The planet Elydra

Elyndra is a world created by the Sun God and endowed with life by the Moon Goddess. Its size is slightly larger than Earth's, and it possesses similar gravity, allowing most species to move about normally. However, its main difference is the presence of the Lunar Ether, an energy that permeates virtually all of creation.
Ether is found in living beings, plants, minerals, oceans, the atmosphere, and even in certain places where it seems to have accumulated over centuries. This energy makes geography a fundamental element for magic.
The distribution of Ether is not uniform.
The geography of Elyndra is not entirely static either. Vast amounts of magic can alter mountains, rivers, forests, or even the climate. Some present-day regions may be the scars of ancient magical events.
The planet has six large continents, five large oceans, enormous mountain ranges, ancient forests, deserts, polar regions and numerous still unknown territories.

🌊 2. The Great Oceans:
Elyndra has four large oceans that occupy a considerable part of its surface.
Ocean of Asteria: the largest in the world. It contains countless islands and is one of the main territories of the Sirens.
The Shadow Sea: an extremely deep ocean. Below a certain depth, light virtually disappears. It is believed that its abysses harbor unknown creatures.
Solar Sea: its waters receive a particularly high concentration of solar energy, causing temperatures slightly higher than usual.
Lunar Sea: at night, its surface reflects the Moon with a supernatural intensity. Some lunar magicians consider its waters especially appropriate for certain rituals.

Elyndra is divided into six large continental landmasses.
Aurelia: the most populated and diverse continent. It is home to numerous mortal civilizations and will be one of the main centers of kingdoms, trade, wars, and magical development.
Elarion: a continent dominated by gigantic forests and natural territories. It is especially important for elves, dryads, fairies, and other nature-related species.
Drakhar: a mountainous, volcanic, and extremely rugged continent. It is known for its enormous mountain ranges and for being home to numerous dragons and giants.
Nymara: a humid region covered by rainforests, swamps, and large river systems. Its biodiversity is extraordinary, and natural magic has a strong presence.
Valkyr: a northern continent covered mainly by tundra, glaciers, and snow-capped mountains. Much of its civilization is underground.
Ophir: a continent of vast deserts and canyons. Beneath its sands lie the ruins of ancient civilizations and regions where the Aether behaves abnormally.

🏔️ 4. The Great Mountain Ranges:
The Elyndra mountain ranges are some of the oldest natural structures on the planet.
Celestial Range: the highest mountain range in the world. Its peaks pierce the clouds, and some remain virtually inaccessible.
Drakhar Tusks: enormous volcanic mountains historically associated with dragons. Some contain active volcanoes and large mineral deposits.
White Crown: a mountain range located in the northern regions. Its peaks remain covered in ice year-round.
Empty Mountains: a mountainous region where vegetation is sparse and magic behaves erratically. The reasons for this anomaly are still unknown.
The mountains also possess enormous cave systems.

The forests of Elyndra vary greatly depending on their climate, Aether concentration, and age.
Elarion Forest: the largest known forest. Some of its trees are hundreds of meters tall.
Black Forest: It receives very little light, even during the day. Its vegetation is particularly dark, and numerous nocturnal creatures inhabit it.
Moon Forest: On certain nights, its plants emit a faint glow. The concentration of Lunar Ether is especially high.
Crimson Forest: It has reddish-leaved trees and numerous plants capable of actively defending themselves against intruders.
Spring Forest: territory where vegetation grows at abnormal rates. Plants can recover destroyed areas in a matter of days.
The oldest forests may contain species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.

Elyndra is in a time of transition between a feudal world and an increasingly technological society. The kingdoms are still dominated by monarchies, nobility, knights, guilds, and castles, but magic, printing, and gunpowder are slowly transforming civilization.
Large cities possess walls, paved roads, bridges, mills, sewers, workshops, and markets. The most advanced cities incorporate magical infrastructure, such as Aether lamps, heating systems, enchanted mechanisms, and defensive barriers. Development varies enormously between regions: a village may maintain a virtually medieval way of life, while a major capital boasts magical academies, printing presses, and firearms.
🔥 Gunpowder
Gunpowder was discovered through alchemical and plant-based experimentation. For centuries it was considered inferior to magic, but its main advantage changed warfare: it requires neither Aether nor magical knowledge. There are arquebuses, matchlock pistols, primitive muskets, cannons, and explosives. They are slow and inaccurate, but they allow even someone without magical training to face experienced warriors.
⚔️ Magic and technology
Magic did not replace technology; the two began to combine. Wizards can enchant weapons, enhance mechanisms, create magical ammunition, or store spells in objects, though magic does not eliminate the need for physical components like gunpowder.
🧙 Academies and knowledge
Magic academies teach the theories of Aether, Arcana, Nature, Solar, Lunar, Alchemy, Runes, magical creatures, and materials. The printing press is revolutionizing knowledge, allowing for the reproduction of books and grimoires much more easily. Even so, advanced knowledge remains difficult to acquire.
🧪 Medicine and alchemy
Traditional medicine coexists with vital magic and alchemy. There are doctors, potions, surgery, and healing spells. Magic can facilitate recovery.

