Essences | NovaTerraVT

In the World of Novae Terrae (Nova Terra), a wide variety of Magic, Tools, Artifacts, Powers, Relics, Gear, Weapons, and Origins exist to assist the Good, the Evil, and the Brave.

Magic

Often caught in the war-of-the-mind when it comes to deciding if Magic-Users should be exiled as villains, or praised as heroes. Magic's original name is Hex, which relates to the 6 original Magic-Types.

Magic greatly changes the tide in conflict, travel, and even everyday life.

Gear

Gear has always been with man, ever since the very beginning. Even though it has evolved over the years and Magic-Users have become more common, Gear still stays a very valuable asset to Magicless and Magic-Users alike.

Tools

Tools are usually easy-to-use and simple bits of machinery and mechanisms, but they come in all kinds, shapes, and sizes. Tools may not as unique and powerful as Relics and Artifacts, but even a Magic-User can appreciate a good handy Staff-Repairing tool.

Blades

In the world of Magic, Blades are still a very-valuable form of weaponry as they're easy to use, but hard to master.

Ranged

Ranged weaponry helps those who are weak in the front-lines and prefer a more ranged-perspective.

Orbital

Orbital, which primarily consists of Staffs, Grimoires, and Talismans, helps show their significance in this world, as the largest branch of weaponry that supports Magic.

Classes

Every being in the universe has a Class that helps define what they're good at, have it be with Blades, Magic, Ranged, or Mind.

Work-Classes

Work-Classes help the work-force of the universe excel at certain jobs to produce, create, and bind the best they can.

Omega-Classes

Omega-Classes are only given to a few that complete the 'God-Trials'. These few beings that 'ascend' unlock their full potential of their class and become a force to be reckoned with.

Magic-Types

There are many Magic-Types to compliment nearly every stat, attribute, and moment in life.

The original 6 Magic-Types are:

1-Fire, 2-Water, 3-Air, 4-Earth, 5-Space, and 6-Dimensional

Mana
Nearly all Magic revolves and uses Mana. Beings can be born with Small, Large, Unlimited and/or no Mana-Pools which can usually be increased by many different means.

Energy

Energy is more rare than Mana but is still a resource used by a handful of Magic-Types, which relies on other sources to fuel the output and effectiveness of some Magic-Types.

Mana-Less

With Mana flowing around everywhere, it is still possible for a being to be born without any Mana. Mana-less can still use Magic through Rituals, certain Powers, and Curios but will most likely be unable to gain Mana throughout their life.

Power-Types

There are many different kinds of Powers that are in the universe, and many beings can use them due to them not requiring Mana to use.

There are 13 different categories for Powers. From Longevity and Cures, to Law-Bending and Stat-Increases.

Tiers

Powers have their own tiers, from 1-10+. All Powers can achieve Tier 10, but are very difficult, and are very rarely at max level unless you dedicate a lot of training and time into each Power.

Some Powers can be ascended thanks to a couple means, one being a certain Power that increases the Level(s) by 1, called 'Cheat'.

Each Tier-Up in Powers increases the Effectiveness, Output, Duration, Speed, Cast-Time, Size, AOE, Damage, and Limit, for each respective Power.

Artifacts

Filled with Magic, Energy, or left without any Resource, Artifacts can be expensive or dirt-cheap, but all provide anywhere from Weak-to-Powerful abilities and stats to the wielder. Every being has at-least one of these man-made objects.

Relics

Dug up from the ruins of the past, and said to have been crafted from the souls, heart, emotions, and body of old gods and goddesses, Relics will always hold an advantage over most Artifacts. Relics can both make or un-make the universe itself.

Tools

With being lesser than Artifacts and Relics, Tools do still emit itself as a good helping-hand to many. They also give a good heads-start to ones that are just starting their adventuring and are still useful to seasoned veterans.
