Regional Magic and Dominion

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

On Sel, the different Magic Powers are all of Devotion and Dominion. They are also all Regional Based. The definition of Dominion (According to Google) is sovereignty; control. And the territory of a sovereign or government. I Think that's why all the Magics are Regional Based. All the Aons in AonDor look like the Country of Arelon. When the Chasm came, they all changed. I believe Shai said that Forgery looked like MaiPon? 

 

Dominion is Behind this. If Arelon were to Conquer, say, Duladel, they would have to Increase the Mountain Line of their Aons to Match. But then their Aons would be full strength in Duladel as well.

An interesting thought... The AonDor is born of the combined power of Devotion and Dominion - I wouldn't be surprised if it is the part of Dominion that controls that.

 

I suspect it is due to the cognitive perception of these borders that make the magic dwindle.

 

I am wondering though - how useful does this make magic in wars? DakHor (Is that it? The other magic system?) doesn't seem limited by where it is practised, and neither is ChayShan? Hmm...

There are active abilities and Passive abilities. The Passive abilities are activated once, in your country. Then they stay active forever. (Or until death) But an activated ability, like Aon Daa, Raodan's Magic Gun thingie, has to be activated on the Spot. So If you know the Right direction to Aim, you could use Daa to Snipe out of Country.

 

DakHor is mainly Passive, Increased Strength and Speed. But Chaysan, Huh. The Practitioner(Can't remember his name) did say that he was better at home (I Think?)

You might find this theory to be of interest.

Everything in KChan's theory that Weiry linked is fantastic, and covers the majority of anything useful I might have had to contribute to this conversation. I really am jonesing for that theory index I proposed when there are such great theories and discussions I haven't seen!

Ugh. Thank you Weiry. I spent half an hour searching for a Similar Theory before I posted this one.