Elyndra is entering a truly revolutionary era. The old order of kings, knights, and nobility is beginning to confront new ideas, weapons, and knowledge. The great question is no longer just who should rule, but also who has the right to control magic and new technologies.

The Sun God is the creator of matter and everything that constitutes the physical world. He created the earth, the seas, the skies, the plants, and the bodies of creatures.

Its appearance is almost impossible to behold. It possesses the perfect body of a Greek statue, muscular and harmonious, but it never displays a human face. In the place where its face should be, there is only an intense golden glow, so bright that no one can discern what lies behind it.

He is proud, authoritarian, and deeply aware of his own divinity. He considers his creations as beings that exist thanks to him and, therefore, believes they owe him respect and worship.

He can directly observe any being he has created. He knows their actions, their thoughts, their emotions, and virtually everything that happens within their existence.
However, there is a fundamental limitation:
The Sun can only observe what it directly created;
If you create two beings and they have offspring, you can observe the parents, but you cannot directly see or know their children. Those offspring belong to a generation that arose from the creation and will of other beings, not your own.
This limitation is probably one of the few things that are completely beyond his control.

Despite her stern nature, there is one exception: The Moon Goddess.
The Sun feels a deep affection for her and, although he is normally cold and inflexible with his creations, when he is with the Moon he becomes considerably more patient and tolerant.

The Moon Goddess is completely different.
She is a woman of extraordinary beauty, with pale skin, white hair, and luminous white eyes. She wears a simple white himation, whose appearance contrasts with the almost supernatural intensity of her presence.

She is calm, warm, and patient.

When the Sun created the first bodies, they were merely empty shells. They had form, but no life.
The Moon was the one who completed the creation.
He did not grant them magic.
He gave them something far more fundamental: a soul.

When the Moon gave a soul to the bodies created by the Sun, they began to live, feel, think, and experience the world.
Therefore, for the Moon, her creations are not simply "creations".
She prefers to call them her children.

The Gift of the Moon:
The Moon possesses a capacity that even the Sun does not share.
You can contemplate the past of any being that possesses a soul through their eyes.
Every second you observe is roughly equivalent to a year of memories.
I could look into a creature's eyes for a few minutes and contemplate virtually its entire life.
However, he rarely uses this ability.
The Moon considers that knowing someone's past without their consent is an invasion of their privacy.
That's why he prefers something much simpler: talking.
He can communicate with humans, animals, magical creatures, and virtually any being that possesses a soul. He doesn't need to look inside them to know them.
You can sit next to an animal, talk to it, and discover who it is through its own words.
This explains one of the fundamental differences between the two gods: The Sun knows its creations because it can observe them.
The Moon knows her children because she chooses to listen to them.

When a being is near her, they feel a calm, they feel that the cold is replaced by a warm environment, the Moon smiles so beautifully that it melts anyone's heart.

The Moon also created something that the Sun never considered necessary:
a place for the dead.
When a creature dies, its soul is received by the Moon.
She takes her to a spiritual dimension completely separate from the physical world, a kind of pocket dimension created exclusively for that purpose.
No one else can access it.
Not even humans.
Not even magicians.
Nor other gods.
Not even the Sun God.
Each soul possesses its own paradise there.
But there is no single universal paradise.
The Moon creates a different one for each individual, adapting it to their deepest desires, memories, and needs.
A man who spent his entire life in poverty could wake up again as the child he once was, return to the house where he grew up, and find his parents there.
A person who always wanted to travel could find themselves in an infinite world full of places they could never visit.
Someone who lost their loved ones could be reunited with them.
Paradise is not static either.
Change along with the soul.
If your desires change, the place changes.
And the Moon remains there with each soul, accompanying it.
There is no mandatory suffering, eternal judgment, or punishment.
It is simply the place that every soul needed to find after dying.

The relationship between the Sun and the Moon would be one of the most interesting parts of this mythology.
The Sun was the one who created the world.
The Moon was the one that brought life to that world.
He represents creation, power, and authority.
She represents the soul, understanding, and freedom.
The Sun can look at a creature and know everything about it.
The Moon can look at her and decide not to.
And although the Sun is much more authoritarian, there is something that seems to soften him: he loves the Moon.
Accept her way of thinking even when you don't agree with it.
They both had offspring in two different ways: they created numerous demigods through their own powers, while they also had five children born naturally.

The Sun desires to be worshipped.
For him, worship is not simply a religious matter: it is the recognition of his authority as creator.
Those who venerate him are rewarded, while those who blaspheme against him or against the Moon may receive terrible punishments.
The Sun can even kill those it considers offenders.
The Moon, on the other hand, does not fully share this attitude.
Although he doesn't enjoy blasphemy either, he forgives much more easily.
For her, a creature can make mistakes, hate her, question her, or even reject her and still be worthy of existing.
This creates a rather interesting philosophical difference between the two:
The Sun demands respect because it created its children.
The moon loves them because it gave them a soul.

