[X] Creation of Glory Magic
-[X] Authored Act
Glory Magic is a form of Magic which draws on the power present in a beings Soul. By channelling the power inherent in their Soul, the body is passively enhanced, becoming stronger, tougher, having a hardier constitution and greater vitality, allowing them to weather disease and endure age more gracefully, and their reflexes, perception, and dexterity improve, allowing for a single warrior to keep track of and match an entire group of foes in combat, or pin a distant foe to a wall with a thrown spear, and enhances the mind to be able to process all this information and make swift tactical decisions on the battlefield. When actively channelled, Glory Magic allows its users to create golden Constructs, based upon the image the user has in their mind at its creation, be it additional arms, a pair of functional wings, or a spear as sharp as any they have wielded, but they fade a mere handful of seconds after leaving contact with their creator. Training in the use of Constructs can allow for the development of a wide variety of techniques.
The Soul is strengthened through the collection of information, whether it be learning from a book, the memory of a hard days work, or a first kiss, these details (henceforth called Deeds) empowering the soul with their weight, and allowing for greater strength to be drawn from Glory Magic, whether it be greater passive enhancements or larger and stronger Constructs. Greater Deeds, such as single-handedly besting an army, or slaying a great beast, hold more weight, and therefore, give more power to the Soul of the user.
In the event a Necromancer uses their magic to siphon Deeds from the Soul of one being into that of another, the process inherently twists and corrupts the beings Glory Magic, turning it into Vile Magic, the Golden Light of Glory replaced with a dark, sickly purple, and the passive enhancements and Constructs become unstable, the imbalance in attributes causing those so empowered to become clumsy, prone to breaking objects due to lacking the dexterity to control their strength, or themselves, due to lacking the reflexes to avoid slamming into walls when running at full speed. Their Constructs, too, do not form correctly, rather than the finely shaped tools of a Glory Magic practitioner, a Vile Magic user can only form blunt clumps of power, bludgeons and oversized claymores the most delicate their stolen power can manage.
[X] Divine Act: Skii descends upon the mortal world as a cloaked figure, his body underneath made of pure starlight, and trains Prentis and his followers in the ways of battle, adventuring, wilderness survival, the definitions of Glory, and how to use Glory Magic. Just before he leaves, he warns his followers of the dark depredations of Necromancy, and blesses Prentis's followers with a streak of Gold in their fur, to symbolise their connection to him.
