Big Lore Post / Gift of Creation ; Part 0.2 and 2

• Gift of Creation

It is a leverage to tap into the essence of the Existence and become a single reason with it. A way to unobey its laws, or structure new ones. One who is blessed by our Joyful and Gorgeous with this Gift is empowered to ask questions to the Stars and hear the Existence to give its answers.

Modern scientific believe is that the Gift is part of Her being – what we poses are just mere splinters of shattered true power we absorb through our lives. Same as when we consume harvest grown from Her flesh and drink Her tears – the Gift becomes part of us, for some more, for some less, but eventually it returns back to Her with our bodies, and then granted anew to others.

The vehemence of all Engifted depends first on intensity of Gifts bestowed to them by Meora. Most can suspect they are blessed, but never powerful enough to manifest miracles, as it is far from their control than own heartbeat. Some are able to bend tangibility without realizing it as much as people who surround them, attributing strange events to normality of luck. Those few who are truly aware of their potentials use the Gift and toil hard in Her name, accepting duties of being blessed ones. Rarest of all wield tremendous might – their’st actions reshape Meorenell and its history.

Alas true potential of Engifted comes from creativity and perception of reality in their own minds; to bend the reality is to understand it first. One can imagine how a metal rod gets hued with myriads of hot white colors before it melts, another can go deeper into atomic level and comprehend how every of trillions of atoms move in chaos transforming solid mass into liquid, but a few would befriend Miss Rod and make her blushing with embarrassment – variable approaches for different minds.

Most Engifted understand logic of the Existence surrounding us, and therefore can briefly transform that logic to create miracles. But the greater one’s Gift – the heavier its weight on one’s mind and sanity: if not for our understanding then most powerful Enifted would be considered insane and deranged, but in actuality they see the truth of surrounding reality in different planes, and these truths seep out of their minds, allowing them to create something that shouldn’t exist and suppress that which already exist.

The Gift doesn’t manifest in mind alone, but in flesh too: Engifted body is destined to live longer, it don’t get sick with pity illnesses and suppress viruses, very quick to heal wound and even grow back limbs. As well bodily anomalies and even environment changes they unable to control and can only accept as part of themselves. Inherently, our Engifted sisters are more perfected in Her image than others.

• Engifted Grades

Classification System, as constituted by Herquisition administration and approved by the Supreme Council of Her’s in Year 20 AA, to qualify mentality and vehemence of Engifted, blessed in Her Light they are twice. Encompasses eight individual grades, from those who poses limited potential to those who are exemplar of Creation. In rising order they are: Glimmer, Glint, Spark, Blaze, Enshined, Luminant, Radiant and Solsticed. First four grades also divided into Dim and Bright ranks.

Upon evaluation of own grade, it is required for sistren to accept themselves and find proper values to own possibilities as an Engifted. As well this classification helps through Meority in simplifying recognition of obligations a person can and shall bring with their Gift, for the engoodening of fellow sistren and protection of Allmother’s Gorgeousness.

Although this Classification System created only this age, Herqistion historians were carefully researching known and famous Engifted from the Age of Crumbling and awarded most possibly proper grades to heroes and queens of the past. Though it is hard for their work to be accurate with so many missing or oversaturated stories.

Glimmer

They display the weakest possibilities of the Gift and not even considered or required to learn Doctrines. Herquisition researches believe that three forth of Glimmer-grade Engifted who live in rural or remote areas never to know about own abilities at all. In most cases Glimmers don’t recognize themselves as Engifted and thus grade themselves as Muten, while friends and neighbors around them consider slightly strange events as a result of accidental luck or mishap. When truly channeling the Gift, Glimmers can do miracles that are not much beneficial, but at least can be situationally useful in everyday life: create a flame as big as of candle or close small wounds by drawing a finger over it. No permanent physical changes appear on bodies of Glimmers as well.

It is concluded by Herquistion researchers that ninety million is most likely number of people who live today can receive Glimmer grade.