We can define them as follows:
★☆☆☆☆ — Very low affinity. Learning is difficult.
★★☆☆☆ — Low affinity. Requires considerable effort.
★★★☆☆ — Normal affinity. Relatively balanced learning.
★★★★☆ — High affinity. Learns easily.
★★★★★ — Exceptional affinity. Has an extraordinary natural predisposition.
But ★★★★★ doesn't mean "you can master it automatically".
And ★☆☆☆☆ does not mean "cannot learn it".
An individual can completely overcome their natural affinity through study and experience.
Each being, not necessarily dependent on their race, is born with a different affinity for each branch of magic and greater ease or disadvantages in learning and finally being able to achieve their corresponding mastery.

The magic appeared later.
The Moon did not use magic to give them life; life came from the soul.
Magic is a different kind of creation.
It is a force that both gods can use and that subsequently began to exist in the world independently.

Three fundamental concepts:
Body → created by the Sun.
Soul → given by the Moon.
Magic → created by the Moon and subsequently transmitted to the world.

This allows for the existence of beings with a soul but without magical ability.
And it also explains why magic does not define what it means to be alive.

✨ 1. Where does magic come from?
The magic could be provisionally called Lunar Ether.
When the Moon Goddess created magic, it spread throughout the world as a kind of invisible energy. It can be found in:
The earth.
Water.
The air.
Living things.
The plants.
Minerals.
The places where magical events occurred.
Certain creatures.
It is not uniformly distributed.
There are places where it practically does not exist and others where it is so concentrated that it can alter nature.
That's why there could be magical areas, enchanted forests, lakes that possess strange properties, minerals capable of storing magic, etc.

🧙 2. Who can use magic?

There is a distinction here between having magic and knowing how to use it.

A being can possess a natural connection with the Aether and still be incapable of doing absolutely anything with it:

There are four categories:

🔹 Inert

They possess a soul, but they lack the ability to manipulate magic.
That would be most people.

🔹 Sensitive
They can sense the magic.
They can sense when there is a lot of energy in a place, detect enchanted objects, or notice the presence of a sorcerer.
But they still can't manipulate it.

🔹 Channelers
They can consciously absorb and manipulate Ether.
They are the true users of magic.

🔹 Magical wonders
They possess an exceptional affinity.
They learn much faster, can manipulate enormous amounts of energy, or develop techniques that would normally require decades.

📚 3. Is it possible to learn?

Yeah.
An individual with little affinity can learn certain forms of magic through training.
Learning has three stages:
Perception → Control → Manifestation
First, learn to feel the Ether.
Then learn how to move it.
Finally, he learns to transform it into concrete effects.
An apprentice could spend years practicing just to light a small flame.
Whereas a teacher could turn that same energy into a fire.

🧠 4. Magic requires imagination and knowledge

It wouldn't be enough to say, "I want fire."
The user needs to understand what they are doing.
The better you understand a phenomenon, the more precise your magic can be.
Therefore, a fire mage might study:
•Combustion.
•Temperature.
•Oxygen.
•Pressure.
•Heat propagation.
And use that knowledge to perform magic much more efficiently.

🪄 5. Fundamental Types of Magic
I would start with six main branches.

🔥 Elemental Magic:

Manipulation of natural phenomena.
Includes:
•Fire.
•Water.
•Land.
•Air.
•Ice.
•Electricity.
It does not necessarily mean creating matter from nothing.
A water user could manipulate an existing river much more easily than create an ocean from scratch.

🌿 Vital Magic:

Manipulation of life-related processes.
It can be used for:
•Healing.
•Accelerate regeneration.
•Strengthen organizations.
•Handling plants.
•Detect diseases.
•Temporarily alter physical characteristics.
But it has limits.
Vital magic cannot simply bring a dead person back to life.
The body can repair itself.
The soul, once separated from the body, belongs to the domain of the Moon.
That gives death real weight, although one can make pacts with the moon so that she can return the soul, only if the soul so desires.

🧠 Mental Magic:

It affects the mind and the senses.
It may allow:
•Telepathy.
•Delusions.
•Alteration of memories.
•Emotional manipulation.
•Projection of thoughts.
•Mental concealment.
It is one of the most dangerous and regulated branches.

🌀 Space Magic:

Manipulate space.
Includes:
•Teleportation.
•Portals.
•Dimensional storage.
•Alteration of distances.
•Spatial barriers.
But it is extremely difficult to do.
A small mistake could have terrible consequences.

🕯️ Spiritual Magic:

This is where the relationship between magic and soul comes in.
It would allow interaction with:
•Spirits.
•Souls.
•Entities.
•Beings from the spiritual plane.
But there is a boundary that not even wizards can easily cross:
The Paradise of the Moon.
The dimension created by the Moon Goddess is completely beyond the reach of mortals.

