Thank you, Oni, for relaying that bit of information. So you all know, he'll be acting as my CO-GM through the course of this thread. On the topic of Elemental Guardians being slain. It is possible. Doing so would cause an event that would send devastation throughout Irriss. If an Elemental Guardian is slain, the core of their essence is returned to the Dreaming God to be recycled/reborn into a similar, if not identical, deity. The catastrophe of this matter would be that their Elemental Sphere would have its energy siphoned to the point of the Guardian's death; and along with it, the energy of the Servient Magi in their service. This energy would crystallize, creating a gleaming tower of condensed, tangible magic. 

The Blind Goddess and Dreaming God, however, [i]cannot[/i] suffer a fate like this. They're simply beyond being destroyed.

Welcome, btw, to those who've posted recently. ^^

New concepts that you guys might enjoy. First, since the Magi are so potent; I figured it'd be prudent to introduce other character 'categories' that would allow for those without a Sway or Ascendancy to contend with beings of such a caliber. "Auspices" will be the second form of gift granted to those without Magical capabilities. Auspices are gifts from the Blind Goddess and the Dreaming God. While Auspices aren't as versatile as Magic; they are considerably potent in their own right. Not everyone that is unable to utilize Magic will have an Auspice. The third is "Magitech" which will be provided to the world of Irriss, in a way, by a group foreign to the world (marooned there, if you will). I'll explain a bit more about these concepts in the morning.
