Chapter 7: Magic and Honor
Part 1: The Power of God?
En el mundo conocido, los habitantes del mundo se han propuesto medir los poderes que emanan de cada ser. La primera escala existente es la Pagan.
The pagans have a natural scale, with which they measure the characteristics and abilities of each person. It ranges from the natural to the advanced. From there, the handling of sacred jewels is observed and an ideal being is defined that would be one chosen by the gods. The latter has never happened, but the legend remains.
When the potentates appeared on the scene, they created three different measurements.
The royal potentatum is a scale exclusively for humans. It begins with the soldiers of God and goes all the way to the saints. Saints can be warriors who fight exclusively for God or men who sanctify and dignify this level. Women are not taken into account as their heavenly mission to care for homes and generate new men.
The demonic scale was made to measure demonic beasts, because they were beings whose strength did not correspond to the pagan scale. Start with the parademons, the most basic demonic being, and work your way up to the Demon Lord, or higher level demon. It is not clear where the demons were born, but the potentate church is called to control them and keep them at bay. Demons are said to be children of false gods. The false gods, say the potentate holy scriptures, are demon kings who were defeated by the omnipotent radiance.
The Angellus scale defines the power of the angels of God, far superior to human values, ranging from the fighting angel to the cherub. The cherub is a combat archangel who surpasses that level and makes the power of the omnipotent radiance shine within him. Only that God would be more powerful than a Cherub. According to the potentates, it is possible that Redhorn, the red dragon, was a Cherub.
Recently, in the continental confederation of Bravía, the Order of the Protocols of Draconia was founded. There, the free beings formed the Bank of Draconia (The capital of the Bravia Confederation), where the powers are measured on a scale of their own, avoiding granting levels and emphasizing the characteristics of magicians, warriors, priests and other people, indifferent whether they are female, male, demi-beast or demi-human. Angelic and demonic powers are not measured because these levels have their own scale.
In Draconia, a name chosen in honor of the Dragon that faced the God of the potentates, this scale was regulated. It goes from the level of the forest, passing through Stone, Copper, Emerald, Silver and Ruby until reaching Gold. It is said that Some wealthy families buy their children sacred objects that help them increase their power. This has caused many adventurers to search for relics throughout the known world in order to sell them. Even in powerful countries, the Draconian currency is used due to its enormous commercial value.
-The art that aims to produce results contrary to natural laws, through words or intervention of divine or demonic beings, is magic. That is why I was never a magician. I studied the occult arts, until I realized the energetic constant. I observed it both in the churches and in the sects- Manuhell Baldovo said to his students.
Many gathered to hear his teachings, including Rouge Vermelha herself. Some magic practitioners, as well as shamans and priests also took the opportunity to hear him. It was impressive that in a land prolific in magical arts and magical beings there were those who denied such facts. For this Manuhell used the theory of "vitriol".