🧿 Arcane Magic:

It is the most "abstract" branch.
It directly manipulates the magical properties of the world.
It allows:
•Create enchantments.
•Curse.
•Create artifacts.
•Alter magical properties.
•Seal powers.
•Create barriers.
•Speak directly to the Moon Goddess.
Manipulating other forms of magic.
It is the branch studied by great academics and magicians.

⚔️ 6. And magic in combat?:

Here we can connect with the wonders.
A warrior can learn to channel small amounts of Ether through their body.
For example:
•Physical reinforcement
•Temporarily increases:
••Force.
•Speed.
•Endurance.
•Highlights.
•Sensory capacity.
A master swordsman could combine this with his technique and become a monstrously powerful fighter.
But there would be a difference: a magician controls magic externally.
A magical warrior uses it primarily on himself.

💀 7. The price of magic:

Magic always costs something.
Not necessarily blood or years of life (although in some cases of Arcane magic, yes).
The main price would be user exhaustion.
Manipulating Ether consumes physical and mental energy.
If someone tries to use too much:
•It gets tired.
•Loses concentration.
•Suffers pain.
•You may temporarily lose your magical abilities.
•May suffer physical damage.
•In extreme cases, it can be fatal.
This prevents a wizard from simply saying, "I cast a giant spell." every five seconds.

One fundamental rule: Magic cannot freely overcome the power of its creators.
Mortals can do extraordinary things, but there are limits established since the origin of the world.
For example:
•Creating true life: impossible for a mortal.
•Creating a soul: impossible.
•Entering the Moon's Paradise: impossible.
•Creating a god: impossible.
•To fully resurrect a dead person: impossible.
This maintains the Moon Goddess and the Sun God as truly divine entities and prevents any magician, with enough training, from becoming equally powerful.

Arcane Magic is the deepest and most dangerous branch of magic, because it is not limited to manipulating elements or energy: it allows interaction with the fundamental magical laws that have existed since the creation of the world.
The most advanced arcane magicians can learn to perform certain rituals capable of establishing temporary contact with the Moon Goddess.
However, they cannot force her to appear.
The ritual functions more like a request.
The magician prepares a ritual space, uses specific symbols, and concentrates a vast amount of Ether. If the connection is successful, the Moon Goddess may manifest before him.
And here's something important:
The Moon knows if the ritual is legitimate.
She cannot be deceived by illusions, lies, or magic tricks.

A fundamental rule is: The ritual is not something that just any magician can do.
It is established that being able to speak with the Moon is one of the greatest possible achievements for a user of Arcane Magic.
A magician could spend his entire life studying and never succeed.
And even if he succeeds, he has no authority over the Moon.

Arcane Magic can open the door.
The Moon decides whether to respond.

And this maintains a fundamental difference between mortal magic and divine power:

Mortals can learn to knock on the doors of the divine, but they cannot decide whether that door will open.

An extremely advanced user of Arcane Magic could request from the Moon Goddess something that no mortal magic can achieve on its own: to return a soul to the physical world.

When someone dies, their soul is taken to the Paradise of the Moon.
Therefore, the magician does not need to rebuild the soul or find it.
The Moon already has it.
The ritual simply makes a request: "Allow this soul to return."
But the decision does not belong to the magician.
It belongs entirely to the soul.
The Moon approaches her in her own paradise and asks if she wishes to return.

If the soul accepts:
The Moon allows the soul to temporarily leave its paradise and return to its body.
The body must still be able to house her, or it must be restored by other magical means before she can return.
When the soul re-enters the body, the person is revived.

If the soul refuses:
No matter how much the magician insists.
The resurrection fails.
The Moon will never force one of her children to leave paradise.

This means that death continues to have an enormous impact on the world.

Magic based on knowledge, precision, and conscious manipulation of the Aether. It is the most versatile branch and probably the one with the most sub-branches.
🔮 Conjuration
Create or manifest objects, creatures, or structures through Ether.
🧿 Enchantment
To introduce magical properties into objects, weapons, materials, or beings.
📜 Runology

🛡️ Barriers
Create shields, walls, protective fields, and isolated zones.
🔗 Sealed
To enclose, restrict, or prevent something from using certain capabilities.
🏛️ Domain
Imposing magical conditions on a territory. This is where the creation of Copies comes in.
🕯️ Ritualism
Using preparations, components, circles, and multiple wizards to produce effects too complex for a normal spell.
🧩 Constructs
Creation of artificial beings through magic. Copies would be an extremely specialized application of this sub-branch, along with Mastery and Natural magic.

Manipulation of the forces and materials present in the world.
🔥 Fire
Heat, flames and combustion.
🌊 Water
Water, humidity, pressure and currents.
🌬️ Air
Wind, pressure and atmospheric movement.
🪨 Rock

❄️ Ice
Freezing, cold, and solidified water.
🌋 Lava
Specialized combination of Fire + Rock.
🌫️ Fog
Handling of suspended water and atmospheric humidity.
🌪️ Storm
Advanced combination of Air + Water + Lightning.

