This is only the first major realm for now.
1. Aetheris: Awakening
The Aetheris realm represents the initial awakening of aura, where the cultivator learns to sense, gather, and control Aura. Aura must be gathered from the surroundings, and its compression becomes key to progression.
Minor Realms:
Ephemeris: Begin to gather ambient aura from the air, sensing its flow for the first time. The cultivator focuses on maintaining a stable aura field around their body, like a gentle breeze.
Luminis: Aura gathering becomes more efficient, creating a visible shimmer around the body. Control over energy is increased as the cultivator learns to direct aura internally.
Novaris: Aura compression begins in earnest. The cultivator must now compress the aura into small, dense clusters, creating a faint glow around their skin. This step requires immense focus and patience.
Solaris: The cultivator learns to fuse multiple aura clusters together, amplifying their power. This fusion enhances basic abilities such as strength and stamina.
Astralis: The aura becomes more tangible, solidifying into a dense, visible energy. The cultivator now has the ability to manipulate the aura outside their body, forming protective barriers or enhancing physical strikes.
Celestis: The aura density multiplies, and it begins to affect the surroundings. The cultivator can now use aura to control small environmental elements, such as influencing wind direction or generating mild pressure fields.
Vesperis: Aura can now be woven into attacks. Basic weapons like blades or arrows can be enhanced with aura energy, increasing their potency and range. This step sees the cultivator mastering the offensive use of aura.
Zephyrus: The aura is now solidified into a weaponized state, allowing the cultivator to form temporary weapons or objects entirely from aura. These constructs have limited durability but are highly effective in combat.
Flaris: Aura flow becomes near-constant, with minimal effort required to maintain control. The cultivator can now access their full aura reserves at will, enabling continuous use of aura-based abilities.
Aetherion: The final stage of the Aetheris realm. Aura compression reaches its peak, and the cultivator can now fully integrate the aura into their being. This allows for sustained physical and mental enhancements, marking the true beginning of mastery over aura.
THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST REALM!!!
