Divinity

“If they are not watching, then why does the fire still burn when I call it?”

— Herald of Pyril

Divinity is a polytheistic religion centred on the reverence of many worldly gods believed to act upon the realm of Azura through unseen, indirect means. The gods of Divinity do not reveal themselves through physical manifestation or spoken word; rather, they are perceived through their blessings, curses, and phenomena collectively known as Summons. To followers, these gods represent elemental or conceptual forces—beings of influence rather than presence.

Divinity is widely practised across Tykonia, particularly in Larova, and remains the dominant religious framework for those who believe in the old ways of power through faith. Despite its breadth, only two gods are officially recognised by the Sanctum at present, though theological speculation suggests many more may exist.

Attunement

To interact with a god’s power, an individual must undergo a mystical alignment process known as Attunement, or Vitae, which can be done once they've reached their age of maturity (i.e., 18 for Humans). Attunement binds a person to one god at a time, allowing them to call upon divine forces through Summons—supernatural blessings or curses bestowed by the gods.

Unlike Spellcasting, Summons typically do not require the use of Mana to initiate. However, maintaining a connection to a Summon (especially in battle or prolonged rituals) draws upon the attuned individual’s Mana reserves over time. However, they can use spells that are specific to each god, as well. E.g., Pyril Divinators can use summons of Pyril and also Fire spells.

Attunement is not immediate; re-aligning from one god to another is a taxing process that may take anywhere from several hours to days. You may only be attuned to one god at any given time. Those who attempt to channel more risk, mental instability or spiritual disintegration. You may later specialise in a specific God.

By contrast, Severance—as practised in Grounding—removes all ties to Divinity, making further attunement impossible. To the faithful, Severance is a heretical rejection of the gods themselves.

Divinity Levels & Progression

Different levels have been established to identify your magical prowess and the summons' tier. All levels have different levels for armour usage and what tier of summons or spells they can cast.

Acolyte

With their mana pool, they can cast Acolyte spells. Divinators can use plate at maximum for armour. Paladins can use plate at maximum for armour.

Divinity Classes & Summon Slots

There are two classes of Divinity users: Divinator & Paladin. These different classes are given more spell & summon slots according to the balance.

By worshipping one god, they can gain their trust and gain access to newfound abilities. Although someone can worship as many of the gods as they wish, they can only practice one kind of divinity and one kind of elemental magic (e.g., a Pyril Divinator can only use summons from him & the elemental magic attached to Him, fire.)

Note: These are the spells & summons you know how to cast. The amount of spells & summons that you can cast before running out of mana depends on the level of spells or summons, how many times you use them and for how long before your mana depletes.