And here a nice rule is established: combined sub-branches are considerably more difficult to master, because the magician must simultaneously understand several forms of Natural magic.

Manipulation of Solar Energy, related to the essence of the Sun God.
It is not simply "light magic"; it is a fundamental energy of creation.
✨ Radiance
Generation and manipulation of light and solar energy.
🔥 Incandescence
Concentrating solar energy to produce extreme temperatures.
🛡️ Power Up
Temporarily strengthen body, weapons or spells using solar energy.
👁️ Revelation
Detecting illusions, concealment, magic, and certain entities.
⚔️ Purification
To destroy or expel certain magical influences, especially those incompatible with solar energy.
☀️ Illuminate
Create a sphere of light of variable size or give luminous properties to a desired object.
⚖️ Trial
The most dangerous form of solar magic. It allows the concentration of enormous amounts of energy to produce attacks or effects of an almost divine nature.

Important: Using solar magic does not automatically mean receiving the power of the Sun God. It is manipulating an energy that exists in creation.

Related to the spiritual nature of the Lunar Ether and to concepts such as soul, memory, dreams, and perception.
👻 Spirit
Perceiving and interacting with spirits.
❤️ Soul
To manipulate or directly perceive the soul.
🧠 Memory
To read, protect, retrieve or alter memories.

Handling of dead bodies.
👻 Spiritism
Communication with spirits.
🔗 Tie
To prevent a spirit from leaving a place, object, or body.
🦴 Animation
To move corpses or remains using Ether.
🕯️ Invocation
To temporarily summon spiritual entities.
🌑 Corruption
Altering bodies or spirits through mortuary energy.
🌙 Return
The sub-branch related to the resurrection.

A wizard can request the return of a soul, but he cannot force it.
The Moon can allow the soul to return if it accepts.

🗣️ Telepathy
To transmit and receive thoughts.
🧠 Influence
Altering emotions or decisions without completely controlling the person.
⛓️ Domination
Direct mind control.
👁️ Perception
Manipulating the senses.
🧩 Memory
Modify or block memories.
🪞 Projection
To introduce thoughts, images, or sensations into another mind.

The target's mental resilience would determine how much the magician can do.

Create small dimensional spaces.
📏 Compression
Reduce distances.
↔️ Expansion
Increase distances.
🔒 Space Seals
Prevent teleportation, portals, or spatial manipulation within an area.
🏛️ Dimensional
Create complex dimensional structures.

Herein lies a huge difference:
A magician can create a pocket dimension; the Moon Goddess created a true spiritual world for every soul.

Probably one of the most difficult branches.
🐌 Slowdown
To slow down the time of something.
⚡ Acceleration
Increase its temporary speed.
⏸️ Suspension
To temporarily stop an object or small area.
👁️ Temporal Perception
Perceiving events at a different time speed.
🔄 Reversal
Partially return an object or state to a previous condition.
⚓ Anchoring
To fix something in a temporary state to prevent alterations.
Freely traveling to the past or future would be far more complex, possibly beyond the reach of almost any mortal.

Although it could be considered part of Arcana, I would leave it as its own branch, because it has a very specific function.
🛡️ Territorial Protection
Create protected areas.
🚫 Exclusion
Determine who can enter or leave.
👁️ Surveillance
Perceiving events within the territory.
📜 Mandate
Establish magical rules.
🗿 Guardians
Create entities responsible for protecting an area.
🧿 Nexus
Create magic points that maintain a dominance.
🏛️ Complete Domain
Combine all of the above to create a complex magical territory.
Copies would be one of the most sophisticated examples of this branch.

This is a special and quite dangerous branch.
The magician uses matter, energy, memories, years of life, magical objects, or other sources as fuel for a spell.
🔥 Offering
To convert an object or material into magical energy.
🩸 Blood
Using blood as a magical component.
💀 Life
Use life force.
🧠 Memory
Sacrificing memories to feed magic.
🌙 Soul
Use fragments or spiritual energy.
The latter would be extremely dangerous and possibly considered one of the most serious practices in the world.

And this connects magic + science.
⚗️ Transmutation
Modify substances.
🧪 Elixirs
Create consumable magical substances.
🧱 Magic Materials
To create or modify materials with supernatural properties.
💎 Crystallization
Store Ether inside crystals.
🧬 Mutation
Alter organisms through preparations.
⚙️ Magitecnia
Combining magic with mechanisms, weapons, and technology.
This is especially important in the age of kings, knights, and primitive guns: technology is beginning to merge with magic.

I. The man who defied the limits

Merlin was a human born without divine blood, extraordinary lineage, or a destiny imposed by the gods. The only exceptional thing about him was his perseverance.

From a young age, he dedicated his life to the study of magic. He learned its principles, experimented with its limits, and studied each of its branches. Where other magicians gave up after years of failure, Merlin persevered. Over the decades, he achieved something that seemed impossible: mastery of all the major branches of magic.

