There are 3 fundamentals to the magic system. The first is Awa. the power of the gods is known as Awa. awa means to take power and use it to shape the world. It also means the power its self. It also means the memories that someone has about something. Lastly it means the stories that are told about something.
awa is naturally drawn to objects that have lots of stories about. for example the throne of a monarch could give the person who sits upon it the power to appere superior and have anyone who hears them speak from the throne imidiatly bow down to them.
awa's affects are limitless. the only limit is ones imagination. there are 3 main schools of thought on how to use awa though. the first is by using power words. these are simple one or two word things that once said will produce the exact result that you said. for example if you said powerword fireball all that would happen is a ball made of solid fire would appear somewhere but just hover unless you also said to it to move in a cirten way.
the second school of thought is tarot divination and power. how this works is that the mages have a tarot deck with numerous cards. each card can be used to either divine the future or to produce a specific effect. most mages in this school of thought have several decks as the cards will only work if they are randomly drawn and shuffled. the more random the pull the more powerful or acuret.
the 3 school of though is transferring awa. how this works is that awa naturally heals the body and if it is drained to quickly could be used to harm the person. what happens is that these people are able to rapidly drain awa into themselves and gift it to someone else or hord it for themselves. most in this school of though also are part of another school though they don't have to be
The second fundamental is the anari. All anari(humans who were given a splinter of anar) are able to teleport around to any place that they can see. The only exception to this is if they try teleporting away from someone who is draining anar or awa from them. Anari also select a marking when they turn 16. Once their marking is chosen they begin to do several things. First they begin to take a generate amount of awa every day. Secondly they begin to grow significantly taller than an average person. Thirdly their muscles grow in mass, strength and hardness. They are blessed with the ability to never loose the size of any muscle mass that they gain over their life. Fourthly they also have a much better metabolism and immune system preventing them from ever getting fat or sick. The result of this is a taller insanely muscular person who is much stronger and faster than most mortals and never gets sick.
The third fundamental are the songs. The songs come in 3 parts. The songs of war, the songblades and the songweavers. The songs of war are powerfull things made from pure awa that had been condensed into their shape. Songeblades are powerfull weapons that have the power to destroy the monsters that inhabit the world. The songweavers are a group who are able to use the awa in their songs to activate their true potential.
If an anari gets a song then they are also able to unlock the true potential of the song without any of the safety measures that are in place to prevent the songweavers from becoming too powerful.
