Common Terms and things that are common in the world, you can only read the names if you like, but if you read the philosophy of The Witch, The Conjurer and The Knight, you can understand the philosophy of the characters that are attached to it. Nonetheless, there would be characters explaining it too, but this is detailed.
I. Philosophical Core
1. Witches {Hope is a value that is treacherous, placed on something that is transient}
Witches are individuals born with inherent magical abilities—curses, boons, word magic, and structure magic. Their philosophy centers around impermanence, skepticism of hope, and the natural cycles of creation and destruction.
Impermanence is Fundamental: Witches believe that everything in existence is transient and subject to constant change. Nothing is permanent; all things, whether physical or emotional, will inevitably transform or end. They see this truth not as a source of despair, but as a guiding principle for living fully in the present.
Skepticism of Hope: Hope, in their view, is treacherous because it anchors people to transient things, leading to false expectations and eventual disappointment. By placing hope in something impermanent, one invites suffering when that hope is inevitably shattered.
Embracing Change: They see power in adapting to the inevitable flux of life, rather than clinging to fixed ideals. To them, resisting change is futile, and true wisdom lies in flowing with the natural rhythms of existence.
Magic as an Expression of Cycles: Their magic reflects their worldview:
Curses and Boons: Can be used interchangeably for good or harm, transcending traditional moral distinctions. A boon can harm if misused, and a curse can protect if used with foresight.
Word Magic: Manipulates reality through speech, emphasizing the transient power of words. A single phrase can alter fate, but the effects are often temporary or conditional. Uni-verse: One song, One truth.
Structure Magic: Builds temporary, protective constructs that eventually decay or transform. This reflects their belief in the impermanence of all things.
Self-Reliance: Witches trust in their own adaptability and inherent power rather than external forces or rigid rules. They rely on their innate abilities and personal wisdom to navigate life's challenges.
Cycles of Nature: Witches view themselves as integral parts of nature's cycles, neither above nor below its processes. They respect natural balance and avoid disrupting it unnecessarily.
Emotional Discipline: Unlike common belief, witches do not rely on raw emotion to fuel their powers but instead wield their abilities with calm intent. Their mastery lies in controlled will rather than chaotic passion.
2. Conjurers {There is no Hope, but the permanent laws. If living is the constant search of awareness, death should be the answer. Hope and Laws only points to the impermanence of all things}
Conjurers are mages who approach magic through scientific research and rational inquiry. They follow a structured methodology akin to modern scientific methods.
Pursuit of Truth: Conjurers believe the universe operates under immutable, permanent laws. Their goal is to discover and master these laws. They view reality as a grand puzzle that can be deciphered through careful study and experimentation.
Scientific Methodology: Their magic is developed through a process of observation, hypothesis, experimentation, analysis, and conclusion.
Augmentors: Focus on enhancing their own bodies and directly integrating magic with their physical form. They see their bodies as personal sanctuaries, where research manifests as physical augmentation.
Manipulators: Study and influence their external environment, altering it through spells and controlled forces. They perceive the world as a canvas on which their research can be applied.
Rationality Over Emotion: Emotions are secondary to logic and knowledge in their worldview. While they acknowledge emotions as part of human experience, they do not let emotions dictate their actions.
Life as a Quest for Awareness: Conjurers see life as a constant search for understanding and awareness, with death representing the ultimate answer. They believe that achieving complete knowledge leads to transcendence. Uni-verse: One-song, One-truth. Laws are always there that describes the truth.
Control Through Mastery: They believe in controlling and harnessing the world through intellectual mastery and rigorous study. By understanding permanent laws, they can impose order on chaos.
Respect for Knowledge: Conjurers honor knowledge above all else. To them, ignorance is the greatest threat, and enlightenment through study is the highest aspiration.
Interdisciplinary Learning: Conjurers often collaborate across various fields of study, blending disciplines such as elemental magic, alchemy, and metaphysics to deepen their understanding.
3. Knights {Hope is in you, Hope to never surrender to the world}
Knights represent a more traditional, honor-bound philosophy focused on hope, resilience, and service to a higher cause.
Hope as Strength: Knights believe that hope is an internal force that drives one to persist in the face of adversity. Hope, for them, is not placed in transient things, but in ideals that endure, such as honor and virtue.
Honor and Duty: Their lives are guided by a code of honor and loyalty, whether to a deity, a kingdom, or an escort. They see their honor as a reflection of their inner strength and integrity.
Resilience in Adversity: Knights uphold the belief that true strength is found in enduring hardship without surrendering to despair. They view life as a series of tests designed to forge character and spirit.
Service to a Higher Cause: They act as protectors and champions of virtue, aiming to create a legacy of courage and righteousness. Their sense of purpose is derived from serving something greater than themselves.
Legacy Through Virtue: Knights strive to leave behind a lasting impact by embodying honor and inspiring others. They believe that their actions can inspire future generations to uphold the same ideals.
Communal Responsibility: Knights emphasize the importance of community, believing that an individual's strength is magnified through collective purpose. They see themselves as guardians of not only ideals but also people.
Endurance Beyond Death: Knights believe that true honor transcends mortality, with one's legacy living on in the hearts and minds of those they inspire.
IV. Hunters {Beware Good Hunter, the hunt has just begun}
Pragmatism Over Ideals: Hunters are driven by survival, pragmatism, and the harsh realities of the world.
Adaptive Strength: They believe in adapting to any situation, using whatever means necessary to achieve their goals.
The Hunt as Purpose: For many Hunters, the act of hunting is not just a profession but a way of life—a constant battle against the unknown.