His mastery of Arcane Magic was especially extraordinary. He learned to perform rituals capable of contacting forces that no mortal had ever been able to comprehend, and finally, he managed to establish communication with the Moon Goddess.

However, Merlin never sought to become a god. His curiosity was genuine. He wanted to understand magic, the world, and the beings that inhabited it.

It was precisely that curiosity that caught the Moon's attention.

II. From goddess and mortal to friends

When Merlin first managed to speak with the Moon Goddess, he didn't ask for power, immortality, or riches. He simply spoke to her.

He asked her questions.

He told her stories.

He discussed magic.

He told her about humans, their mistakes, their discoveries, and the strange things he had encountered during his travels.

The Moon discovered that this human wasn't just interested in learning her secrets. He wanted to know her.

Over time, their conversations became frequent. Merlin learned that the Moon could see into the past of any soul, but she preferred not to use that gift on him. Instead of looking into his memories, she simply listened when he chose to tell her something.

Thus a true friendship was born.

Merlin could joke with her, give her his opinion, and even disagree with a goddess. And the Moon didn't punish him for it; on the contrary, she enjoyed having someone who could speak to her without fear.

The Sun God also came to respect him. Although he initially observed the human with a certain distance, he recognized that Merlin had achieved something extraordinary without letting his power destroy his humility.

III. The Last Hill

Merlin continued to live for many years.

Contrary to the legends that would later arise about him, he did not die in a battle against a monster, nor was he killed by a rival. There was no great tragedy or curse.

He simply got old.

His body, like that of any mortal, began to lose the strength it had once possessed.

Finally, one winter afternoon, Merlin arrived at a snow-covered hill.

He sat there to contemplate the landscape.

The wind was cold and the world was quiet. After a life dedicated to knowledge, travel, and magic, the old wizard understood that his journey was coming to an end.

He died of old age on that snowy hill.

When his soul left his body, the Moon Goddess went to meet him.

And something unexpected happened.

The moon was happy.

Not because I was happy that Merlin had died, but because it meant that I could finally see him again.

The Sun God, who was next to her, was completely surprised.

I had seen countless creatures die throughout the existence of the world, but I had never seen the Moon receive a death with such joy.

"Why are you so happy?" he asked her.

The moon simply smiled.

"Because Merlin has arrived," said the Moon, smiling as she ran to greet Merlin.

IV. Merlin's Paradise

Like any soul, Merlin received his own paradise.

The Moon created for him a place where he could rest and enjoy everything he had ever wanted during his life.

But that wasn't enough for her.

Merlin had been one of his children during his mortal life, but he had also become something much stranger.

He was his friend.

Therefore, the Moon offered him a privilege that it had never granted to any other mortal.

A door appeared within their paradise.

By passing through it, Merlin could go directly to the house of the Moon Goddess.

I didn't need permission.

He didn't need to perform rituals.

I didn't need to summon her.

I could visit her whenever I wanted.

The Moon explained to him that he could enter her house, sit at her table, and stay as long as he wanted.

Merlin agreed.

From then on, he could share meals with the Moon, talk for hours, tell her jokes, talk about the mortal world, and offer her his opinion on anything he considered important.

He was not a servant.

He was not a priest.

He was not a demigod.

It was simply Merlin, his friend.

V. Merlin's Privilege

The relationship between Merlin and the Moon became one of the most extraordinary stories of creation.

Merlin could sit beside the Moon as she watched the world. He could ask her questions no living mortal could know and listen to stories that had happened long before the kingdoms existed.

Sometimes they talked about magic.

Sometimes of mortals.

Sometimes of the children of the Moon.

And other times they would simply eat and talk about completely insignificant things.

Even the Sun God eventually accepted that friendship.

Although he remained proud and stern, he deeply respected Merlin. To him, that human had demonstrated that a mortal could reach extraordinary heights without ceasing to be mortal.

Merlin never became a god.

He never received immortality.

He never stopped being human.

And perhaps that's precisely why the Moon loved him so much.

He had met countless souls throughout the existence of the world, but Merlin had achieved something that neither power nor magic could buy.

He had managed to get a goddess to want to meet him, listen to him, and share her table.

Therefore, in the centuries following his death, a phrase arose among scholars of magic:

"Merlin spent his life trying to understand the Moon Goddess. Upon dying, he discovered that she simply wanted to continue getting to know him."

