Ceres flew into the heart of the lands south of the Zodiac Stones. Plagued by endless storms, the region was unique. She had descended into a cave, unsure of it was carved by mundane or divine forces. It was deep but otherwise unremarkable. Being called underground was unusual, especially considering how remote and uninhabited the area is, but she tried not to question it. She eventually found a dry branch of the cave raised from another path downwards, which drained the water. Following it to a dead-end, she closed her senses and allowed her to act as a divine conduit. When she cast her sight out once again, she was standing in a cluttered room. Notes covered the walls and the newly formed wooden tables. Sirius had consecrated this room as the Augur's Legend. Sirius had some experience with magic, having created Xuanwu to bind celestial energies to telluric energies, and having helped witches also connect themselves to it. He had noted the presence of servants, witches, warlocks, and druids, along with other mortal magicians. They all had the potential to be tools of good, and should not be quick to dismiss any of them. But they lacked subtly. Even Druidry, while aligned with virtues, appeared to lack a certain finesse. He had taken some asteroid debris and formed into a crook. He had attempted to use it as a magic tool, but that did not satisfy his requirements. He needed to understand magic before he could truly create a system of it of his own. Thus, he created the Legend to monitor and record magic. He did not mean to be too intrusive with it, simply record the broad-strokes and particularly notable instances. However, while his holy site operated, he could still work on separate projects. Several subjects had his attention, but his connection to the Hir made Druidry a good starting point. Reaching out through his avatar and the Hir, he blessed druids with new power, drawing specifically from his essence. As druids of the guiding lights prayed to him, he whispered back, "Understand the zodiac, devote yourself to the virtues of one of the celestial animals under the stars in a place of druidic importance, and when you call upon a celestial animal you have formed a kinship with it will appear. It will not be impressive at first, but as you grow in piety, it shall grow too. Wish upon it, and it shall borrow your druidic power to serve you in ways that fit it. Go and share this knowledge freely." [hider=Story Summary] Sirius is interested in magic and creates his crook as a magic tool, but realizes something is missing. He obtains the magic domain, but nothing flashy happens with it. He thinks other magic systems are good, but lack finesse. He creates the Augur's Legend to learn more about magic to be better prepared to subtly manipulate it. The Augur's Legend is in a dry part of a cave somewhere deep into the Stormlands. However, for the time being, he can tinker with other magic systems and starts with Druidism due to his immediate connection to it through the Hir. He blessed druids with the power to make astrological familiars, and tells druids of the guiding light how to do so and tells them to spread the word about it. Starting: 5MP/5DP Ending: 0MP/2DP -5MP Claimed Magic Domain -1DP Created Augur's Legend, a holy site composed of a scattering of notes about magical activity. Map the Infinite I: This holy site monitor and records the locations, intensity, movement, and variety of magical energies. This is only capable of doing so for intense or longstanding (more than a decade) energies that are not being actively obscured. -2 DP Bestowed extraordinary ability, Zodiac Familiars -> Applies to all druids, but particular those devoted to Sirius. -> A person can manifest this after carefully studying the stars and the zodiac and devoting themselves to a particular zodiac that most matches their personality (zodiacs that do not represent a virtue take from the two zodiacs beside themselves, for example, newts are loyal and resilient) under the stars in a place of significance for Druidry or astrology. -> This power allows them to manifest a spectral familiar of the animal they devoted themselves too. Regardless of the animal, its size is determined by the druid and their skill and devotion, starting as the size of an adult human palm, but can grow up to fully encompass an adult human in the possession of a master druid. -> The familiar can manifest particular traits or behaviors through druidic wishes, appropriate the familiar. General traits include becoming tangible for brief periods of time or being able to separate from their owner for brief periods of time. Specific traits include wrens could monitor for dangers, newts could warm those who are cold. [/hider]
