MAGI LORE
Magic throughout this world is a little complex, mainly for us who don't understand magic in the first place. This is a document explaining as much Magi Lore of Corrupted Destiny as we can possibly fit, and will always be updating/changing throughout. If you are curious to the mechanics of this realm, please enjoy the following compiled list of information! Feel free to ask questions!!!
GENETICS
Basic magic currently works through the form of genes. Magic is genetically passed down from family member to family member. This is a result from the Deities who created each individual species, as they stored Magi within the soul or the body. As a result for most species besides humans, Magi is channeled and projected through mental usage. This accounts for Fae, Demons, Angels, and Vampires. The rules of this genetically transferred magic follows:​
​
​
RULES OF GENETIC TRANSFERRANCE:
​
-
The power type remains very similar for all family members. For example, a father has pyro abilities and a mother has cyro abilities. The child will have either cyro or pyro, and on the rare occasion will possibly receive a mixture of both.
-
There are extremely rare cases of generational jumps. For example, Angels being born with an ill omen. Their parents may not have dark magic, however a long long time ago an ancestor procreated with a demon, which hopped down generations.
​
-
-
The offspring of the magic type parents can NOT have the exact same powers and abilities, as they always will be within the same power type but will never have the same precise abilities. Each power is typically unique to their own. For example, a mother with cyro abilities is able to cause icy snow. However, her child is able to raise ice shields.

GLAMOUR FORMS:
Glamour forms are appearances of the character that fit within the mortal society. Basically, this means all of their supernatural attributes disappear to create a far more human-like appearance. This ability is automatic for the vast majority of species (unless you choose otherwise!) as before the corruption began, Supernaturals had to hide themselves in the eyes of humans. Many claim this was the last gift their gods gave them, an ability to seek refuge in another appearance. It is super beneficial from that aspect, but also to try and hide yourself from other Supernaturals!
​
Please note that even though their attributes are invisible, they are still present on the body!
​
As for those born without a glamour form, most typically do have an item designed by a Witch or Warlock that allows them to glamourize themselves.
SENSING:
Sensing is quite an interesting way that Supernatural's detect each other's presence. This is a result of the Magi coursing through their soul or body, permitting them to sense another Magi source. This is typically used by most Supernatural's for a wide variety of reasons, although there are quite a few limitations to this ability.
​
​
LIMITATIONS:
​
-
Sensing is not precise and exact. Most of the time you can sense the presence of another being, however for example if it's in a crowd, you cannot pinpoint their location. Instead you are made aware of their existence.
-
Another limitation is that you cannot know exactly what subspecies, or even sometimes species, you are interacting with. Sensing only allows you to tell there is Magi flowing through them. The more aware a Supernatural is with their Magi, the more capable they are with differing different species from others through sensing. However this is typically a rare trait. (You must input it into your passive traits on your character sheet if you would like to have more advanced sensing.)
-
Glamour forms typically lessen the amount of Magi flowing through them, which in result makes it much harder to sense their presence. This can even be enhanced by items in the shop, such as Magi concealers.
This may continue to be updated/examined, so please be aware of updates!​
AURA HIERARCHY:
Aura hierarchy is a method of dominance within the demonic, vampiric, and angelic communities. The Fae do not have an aura hierarchy. Aura Hierarchy is when a species uses their Magi from within the body or soul to overpower another of their kind. This forms ranks within those species, which are typically divided up by the subspecies. Aura hierarchy is unique to each species, as it cannot influence a species outside of their own.
​
For example, Demons cannot have an aura hierarchy over vampires
The feeling of an Aura being flared is much like that of a sudden intensity of gravity. The higher the
rank of said species determines the intensity of the gravity upon the lower rank. Remember consent is key in roleplay, all interactions between characters should be discussed OOC.
​
Below we have put together a list of the species ranks to be visualized. Please do not use these as concrete set in stone, as it may change depending on the situation. However, this will help guide determining the outcome. They are ranked highest (1) to lowest.