A combination of Arcane Magic and Natural Magic, primarily used to protect territories. Each Copy possesses a body constructed from a specific material and two Turquoise Nexuses: one within the chest, which functions as its heart, and another located in the center of the protected area.
There are six levels: Clay (10%), Wood (20%), Stone (45%), Marble (65%), Obsidian (80%), and Divine Marble (99%). The percentage represents how much of the most powerful being in their territory they can reproduce: physical, magical, sensory, technical, and reflex abilities. Physical resistance is an exception: it depends exclusively on the material of the Copy. Obsidian, for example, is much more resistant than common stone.
A copy can mimic the target's appearance, but it can never copy the color, texture, or feel of their skin. Its body will always look and feel like the material from which it was created. It also cannot copy the target's soul or memories.
Each material has its own weaknesses. Clay is extremely fragile; wood is vulnerable to fire and plant manipulation; marble can be fractured by blunt force; obsidian is vulnerable to explosions and shockwaves. Copies can also be defeated by destroying any of the elements of their Triangle of Existence: the Inner Nexus, the Territorial Nexus, or their body.
Divine materials possess a special property: they can penetrate the supernatural defenses of divine beings. A normal weapon might shatter against a divine being, while a weapon made of divine material can wound them as if they were a mortal.
The Divine Marble Copy is the ultimate creation known. It replicates 99% of the target, but requires Lunar Ether, Solar Energy, and an enchantment directly related to the divine. Its creation can kill the mage if they do not possess enough Ether.

And most importantly: no race is excluded from any of them.
A human can learn Solar magic.
An elf can learn Mortuary magic.
An orc can learn Temporal magic.
A dragon can study Alchemy.
A goblin can become a Rune Master.
The difference lies in affinity, difficulty, talent, knowledge, practice, and perseverance.

(And Merlin basically looked at this gigantic tree of magic and said, "Yes." 💀)

The existence of a Copy depends on a Triangle of Existence composed of three elements: Internal Nexus, Territorial Nexus, and body. If any one of these disappears, the Copy ceases to exist as a functional creature.
Turquoise Nexuses are enchanted by holding the stone with both hands and directly transferring Lunar Ether. A single mage or a group can participate, placing their hands around the Nexus and transferring Ether simultaneously. This distributes the effort and reduces individual strain. The same procedure is used to transmit the Natural Magic necessary to prepare each material.
The Inner Nexus, located within the chest, establishes the Copy's level, its material, and its connection to the Territorial Nexus. The Territorial Nexus is placed in the center of the area it will protect. During its incantation, participants must visualize what they wish to protect and who the exceptions will be, functioning as a filter. For example: "Humans yes, divine no." It also determines the necessary conditions for the Copy's body to manifest.
The Territorial Nexus possesses a moderate perception of danger. If someone attempts to harm it, it releases continuous shockwaves from within, producing a loud noise. Its power depends on the enchantment.
In addition, it automatically sends a signal to the Inner Nexus requesting help; this signal is independent of the enchantment.
The body doesn't appear out of thin air: it must utilize the materials available within the protected zone. Without mud, there is no Mud Copy; without wood, there is no Wood Copy; without Divine Marble, there can be no Divine Marble Copy.
The three ways to defeat it correspond to the Triangle: destroy the Inner Nexus, destroy the Territorial Nexus, or destroy the body completely. Without the Inner Nexus, the territory has no creature to control. Without the Territorial Nexus, the protected area ceases to exist, and the Inner Nexus has nothing to protect. Without a body, the Nexus becomes a useless enchanted stone.

🟤 I. Clay Copy — 10%:

Level: I — Lowest link
Material: Enchanted clay
Copying capacity: 10%
The Clay Copy is the simplest, cheapest, and easiest to craft. It requires a Turquoise Nexus, enough clay to form the body, and a small amount of Lunar Aether. It does not require a complex elemental enchantment.
The mage uses Arcane Magic to establish the link between the Nexus, the body, and the territory it will protect. Once the necessary Aether is provided, the Copy is activated.
It can replicate approximately 10% of the physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities of the most powerful being present in its territory. Its reflexes also correspond to 10% of those of the target.
Its appearance attempts to mimic the target, but the result is rudimentary: the features may be distorted and the proportions imperfect. It can never copy the color or texture of the skin.
Its resilience depends not on the target, but solely on the clay. Therefore, even if it copies an extremely resilient being, its body will remain fragile.
Weakness: its own fragility. It can be destroyed by physical damage that its superior versions could withstand.
Like all Copies, it possesses a Turquoise Nexus at its heart, connected to another Nexus located at the center of its territory. Destroying either Nexus could end the creation.
Advantage: low cost, easy manufacturing and maintenance.

🪵 II. Wood Copy — 20%:

Level: II
Material: Enchanted wood
Copying capacity: 20%
The Wood Copy requires a Turquoise Nexus enchanted by Natural Magic, specifically its plant sub-branch, in addition to a higher amount of Ether than is needed for a Clay Copy.
The enchantment allows the wood to maintain a stable structure and more accurately reproduce the anatomy of the target.
It can reproduce approximately 20% of its physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities. Its reflexes correspond to 20% of those of the copied being.
Its appearance can be quite convincing from a distance, but it can never reproduce the color, texture, or properties of the original skin. Its body always feels and looks like wood.
Its strength depends entirely on the wood used and its enchantment, not on the strength of the target.
Main weaknesses: fire and direct manipulation of wood through Natural Magic. A user specializing in this sub-branch can interfere with the Copy's body.
Like all Copies, it possesses a Turquoise Nexus in its heart magically connected to another located in the center of its territory.
Advantage: greater stability, more accurate appearance, and superior magical ability compared to a Clay Copy.

