Power System

⩩ This section contains every detail regarding the power system. Only return here if you forgot something since the web novel will not mention it every single time. 🍵Grab a tea since this will be quite long.

Arcana————⸝⸝

Arcanas are what we refer to as blessings in this world. These cards appear randomly or upon the death of an Arcana-blessed individual. There is a chance that someone will be an Arcana-blessed as long as they obtain a card without an owner and are highly compatible with it. When someone is partnered with an incompatible card; there is a chance for them to be corrupted.

The Arcanas are divided into 22 pathways, ranging from THE FOOL to THE WORLD. These cards grant their holders abilities by allowing them a glimpse of divine authority. However, this power comes at a cost, as Arcana-blessed individuals often suffer from insanity and corruption.

Getting the same arcana card doesn't mean receiving the same abilities. There is a chance that you and the other will receive the same essence of ability, but a completely different function. For example; The fool symbolizes deceit and naivety. Thus abilities related to this can be related to deceiving people or illusions.

Basic: A person only got the basic skill of arcana blessing

Ascended: Person was able to withstand and break through the limit of their arcana. A person can ascend multiple times; however do note, the more you try to ascend, the easier one will be corrupted.

Uniqueness————⸝⸝

In public, uniqueness pertains to an unusual magic that does not come from the arcana blessings. These beings are considered irregular or potentially blessed by a divine being directly. 

.

Artifacts————⸝⸝

Artifacts are items that have been exposed to Arcana abilities for extended periods, resulting in anomalous properties, granting these items the same arcana ability from the original owner. Artifacts had their own intelligence and soul- such tools can either be useful or bring danger when used.

.

Corruption————⸝⸝

Everything in this world is tainted by corruption, but its influence is particularly potent when associated with divinity such as Arcana and artifacts. Although most arcana users do not directly inflict corruption to others; corruption instead comes from when a user overuses their own arcana abilities. Prolonged exposure to corruption can drive individuals to madness, eventually transforming them into monsters—or cosmos. 

.

Cosmos————⸝⸝

Refers to the harmful influence exerted by deities or otherworldly entities. Existence who also succumbs in the arcana is considered 'Cosmos'. Cosmos entities had strong affiliation to corruption, and can even inflict one to others.
