Let There be There Light

Effect

• Stellar Manipulation

Users can manipulate stars, self-luminous celestial bodies consisting of super-heated gas held together by their gravity in which the outflow of energy balances the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior to the surface, and the inward-directed gravitational forces are balanced by the outward-directed gas and radiation pressures.

✦

The 1st Technique of this ability is called Star Empowerment where users massively amplify their own physical, mental, spiritual, and magical capabilities by a magnitude of ten (10). They can also use this technique to slow down the aging process and preserve themselves. Star Recovery is a crucial Technique used to mend the body down to a cellular level to help withstand the very act of using this Grace. Stellar Physiology allows the user to completely turn themselves into a being with the attributes and properties of a star. Such a form excels at both offensive and defensive capabilities in virtually any situation and environment.

✦

The final technique is the most important, The Creation & Destruction of Stars which, once mastered, makes the user like a deity. With the Creation of their own personal star, they possess the ability to maintain Star Empowerment and Star Recovery without exhausting their own Magical Energy reserves, anywhere, even in a place devoid of stars. Additionally, the immense power needed to create and destroy a star can be weaponized in a number of ways to create devastating applications.

• Thermal Manipulation

Users can create, shape and manipulate temperature, a form of kinetic energy between particles at the atomic or molecular level: the greater the movement of these particles, the greater the thermal energy and reversal. Heat itself is internal thermal energy that flows from one body of matter to another, it is not the same as the energy contained in a system—that is, the internal thermal energy of the system. Rather than being "energy-in-residence," heat is "energy-in-transit."

Side/Secondary Effects

This Inherited Magical Technique possesses one major side effect, that being the sheer power and reliance needed to wield it. Throughout the vast history of the Le Fay Dynasty, only six [6] have inherited it and only two [2] have wielded it with any skill to a considerable degree (Margred & Gawain Le Fay). The problem lies in the fact that this technique brings with it an immense amount of raw power that most simply cannot withstand. Improper use of it can easily burn the host up and kill them within seconds.

Source

The Original source of power for the Let There Be Light technique was the collective suffering and dream of hope that the Fearful slave races harbored during their long enslavement. It is believed to be, in a more logistical sense, the combined power from billions upon trillions of SOULs entrusted to Margred in the form of this technique. In the present day, one must be born of her lineage to stand a chance of inheriting it.

Discovery

The Avalon Realm was originally Hræddrfold, the Domain of the Fear-Eaters, beings who could gain immense power by feeding off of the fear and negative emotions of other beings. They were an offshoot of the Emotion Lords from Vanaheim who were content in their defilement. The Fear-Eaters combined unchecked lust gave birth to a comic metaphysical being, the embodiment of their sin, a monument to their profound and unceasing depravity. This Depraved God, THE VIOLATOR, demanded higher and greater forms of fear, anger, agony, lust, and torment to sustain itself, and any among the Fear-Eaters who could not feed the beast, would die. The Fear-Eaters would subjugate entire species and turn them into livestock to uphold their ever-expanding appetite, ironic that a slave race to a greater being would enslave other races to feed said being.

This great melting pot of species was known as the Fearful, little more than means to an end, and was fated to nothing of significance. One among the Fearful, a slave girl who named herself Margred, was the first to be born with this technique in all of recorded history, born from the collective suffering of her Fearful slave-kin, born of their desire to be free of the Fear-Eaters and THE VIOLATOR, a brilliant array of blinding righteous light with which the darkness of their existence could be pierced and a new future could be written. Margred rebelled against her oppressors and spoke thusly, "let there be light", sparking a great movement. Margred led a rebellion against the Fear-Eaters, one that saw their entire annihilation for if even one Fear-Eater remained, their thoughts of THE VIOLATOR would allow the Depraved God to revive himself.

Margred the First Mother-Superior of Avalon

Margred was the first to wield this technique and her blood still rules and wields it today. It was famously used by King Gawain Pendragon, Lord of the Stars who employed it to fight The Holy Order when they laid siege to Camelot and his Knights.