Glint

Engifted of this grade are fully aware of it, even if their abilities are not as magnificent as what higher grade peers can manifest. They are encouraged to join Doctrines, at least basic ones, to nurture and constrain abilities they already show. With some effort and training Glints can use their Gift in regular work when it is applicable: they can easily generate a dense continuous flame big enough to cover own palm or freeze fresh meat just by touching it. Small physical changes can be observed on Glints’ bodies, but not very unnatural – a lock of hair is forever of contrast-different color or a birthmark of an interesting appearance.

Less than ten million as of current population is plausible number of sistren who can be graded as Glints, per Herquisition last official report.

Spark

The Gift can be effectively used in a civil life, but sadly for prospects of destructive energies its primary utilization is against the enemies of Meority – from within and without. Engifted of Spark grade and higher are forthwith drafted for military service in most nations, or by demand of Herquistion, and decreed to complete Basic Doctrines with additional ones depending on their future assignment. Most Sparks serve in Remedy Forces or in support to Knights of Creation. Engifted of this grade are powerful enough to depend on their Gift in a short fight one-on-one; but their miracles are still fundamentally based on rules of scientific reality we in Meority understand, without too paranormal contortions: like creating balls of fire size of a head or slow movements of matter in surrounding bubble-area.

Freely visible are extended bodily anomalies, be that unique shape of horns and ears, or somewhat aberrant skin changes.

According to Herquisition officials estimate number of Spark-grade sistren who live among us today is around a million and a hundred thousand.

Blaze

Around a hundred twenty thousands is a number of known Blaze-grade sistren, and at this very moment many of them risk their lives for us, as Knights of Creation.

It is an honor to be born one, but too it is a responsibility – parasites are Infinite, and so does thou’s service in Her name. From early childhood Blazes are destined to become Knights of Creation for home nation. Intense Doctrine and military trainings will be administered under supervision of Herquistion, and as great results are expected. With a greater power and without significant effort Blazes can channel their blades to pass through toughest armor, set an enemy aflame just when walking nearby, manipulate earth to impale foes and make fists shatter when one dared to be raised, or they can easily enhance constants of themselves – toughening body and sharpening mind.

Unique physical anomalies manifest on bodies of Blazes, often not standard to their biology, but still beautiful in their forms, be that fingers covered in reptile scales when not of reptilian-type tribe or greatly unusual skin coloration and patterns.

Enshined

First of unstable. Engifted of this grade are merely more vehement than Blazes, but weight of the Gift on their minds is already starts showing. It is still easy to train and educate Doctrines to Enshined, but their mind has a chance to grasp wrong ideas, affecting future usage of the Gift. As well not every of them are disciplined or obey orders, often follow decision of their own, and use the Gift in irregular and eccentric ways, though that doesn’t mean inefficient. Miracles of Enshined may display superstitious elements, important and logical only for their insight, but largely useless to truly work (or it seems) – something like praying words and runes weaved into manipulated shapes and substances, or specific colors determining various characteristics of created miracles.

Bodily anomalies of Enshined are larger in size and may include more unnatural growths of originally non-organic matter as well as dermis patterns of... what some called, “magical origins”.

A little less than fourteen thousands people are of Enshined grade, as per Herquistion office.

Limunant

Close to thirteen hundreds sistren who live on Her Gorgeousness today are officially received status of Luminants, and many of them serve among Ordono Krano with given freedoms and authorities.

Even more volatile in mind under pressure of the Gift they bear, not all of them are capable become Knights of Creation – first of all because only a handful few can learn rule of authority and follow orders, but as well not many Luminants can be taught Doctrines and keep themselves restrained from unsound actions and disturbing stability of surrounding reality. Yet, they always find their abode among Red Capes of Herquisition – enemies withing are growing, evolving under no control, follow no rules, and so the one who hunts them shall have no restrains either.

On top of greater bodily anomalies, Luminant presence may constantly graze surroundings, especially on direct touch, leaving behind changes very much differ to laws of nature – and that is before they even use the Gift with intentions. When Luminants use fire they not just simply incinerate their foes, but may set themselves in frozen flame too, sweeping entire room with a swarm of sparks only to walk away unburned, leaving behind shattered insect-eaten bodies.

