Lore / Gift of Creation ; Part 0.2 - 0.8

• Progress of Meority along the Gift of Creation

There are constant rules imposed by the Existence, some we know through centuries of discoveries, and some we still need to uncover. With each discovery we understand more, and with more understanding we gather about reality – the easier it is to grasp what and how we can transform, be you Engifted or not.

Meora granted the Knowledges to our first ancestors when they were born into a new world, so we could proceed and prosper without Her. Sadly some were lost or alternated during first Crumblings and Primal conflicts. We left motherless and scared, diving into superstition to soothe our fears and privation, distorting what we knew about reality to make it feel like we control it. And of course, Engifted would prove our fallacies through wonderful powers they exert.

Overdependence on miracles manifested by the Gift was hindering our technological progress and impeding understanding of this world through most of the Age of Crumbling, but bits of knowledge discovered in remote neighborhoods, shared to each other and eventually gathered together created a full view of what really is and what is just imaginations of Engifted contrive. In time it was not just Meority which progressed technologically, but Engifted possibilities were elevated as well.

One big question still stands after all this time: do we understand the reality as it is, or do we understand the reality which was designed for us by our Allmother?

• Classification

Through benefaction and permission of our Allmother on whose body we live and to whom our lives are beholden, The Gift of Creation can manifests its miracles in various forms, sometimes not easy to abstruse or comprehend, especially when they are originated from highly-vehement Engifted, but by the wisdom of Herquisitorial Supreme Council of Her’s a simple type-classification was devised: to streamline understanding of common and major groups of miracles.

• Channeling

The most basic way to understand, classify and consciously use own Gift. Envisioning an act of worldbending upon the world you sensate and casting it forth into reality. It all depends on what an Engifted desires and can truly perceive in her mind in most perfect detail. Hence concentration and reaction are significant qualities for an Engifted: a full control over own body and mind when emotions and senses can easily become mental distractions, severing a thought and prevent miracles from unfolding, but as much they can become a catalyst that veils vision with a fright imagination – an unfinished though can lead to wrong results. In most cases the reality heals itself when Engifted meddle with its nature... or is it Meora rectifies mischief of Her children? Yet in cases of faulty miracles it is better if nothing happens at all when Engifted can burn a wound on actuality.

Although power is not unlimited, as much as range at which Engifted can deed a worldbending: the Channeling is still partially a physical process of a dynamic brain activity, which burns a significant amount of one’s body’s energy, but the greater one’s Gift – the further and easier are borders of possibilities. Low-grade Engifted require greater continuous concentration, knowledge and visualization to create miracles – a process which boring and tiring mind; mid-grades can show greater results with concise effort of thinking and less sensitivity to distractions, although more effort will bring even better effects as well as more knowledge of natural and physical laws will carry more flawless miracles; high-grade Engifted need not to understand how the world exist, nor they need to indulge in detailed imagination – what they fantasy will happen, a miracle will be even if unnatural to reality.

However, what happens when two equally-powerful Engifted warriors meet, and a shield that can halt anything is hit by a spear which pierce through everything?

• Artifacts

Objects filled to the brim with the essence of its’ Engifted users, endowed with abilities and powers that can be wielded even by regular people... if its safe and stable enough.

Though Engifted can channel the Gift directly into any objects to transform their properties, tehy dry out to a normal state the moment they are not in use. True Artifact are made without intentions – through years and decades of use and bearing. Trinkets, weapons of war, tools of creation alike, and more. It is not always clear what is and Artifact and what powers they posses. Most common are remains of Engifted of course, specifically their bones – after soaking in the Gift for an entire bodily life, they can become pure source of vitality and healing for others; sometimes text written by vehement Engifted are filled with control over minds, or a paintings made by them may become animated.

Many of Artifacts are allowed and propitious to be used as soon as possible when a befit bearer found, before these dry out of inner powers. However, some are protected and venerated for their sacred and historical nature, eventually being withered by the time itself.

Of course same logic and understanding is applied to pestigeous degenerations created by the followers of the Serpent – Cursed Artifacts. Whenever one is found it shall be destroyed, no matter how weak or useful it is may be. It is a cancer on Her body and shall not continue sickening Her.

• Lord’s Domain

Engifted Lords of Creation are known to shape the Existence itself – not just transform surroundings, but expanding what shouldn’t exist into an alongside realities, creating cove worlds their sub-consciousness demands.

Domains a truly rare and precious miracles which may be manifested only when a Solsticed Engifted dwells too much time in one place and gives it substantial meaning, affecting it with prolonged and intense abnormality of own presence. Eventually a World to her likeness would be created – a simple shallow well will lead into a deepless ocean and a painting on a teapot becomes a gate to an imagined tangibility.

Creator of such Domain can come and go as she pleases, it is part her of her worldview after all, yet others don’t even realize when or if they enter or escape… as a reflection of its creators, Domains are never static and stable.

As far as it is explored Domains are small expansions of reality: they may contain own laws, but alike to bulges and folds on a fabric of a cosmic dress upon Her’s body, Domains are derivative fragments of much powerful and vast Existence, and once you straighten them into normality – everything unnatural inside them will be forever dispersed like it never was there, but returning what truly is real back to us.
