welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

Name of Talent: Book of Baskerville Concept: Written and illustrated by her past family members and herself, Inglisse keeps a unique tome with her at all times. This tome is known as the Book of Baskerville and contains notes from her and her family's experiments and research with Talents, Unknowns, and Eldritch Energy. Inglisse's direct talent enables her to manipulate five different elemental aspects known as "notes". These elements or notes can only be manipulated when two or more have been combined. All notes have their own laws and limitations. The Book of Baskerville measures the best ways to mix and use two or mote notes. Each note is an element or aspect of the universe. Some notes trump other notes, gaining an advantage when paired against others, while most remain neutral. All notes can be broken down and include many components. The five notes are as listed below, acronym SAPAS: Sacramentum ♠ The Unknown. Anything that cannot be categorized among the other four notes naturally falls into a section best known as 'mystery'. Sacramentum has an advantage over the Mind (emotions, mental states, psychology) of individuals, but is weak to Sorcery (magic, spells, manipulation and law breaking of the natural world). Components include the eldritch, the void, abyssal energy, dark matter, abstract concepts, time, etc. Animus ♠ The Mind. Emotions, mental states, and psychology all belong in the category of the mind. Mental powers and anything relating to the mental powers and abilities of any living being makes up the section known as Animus. It has an advantage over the Psyche (soul, spirit, aether), which it often can directly control, but is weak to Sacramentum (unknown and mysteries), which are completely out of the control and understanding of the Mind. Components include thoughts, emotions, sensory, perception, learning, dreams, memory, etc. Psyche ♠ The Soul. The essence that ties the mind and the body together is the soul or spirit. It is the truest part of a person but is unseen by the naked eye. The psyche includes aether and spiritual energies. It has an advantage over Alchemy (the physical and natural world), due to the aether often dictating the workings of reality, but is weak to Animus (the mind) because of the mental limits having some power over restricting Psyche. Components include souls, spirits, aether, spiritual energy, heavenly bodies, astral projections, astral planes, etc. Alchemy ♠ The Physical. The natural world as everyone knows it is essentially the physical realm. It is the reality that most people are familiar with. It has an advantage over Sorcery (magic, manipulation) due to the fact that Alchemy typically sets the standard and the foundation of all magic, as well as puts in place the rules and laws that magic then breaks or bends. Without the physical, there is no magic. It is weaker to the Psyche (spirit realm, souls) because of the spiritual planes and aether generally having direct influence on the physical, oftentimes setting the foundation and happenings. Components include natural elements, atoms, energies and gases, heat, space, matter, etc. Sorcery ♠ Magic. Sorcery, or magic,is often defined as the creation, removal, breaking, bending, or changing of natural laws. It includes the supernatural potential innate to almost all beings in Skiagis, be it magic or abilities in some other form. Sorcery is strong against Sacramentum, as it brings the unknown to light and can utilize and manipulate it. Meanwhile, sorcery is weak to Alchemy, as its potential is defined by natural laws of the physical realm. Components include magical energy, summoning, transformation, creation, destruction, distortions, supernatural ability and knowledge, potential, etc. The basic laws of the tome dictate that elements can be broken down into their components, a process known as decomposing. Components can be processed and put back together in old or new ways, a process known as composing or composition. With the five elements specifically, crossover is possible and is the basis of this magic. Extra(s):♠ The book can be summoned to any Baskerville family member whenever they desire and can disappear to a spacial storage when no longer desired. ♠ Most family members who have possession of the book are granted a photographic memory to recall pages they have thoroughly read at will. ♠ The Book of Baskerville is potentially partially sentient, having an unconscious mind of its own. ♠ The Book can take a variety of scholarly forms, be it a grimoire or tome, a scroll, some mystical parchment, archaic runes on a wall, ancient etchings on a tablet, or an app on a cell phone. Positive Mechanics:♠ The Book of Baskerville offers a massive index of information on how to manipulate the five notes. This includes but is not limited to spells, transformations, potions, summons, constructs, manipulations, and just about anything. Having read the book allows the user to do just about anything within site rules. Outside of site rules, OOC permission is required. ♠ When present, the Book of Baskerville offers the family member +1 to their stamina aspect. Negative Mechanics:♠ Most advanced magic and spells within the book require a small portion of prep, be it ingredients, recall, or incantations. This requires time and energy. ♠ The user has to have read and memorized a page from the book to use it at will. ♠ The book tends to rearrange and reorganize its contents at random. The table of contents, index, chapters, and page numbers never remain consistent. This is a defense mechanism but poses a challenge to family members who wish to find a page again.
