Magic system (will update soon)

MAGIC

There have been some questions as to how magic came to work in this world, and how it came to be. Most of the magic isn't necessarily magic but just blessings that are granted by some of the gods. In the earlier days people would have fought and trained their bodies to gain tribute to have access to such powers, but after swift millennia the new generation of the gods came to be. The newer gods selected their followers by how much potential they would possess the battlefield or by how much faith they would present. Plantation of how it currently WORKS:

Blessings that are passed on to the followers or pact makers, by its very loyalty they show the certain god they praise. The forces the newer gods channel and control are affected by the wills of their followers – the higher the influence of a god can magnifying the very powers that dwell in the bodies in their followers and pact makers granting them superhuman abilities. This has an actual physical effect on the some who stronger faiths than others, slowly modifying their forms. The greater the amount of energy that eventually passes through their followers or pact makers, the greater the transformation.

-the connections that are held between a god and the follower is weaker than what the connections between the god and pact maker. Followers like most others are entitled to the same powers a pact maker has, but the connection can't grow stronger than a tenth of the god they worship. This means that the will of a pact maker can grow to the same percentage of the god they are packed with-

Oddly enough a fallen god can also have followers and persuade them and twist their minds and push forth their anger turning them into horrible, mindless, killing machines. This cans me dangerous because the people who partake in these forms of blessings have no emotions and over time their persona's turn into blank, featureless face. Others might grow a third eye that allows them to see the magic around them, or extra limbs, or a set of spines along their back. Remember the gods? They changed shape because of their immense power.

Now here’s how it really works:

Magic

The magic in this world is a little different that how most people are used to seeing; most of the magic in this world comes from the gods themselves. These so called gods bless the devoted people in this world into their divine worshipers on the planet giving them certain abilities that resemble their own to some degree.

The chosen worshipers

 

Chosen worshipers are people who have supernatural powers that are linked to one of the gods and have powers similar to what there god has. The chosen worshipers are connected all of the worlds there god controls and are the soldiers that fight for their gods beliefs.  The powers they receive from their gods themselves and they carry their message and word with them when they fight.

The main purpose for worshipers to exist is to fight for the god’s namesake and is there to protect the innocent humans that inhabit the earth. They fight against the monsters that inhabit the god worlds and the monsters that are on earth as well.

Each god has their own set of worshipers and they spread their name to the people on earth. They manage temples and churches that take up the earthly names they were given and act as the back bone for directing the souls of the dead to their designated heaven.

This idea stands firm for the Noire family as well; the family has had ties to the gods of light for as long as they carried the name Noire. Their grandparents had ties to these gods and the god’s powers spread to the children giving them powers.

Blood Pacts

 

A blood pact is when a human's spirit becomes connected to a god that was weakened under certain circumstances. The action of making a pact with a god is rare and this can only happen with weakened gods who are summoned to earth. When the pact is activated the human gains the powers of the god that they hold the pact with, people who do this become godlike and are primary targets of other gods.

In order for a blood pact to be initiated a weakened or fallen god is summoned by human sacrifice. Through this sacrifice the god inhabits the body of the sacrifice using it as a host body, once in the host body they cut their hand and become blood brothers with the person who summoned them.

When these god has made its pact with the person who summoned them, they gain are pushed up to a godlike status and have access to all of the gods abilities, world, worshipers, and the power that comes from there dimension. This ritual makes it so that the god can stay on the earth with the summoner using the host body as a bridge to keep them there, however if the summoner dies and has there soul taken they will convert back into nothing and the host body will fall to the ground as a soulless husk.

These rules are different for Lain Ashira and Alexander; because he was stabbed with the knife that was used to sacrifice Ashira the ritual had a different outcome. Ashira's spirit merged with Lain making them one and the same being, and because Alexander’s blood was still on the knife when she was killed; he became the linked with the two women as well. Difference being that because the ritual was done differently than the others, Lain and Ashira's connection to Alexander was slow. Over time the connection did grow stronger showing their progress in the dreams that he had every night about the woman of light that would appear in his dreams. When the connection was finally complete he became a target for the monsters of Lain's old world to prove that he was the rightful leader of the world, and was an enemy of all of the other Gods of light who wanted Lain to remain powerless.

Holy objects

 

Holy objects are weapons and items that are given to a certain few of worshipers that have proven that they are worthy to that god. These weapons vary on appearance and enhance the natural abilities of the people who wield them. These weapons feed off of the natural energy in the human body so normal people shouldn’t be using the weapon, if a weakened person does use this weapon it could lead to their death or could put them into a coma.

These weapons are sometimes pass them through the family tree, and they raise their children to use these weapons so they can keep their connections to their god strong.