Radiant

Radiants are blessed with the Gift, but also cursed. They are not hated, but venerated – their enjoyment of live is unwillingly sacrificed for an elevating power they might never wanted. Just a bare Anomalous Presence of Radiants is affecting the reality around them even in unconscious state – be that abnormal temperatures or appearance of ghostly paint on surroundings – a results of unintentionally insane and frantic worldview somewhere deep in their consciousness, which make them believe in these anomalies to be part of the real world, amplifying these believes in return. Same can be said about their social sanity – if you dare to communicate with a Radiant, you unceasingly walk on a glass shards, where a wrong word can make you drown deeper in a sea of sharpness. Thus it is advised not to approach such Engifted or risk irreversible changes permeating withing you, often denying you life to continue, even when neither of you want this to happen.

As a result they can’t understand the same reality we do, they can’t commune with us as we can, they can’t wield technologies we able – the Gift of theirs is too vehement and mind is fever with frenzy thoughts. Even Herquisition not always finds a place for them to stay. All they can do in life is to seek for a purpose, one which they always find in battles against nightmares born from the Envy, and when a Radiant step on a battlefields against Umbral Horrors, she resembles a comet on an empty night sky, shining like the first candle through a bog of darkness, leading the way out of it.

Herquistion office recognizes a hundred sixty one of our sistren who of a Radiant grade.

Solsticed

The most powerful and puissant of Engifted receive titles of Solsticed – Paragon of an Engifted. The very few of them live at the same time, let alone met, but a far away presence of one is already enough for all of us to awe. As such, every Solsticed receives a unique title of the Lord of Creation they will be known and remembered with in history.

After recently passed away Flattia Bellus, Lord of Perpetual Calm, there are only twenty other known confirmed Solsticed who live on Meorenell at this very moment, and act on this world in ways they freely desire.

No Herquisitors nor Queens nor Empresses can command them – Solsticed do not obey anyone, kneel only to Aspects, and heed solely to calls of own conscience. Some are hiding in their chaotic Domains forever alone, some gather honorable Retinues to march against Nightmares of Envy, some rule over nations, and some… become even frenzier than they already are. Whatever they do – their actions leave marks on our world.

Although compared to might and powers of Aspects they still look like children with toys, Solsticed’s Anomalous Presence changes reality in a way we can only describe by a simple word from a language of the Giant – “Magic”, for what is happening often has no logic or science behind it. It doesn’t matter if they are awake or slumber, vehemence of their Gift is continuously altering the Existence around them: when they believe white colors are indestructible – then it is true, when they believe a shape of circle is magnifying view – it does so, when they believe to levitate – so be it, and when they believe that a normal world is set aflame – then all they look at is burning. With such, under influence of the Gift bodies of Solsticed are shaped into that of a greater beauty, recognizable but distant ones of their tribes.

• Muten

Today it is widely believed that every child of Meora is blessed with the Gift, but as not all are destined to be born with a spectacular bosom or elegant feet, not all are born with the Gift of any significance too. Whenever it is true or not, vast majority of people in Meority are bereft of ability to form miracles.

• Resonants

Very often it refers to rare occurrences of people (or living creatures in general) who can’t be affected by anomalous presence of a high-grade Engifted. Usually it is a person so dear to said Engifted, that her fear of harming repercussions unintentionally subdues and nullifies effects of the Gift on or around such person. After all, life of most high-grade Engifted is lone and sad, they can’t even find kinship in each other, for their perceptions and delirium of reality clash when they meet. Forever they wish to share lives with sistren in full someday, a wish that never to come true. And so they travel upon Her Gorgeousness to find those few we call Resonants, who they can touch and who in return can be kindred to them not from a distance. And when they find – they dear it greatly.

As well it refers to two or more Engifted of the same grade and vehemence, who perfectly synchronized and unintentionally suppress each other because of flawless understanding of how an opponent think and uses the Gift, and therefore mutually restricting its use.

Too it refers to a very few historic high-grade Enigfted who saw the world as it is, whose insight of reality was not torn by madness under influence of the Gift, and therefore their presence kept reality as it shall be, stopping other Engifted from altering it in any ways.
