Magic: Chloro Magic

Gander possesses the ability to manipulate and control plant life. This magic allows him to influence agriculture, manipulate crops for wealth, and shape the very land to suit his empire's needs. His control over plant growth extends to rapidly growing forests, crops, and even poisonous plants, which he uses to maintain his grip on the economic landscape. Though this power is primarily used for economic advantage, it can also serve as a dangerous weapon, capable of ensnaring armies or creating vast fields of toxins.

2. Malister Merovia, the Golden Liege

Magic: Numero Magic

Malister can utilize a method of predicting the future, understanding the present, and exploring the past by focusing on numbers and equations. By analyzing mathematical solutions and number patterns, the user gains insight into various aspects of time and can offer solutions to current problems.

By analyzing numerical patterns, he could predict economic trends, market shifts, and fluctuations in wealth, allowing him to make accurate financial decisions and ensure the prosperity of the empire. This power would also help him optimize resource allocation, avoid financial crises, and provide strategic advice to the Sceptre Council. Additionally, Malister could manipulate markets by foreseeing shifts in value, subtly influencing the economy to strengthen the empire or destabilize rivals, making him not just a master of wealth but a formidable strategist.

3. Laristor Erisius, the Alexandrite Liege

Magic: Illusion Magic

Laristor wields Illusion Magic and it allows him to become virtually invisible or shift his appearance at will. With this power, he excels in covert operations, espionage, and deceit. He can also create elaborate illusions to mislead enemies or hide important secrets. The magic allows him to bend light and shadow to distort perceptions, deceive allies and foes alike, and manipulate others' senses to serve the empire's secretive needs. This magic extends to his strategic mind, making him a master of misdirection and stealth.

4. Saktor Tarkresh, the Amber Liege

Magic: Might Magic

Saktor's has Might Magic, which grants him the ability to enhance his physical strength, endurance, and resilience. When activated, his body becomes like iron, impervious to most forms of attack and capable of withstanding extreme conditions. This power reflects his role as the fearless military commander, granting him not only invulnerability in battle but also an unshakable will. 

5. Telys Donotia, the Lady Azurite Liege

Magic: Hypersuasion Magic

Telys possesses the Hypersuasion magic, an ability that amplifies her oratory and persuasion skills to supernatural levels. When she speaks, her voice carries a hypnotic power that can sway even the most stubborn of minds.

She can manipulate the emotions and thoughts of those who listen to her, making them more susceptible to persuasion, or even implanting subtle suggestions.

This magic makes her an exceptional speaker in the Imperial Parliament and a master of negotiation, diplomacy, and political maneuvering. However, it also makes her a dangerous foe to anyone who seeks to challenge her influence.

6. Brovian Cryptoron, the Sapphire Liege

Magic: Judgement Magic

Brovian's magic is Judgement's Magic, an ability that allows him to read the hearts and minds of others, discerning truth from lies with impeccable accuracy.

This magic grants him the power to delve into a person's deepest secrets, exposing their motivations and emotions with a mere glance.

In his role as chief justice, this power allows him to render unbiased and fair judgments, as he can detect any dishonesty or malfeasance in his court. However, it also makes him feared, as few can escape his piercing gaze without feeling vulnerable.

When he detects a lie, his magic can cause physical pain or mental distress to the liar, overwhelming them with the weight of their dishonesty.

This damage manifests as a sharp headache, dizziness, or temporary paralysis, making it not only a tool for justice but also a method of punishing those who try to deceive him. The intensity of the damage depends on the severity of the lie and the resistance of the person being questioned. 

7. Osmo Arctera, the Pearl Liege

Osmo possesses the Knowledge Magic, a rare and incredibly powerful magic that allows him to access and store vast amounts of knowledge.

Through this magic, he can recall any piece of information he has ever encountered, even centuries-old texts, with perfect clarity.

His power is not limited to just knowledge retrieval; he can also record new knowledge, creating vast, living archives of all he learns. He can share this information instantaneously, making him the foremost scholar and advisor to the throne.

This magic also allows him to understand complex magical systems and foresee future events by studying the flow of information across time.
