All humans receive magic at age fourteen, on Dorskina's Day. A grimoire is formed from their soul, which they use to learn and cast spells.

The spells are received from the Avatars, the gods of this world. They will spend a century with humans, and then leave for one millennia, not interacting at all. Currently, the world is in an era of the millennia, where the Avatars are not interacting with humans at all.

The ten Avatars are as following:

Dorskina, Avatar of Power

Sphere of Strength

Dorskina's magic is given to any fourteen year old who first gains their grimoire. Their spells are basic, such as the ability to expand ones senses, make themselves physically stronger, or generate lights, and can be improved upon with meditation and invocation.

Gretian, Avatar of Life

Sphere of Nature

Gretian's magic is based on real life skill. To gain spells pertaining to baking bread, one must learn how to bake bread.
