[16:26] (Faelaya) Firstly, you have God. Well, not god, but The Weaver.
[16:26] (Faelaya) He's the guy who spun everything out of his own veins to create the universe.
[16:27] (Faelaya) His veins became the Thread. Think kind of like... laylines.
[16:28] (Faelaya) He made everything, thus becoming the universe in itself. All the planets are connected by his arteries, things on the planet connected with his veins, people connected to the veins by his cappileries(spelling?)
[16:28] (Faelaya) Then you have the Demi-gods. They're people who've gained the ability to exist solely in thread form.
[16:30] (Faelaya) That's about the religion of Usiva. She's one of the Demi-gods, and is kind of like a Patron Saint of women and motherhood.
[16:31] (Faelaya) All of them have aspects, and while they generally keep their infulence on the planet they were born on, some happen to travel around and spread their beliefs.
[16:33] (Faelaya) Then beneath that you have the 5 main types of magic/religion.
[16:33] (Faelaya) The first one is the most popular. (Still haven't come up with a name for the group yet. x_x;)
[16:34] (Faelaya) They work through the Thread, and could generally be considered as priests. They channel the threads energy into different places, say into a wound to heal it.
[16:35] (Faelaya) They have the ability to see the actual Thread, and try to keep it healthy and blue-looking. (I'll mention more about the thread colours in a second.)
[16:37] (Faelaya) The second group are the worlds kind of mages. Instead of working through the Thread, they alter it. They can manipulate pieces of the thread to form a certain pattern, and once the pattern is complete, something like a bolt of fire would emerge from the centre.
[16:38] (Faelaya) This damages the Thread though, and areas where spells have been cast turn purplish until it heals over.
[16:38] (Faelaya) So, the first and second group pretty much hate each other.
[16:39] (Faelaya) The third group is the Inquisitors. They use both types. They're pretty rare to see about, and nearly all Inquisitors ascend to become Demi-Gods.
[16:39] (Faelaya) The fourth contains the various odd talents that some people pick up or create on their own.
[16:40] (Faelaya) Certana is one of them, who has the power of Audimancy to manipulate sound on a molecular level.
[16:41] (Faelaya) They're called Savants by the general public, but it's rare to find another savant with the same talent.
[16:43] (Faelaya) And then finally you have the bad guys. They wear gauntlets with jewels on which can contain the Thread, and they rip pieces off to store inside for later casting. Because of this, they turn the thread red, and if it isn't healed, it later dies and the affected area starts to shrivel up and die.
[16:44] (Faelaya) Despite the limitations of their power (Having to capture new thread to cast spells) they're easily the most powerful because they can use it to morth their own bodies, and also they can do a nasty thing called Body Sealing, where they cut off someone from the Thread in order to control them in a zombie-like fashion.
