Power System

Vyrkra: Basically magic. It was used by the gods to create the Terrestrial Realm. It is the physical manifestation of spiritual power and everyone besides The Will possesses it, although to varying degrees. Vyrkra can be used to enhance one's physical prowess or perform Vyrkra Arts, which are spells/techniques. Here's a tidbit; the word vyrkra rhymes with the same word that is used to measure the power of a popular ninja from anime. If you know what series I'm talking about then you should have a firm idea of how vyrkra works.

Vyrkra Arts: Because a lot of the lore of this story is heavily inspired by the Final Fantasy series most Vyrkra Arts function similarly to a lot of the spells of that series. For instance, in Final Fantasy the main fire spells are Fire, Fira, and Firaga. In Witch Tier the main fire spells are Avalo, Avaega, and Avagigos(notice they're named after Avalith?). Later in the series some of the stronger opponents can only be taken down in a similar manner to how some of the bosses are taken down in those games.

Terrestrial Arts: The "Physical" form of vyrkra. Terrestrial Arts are a subdivision of Vyrkra Arts that mainly comprise of attacks or techniques that take the form of solid matter. The power of Terrestrial Arts stems from the user's body, and when they are in tune with the planet they are on the potency of their Terrestrial Arts are intensified. Terrestrial Arts are much easier to master than Celestial Arts, however they are much weaker in power when used outside of the Terrestrial Realm.

Celestial Arts: The "Magical" form of vyrkra. Celestial Arts are a subdivision of Vyrkra Arts that mainly comprise of attacks or techniques that are of an ethereal, non-solid, form. Celestial Arts are a discipline that is general much more volatile and powerful than Terrestrial Arts. However, they are much more difficult to control and master, resulting in fewer individuals being able to harness most Celestial Arts to their full capacity. Being the more "pure" version of Vyrkra Arts, Celestial Arts are far more commonly seen during a heated exchange of Vyrkra Arts between two opponents. In the world of Witch Tier, Celestial Arts generally can only be used through the help of vyrkracite, or "Steam" due to the sophistication of these techniques. Celestial Arts are much more powerful and easier to control in the Celestial Realm.

M.O.D./Matter Optimization Device: Ever found it strange how in RPGs the characters can just magically store 99 swords in their pockets? In this universe I rectify that problem by giving most of the prominent characters mods or M.O.D. It's a cellphone sized device that allows them to materialize and store most objects after they initially scan it with them. These devices have ancient origins in the story.
