter, a mysterious cosmic component of the universe that is rare to Gaion, with almost all traces of it found exclusively under the ocean. Dark matter can interact with and alter ordinary matter in magical & alien ways, such as completely transmuting one thing into another with no atomic similarities between the two objects. This gives this aura apparent reality-altering capabilities
- A green sea to the right of the Blauri Sea, representing the Garonis Aura. This is the domain of ordinary matter, the most abundant form of matter on Gaion. Since this makes up most of the known world, it is most familiar to Gaionians and can consist of telekinetic control of matter in all its phases (solids, liquids & gases), transmutation powers, and anything else the user could think of related to matter.
- A black, lifeless sea on the far right of the spectrum, representing the Daidrin Aura. This is the domain of dark energy, a mysterious cosmic component of the universe that is rare to Gaion, with almost all traces of it found exclusively on Cyregnor. Dark energy has only been observed in a few forms on Gaion, often referred to as forces of negative energy (cold, death, and gravitational/spatial energy). Teleportation magic, cold magic, necromancy, and general space magic are cornerstones of this aura.
