Way the judging of magic works: each person will be judged for their stages of the individual characteristics.
For example: a kindness wizard will be judged as [Intermediate suppression, Apprentice health and Intermediate protection]
>To advance to Intermediate grade one need to know their characteristics correct name.
>To use magic one need magic power: magic power is created from the soul, there are 3 layers of the soul.
The first layer provides the magic power one use to cast spells. It regenerate the fastest.
The second layer provides magic power for more passive spells(body enhancing and similar). Regenerate 10x slower than first layer. If the first layer runs out one will use the second layer to cast spells.
The third layer sustain the soul and create magic power for both layer above. After both first and second layer is out you will have to use this layer. Using this layer can cause soul damage or death and it won't regenerate.
>Wizard can combine different characteristics for different results.
>Human magic is usually more physical.
>Magic in monsters are different than humans. Monsters magic is much more free and has no characteristics to bind it.
>The traitless soul is special. One with a traitless soul will use magic like monsters and not human's.
[World building details.]
Monsters.
>Monsters are being made from pure magic. Due to their unique constitution they can cast more diverse magic. This can also make them heal faster with small scratches but also makes monsters more vulnerable to strong wounds. Kindness healing magic is 3x less effective for monster(Kindness magic has a strong suppression effect toward all type magic)
Examples: Monster can heal 5x faster than human from blunt wound or scratches but monsters will most likely die from medium size slash.
Beasts.
>Beasts are normal creatures that have absorbed a human soul. They can endlessly absorb human soul and grew stronger and smarter each time they do.
>Advancement for humans, monsters and beasts.
•Humans: When a wizard reaches high grade for all 3 characteristics they can gain another trait. To gain another trait they'll have to absorb a human soul with the desired trait.(Traitless and the same trait isn't allowed as there will be no effect)
•Monsters: monsters can absorb human soul for a big boost in strength. However if the monster soul is not strong enough they'll die when absorbing the soul. A monster king usually have 3 souls absorbed and is as strong as 3 wizards with high grade for all characteristics.
•Beasts: absorbing any souls will give them a small boost in intelligence, strength and lifespan. One soul is equal to 3 months of lifespan. Beasts magic is like human magic and they advanced the same way, just they don't need to know the characteristics name to advance.
>The wizard council.
To be on the wizard councils one must have at least one high grade characteristic.
>Civilization:
•Humans: around middle age.
•Monsters: around steam age.
•Beast: has no civilization.
>World map:
The human continent is the biggest, next is the monster continent. The monster continent is detached from the human's, only reachable after long day of sailing. Monster is at the south east.
>Each human city is in a contract with a beast, providing human souls every year for protection against other beast.
>Both wizard council and the monster civilization is in a contract with the giant spider.
>Wizard council goal is to protect peace and order, acting as the mediator for unnecessary conflict. Won't intervene unless necessary.
>Different minerals.
•Axatite: Extremely reactive to magic. Boost effect of characteristics.(Example: Bravery explosions-> bigger explosions.)
Exist in ore form.
•Lirroit: disrupt magic. Can disperse magic in a radius depending on size. Magic use near it is 50% less effective. Exist in ore form.
•Sorrat: contains natural magic power. Can use to carve magic spells on or as an emergency magic power source. The magic inside has no trait. If magic with trait is added in it'll permanently change to that trait. Exist in crystal form, rarest of the 3.
>A soul can't exist without a body, breaking after ~10 seconds. A body can exist without a soul, can't use magic. If someone soul break they could die or sustain heavy damage.
>Red king origin: the red king managed to unite the whole world under his might. When he finished conquer the world he was already old and start researching way to extend his life. He believed that as long as he exist an eternal prosperity kingdom will exist and tried to figure out a way for immortality. He found a greater goal in the research and stop wanting an eternal kingdom.
>Soul and void research: the research of the void led to the other world gate. K used this gate to pump magic power into the other worlds, creating the mana poisoning plague(the one MC has before he died on Earth). The only way to cure the plague is to have a soul which the other worlds doesn't have.
It's essentially cultivating magic power inside a person body and harvesting the soul+magic power when they die.
>Magic poisoning. Magic poisoning appear when ones magic is stronger than their body, turning part of their body to the color of their trait. Can be dangerous if too many part is affected.
>The Star crystals. Crystals that contain pieces of K soul also the way to resurrect him. Once a Determination wizard with enough strength dies he can resurrect from one of this crystal. Destroying it not carefully could led to damage similar to a nuclear bomb. A total of 4 of them exist on the 2 continents.
>Determination.
Determination isn't a trait. It's just pure magic power. Determination originally only has one characteristic which is survival.
>The ancient civilization: the civilization that experiment with magic. They experiment with magic and eventually created the monster race ancestors.
Their last experiment involve making determination a trait which succeeded as determination trait becomes a mutation. However they were to greedy and tried to make determination trait a war weapon, adding the war and destruction trait. This led to their destruction. The only survival of this that is still living till present time is the giant spider.
>Giant spider: after living for a long time it managed to accumulate all 6 traits. Since Determination is naturally found in magic it also can use it due to living for a long long time. It is also the one that halts human technological advancement and separates the monster civilization advancement from human's.
It creates souls parasites that latch onto souls and kill them while preserving the soul.
>Secret 4 characteristic. There is a secret 4th characteristic that is much stronger than the last 3, only appear from deep understanding of their trait.(only one person of each trait can have a 4th characteristic)
