Magic was imbued into the world by Celestials choosing this planet to experiment with the concepts of the Yin and Yang and derivative trigrams and hexagrams. They picked a small location on the planet to infuse magic into the land, powered by a Spirit realm interfacing layer atop it, and modifying some of the indigenous peoples with magic.
Two magics of change were created:
- Trigrammatic Magic (colloquially known as “Sanctum Magic”) is the change represented by the 8 trigrams. A Starborne can have access to one or two Sanctum Magics. A Windborne can have access to one Sanctum Magic.
- Elemental Phases (colloquially known as “Talisman Magic”) is the transformational powers of one of the 5 phases. A Windborne can have access to one Talisman Magic.
Sanctum Magic
Trigrammatic MagicThe eight trigrams embody forces of nature and spirit creating Trigrammatic Magic. Starborne are born connected to this magic to varying degrees. Windborne can get limited access to this magic from a Talisman crafted with a Starborne.
