Magic System
There are 14 basic elemental magic in the Kaeyama. The magic is Fire, Water, Desert, Dark/Shadow, Light/Healing, Lightning*, Wind, Frost, Moon, Metal, Earth/Nature, Time*, Soul*, and Life*. When a person is born, the magic is naturally sealed until age 6 when they are taught to harness their abilities. But there are cases where the magic within certain people is permanently disabled through disease, genetics, someone sealed their abilities, they were cursed or the magic unseals at a later time.
The unsealing at a later time usually falls under humans, if they are one of those lucky ones to be born into a household that is still allowed to use magic. The reason for humans and their rarity with magic is due to Niatha the Goddess of Magic took the humans abilities to control magic after several magic wars and people being turned to stone. Now, this begs the question - can someone with sealed abilities get their magic back? They can, but it depends on some factors. If the cause is through disease or genetics, there’s nothing anyone, the Goddess of Magic included, can do.
If someone had sealed a child’s or adult’s abilities, there’s a 50/50 chance that Niatha may or may not help, especially with curses. The reason for the Goddess of Magic not being able to help with curse removal? Some are permanently bound and if she attempted to remove them, she could accidentally kill that person.
While Niatha can help magic users or potential magic users, she has to be careful on what she does on assisting a mortal. She doesn’t want to get in trouble with the mortal’s family/loved ones or her fellow Deities, especially Morrigan the Goddess of Death.
*Time, Soul, and Life magic is restricted to the Gods and Goddesses, Guardians (my term for Lesser Gods), or Demis.
**Lightning is an ability that isn’t used often because of its wild and destructive nature. If someone who isn’t a God, Goddess, Guardian, or Demi has this ability; they either use this magic in times of emergencies or to defend themselves from larger enemies. Or they allow their abilities to be sealed as they do not want to be a danger to others.