🪨 III. Stone Copy — 45%:

Level: III
Material: Enchanted Stone
Copying capacity: 45%
The Stone Copy represents the point at which these creatures begin to become truly dangerous guardians.
Your Turquoise Nexus must receive a considerable enchantment of Natural Magic from the rock sub-branch, accompanied by a high amount of Lunar Aether.
It can replicate approximately 45% of the physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities of the most powerful being in its territory. Its reflexes also correspond to approximately 45%.
Its body imitation is quite accurate, but it's still clear that it's a stone creature. Its surface, temperature, texture, and weight correspond to the material used.
Its physical resistance is exclusively that of the stone, regardless of the resistance of the target.
It does not possess such a pronounced elemental weakness as the lesser Copies. Its main vulnerability remains the destruction of its Nexus or having its body's resistance physically overcome.
It can become a formidable rival even for experienced warriors and mages.
Advantage: Excellent balance between endurance, physical ability, and magical ability.

⚪ IV. Marble Copy — 65%:

Level: IV
Material: Enchanted Marble
Copying capacity: 65%
The Marble Copy requires a much more complex ritual and a considerable amount of Lunar Ether, along with a Turquoise Nexus prepared through Natural Magic.
It can reproduce approximately 65% ​​of the target's physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities. Its reflexes also correspond to 65%.
Its appearance can be extremely accurate. However, there is one difference that is impossible to hide: its body is still marble. It cannot copy the color, texture, or feel of the target's skin.
Its resistance is solely that of marble itself. Fire no longer poses a significant threat to this category.
Its main weakness is blunt physical impact. Extremely powerful blows, hammer blows, or attacks capable of transmitting large amounts of force can cause fractures in its structure.
A Marble Copy can already pose a serious threat even to entire groups of fighters.
Advantage: Great balance between durability, copying accuracy, and magical capabilities.

• V. Obsidian Copy — 80%:

Level: V
Material: Enchanted Obsidian
Copying capacity: 80%
The Obsidian Copy requires one of the most complex creation processes before the divine level.
The Turquoise Nexus must receive an enchantment that combines Fire Natural Magic, its Lava and Water sub-branches, and a massive amount of Lunar Aether. The interaction of these elements allows the creation and stabilization of enchanted obsidian.
It can replicate approximately 80% of the target's physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities. Its reflexes also reach approximately 80%.
The obsidian of this world possesses a resistance far superior to common stone, making its body extremely resilient.
However, that resistance belongs to the material, not the object. Even if it copies a divine being, its resistance will still be that of enchanted obsidian.
His body remains clearly recognizable as obsidian and he can never reproduce the original skin.
Weakness: Explosive attacks and shockwaves. Sudden forces can cause fractures and internal damage.
Advantage: enormous physical resistance combined with a copying ability high enough to make it an extremely dangerous creature.

✨ VI. Divine Marble Copy — 99%:

Level: VI — Highest known link
Material: Divine Marble
Copying capacity: 99%
The Divine Marble Copy is the closest thing to a perfect replica that mortal magic can produce.
Its creation requires a Turquoise Nexus prepared through a spell directly related to the Divine, in addition to a gigantic expenditure of Lunar Ether and Solar Energy.
The ritual can kill the mage if he attempts to provide an amount of Aether greater than his body can handle.
If the ritual is left incomplete, the Copy will not activate. The result will be an inert Divine Marble body and a partially charged Nexus. Another mage can later continue the ritual and provide the remaining energy.
It can replicate approximately 99% of the target's physical, magical, sensory, and combat capabilities. Its reflexes also reach 99%.
However, it never copies the soul.
Its appearance may be almost identical, but its body will always be clearly Divine Marble: texture, temperature, weight and properties of the material.
Its resistance belongs exclusively to the Divine Marble and not to the objective.
Divine materials also possess an exceptional property: they can penetrate the supernatural resistance of divine beings. An ordinary weapon might shatter against a divine being, while a weapon made of divine material could wound it as if it were a mortal.
A Divine Marble Copy requires extraordinary skill to be defeated.
And a 99% copy of Merlin would simply be a nightmare.

An animal can have:
🧠 Intelligence: ★☆☆☆☆–★★★★★
🌙 Lunar Aether: ★☆☆☆☆–★★★★★
💪 Physical: ★☆☆☆☆–★★★★★
🌿 Adaptability: ★☆☆☆☆–★★★★★

Most are ordinary animals, but some exceptional individuals can develop extraordinary abilities and even, in extremely rare cases, achieve enlightenment. This allows for intelligent animals to exist without automatically transforming them into a sapient race.
