Terms

Active: People that have a strong connection to the power and can use its ability at will.

Babel: Rare type of magic lets the person understand, decipher, and communicate in any language.

Boomer: Extremely rare form of magic lets the person create explosion out of thin air.

Cog: One of the most popular magic types. Let's the person use their magic to tap into their intelligence in certain fields causing them to be geniuses. Also known as fixers but those are usually low-level cogs.

Crackler: Capable of harnessing, controlling, and releasing electricity at will. More powerful types can draw out energy from the air and generate their own lightning. Also called Edison.

Dymaxion Nullifier: Is a device that was built by a cog to neutralize any magic in a small area. Only one cog knew how to create the device. Since his death no more of these devices have been created leaving only 57 of them with two of them being big enough to accompany everything in 2 miles. These are mostly used in prisons and court rooms.

Dolittle: Active with the ability to communicate with animals and even take over the animal's body if the active is strong enough. It is rumored that a strong enough person can even take over another person's body. They are also called Beast men and Beasties.

Fade: Capable of walking through solid objects at will. They can lower their density so that they can phase though anything even bullets. They are the opposite of Massives.

Gravity Spiker: Also known as a Heavy, is one of the most common active types. They can change and alter gravity. Such as make a pallet of bricks weigh as much as a feather or cause up to be down and left to be right. They are usually used in construction but are also good in combat since they can become mobile artillery units and can wield the heaviest weapons with ease.

Grimnior Society: Is a secret society that was first founded to help protect people with magical powers. But recently with more people having magic they make sure that people do not use their magical powers unjustly. They do not work for any government agency, but they have been known to work with different governments whenever actives misuse their powers.

Healer: One of the rarest type of active and the most popular. As the name states they can heal anything and they usually use their powers to get rich.

Icebox: Can lower the temperature to freezing and can manifest ice shards at will. Stronger ones can even freeze people solid on contact or even produce ice walls out of thin air. They are also incapable of being harmed by the cold.

Justice: They can tell if you are lying or not and are found a lot of the time working for the government. The only people it doesn't work on is mouths.

Kanji/Spells: First used by the Japanese in the 1920's but are now used by anybody who has knowledge and a knife to increase certain attributes like healing, brute strength, and even taking on an entirely different power but that usually takes a few of them carved into your skin. They can also be drawn on to almost any surface, but it is believed that carving them in is more effective. Recently the military has been letting actives carve spells into their weapons and armor to give them advantages such as fire, ice, explosive force, and gravity spells on bombs and missiles.

Lazarus: Can bring the dead back to life as long as they have a head. Depending on the status of the body the brain will slowly degrade till the body is nothing more than a snarling beast that attacks anything it can find.

Mover: Uses Telekinesis to move things with their mind. The stronger the mover the more things they can move.

Mouth: Can make people do what they say, but not really. They can only make people do things that they normally would do like they couldn't tell an innocent kid to go kill somebody or have a dedicated man cheat on his wife. But a strong one might have enough juice to have you doing his bidding.

Nixie: Rarest magic, there has only been one confirmed case. They can create black holes big enough to wipe out entire villages. A spell has been made by the Grimnior society to use this power and it is one of their greatest secrets.

Pale Horse: The opposite of a healer. With a single touch they can cause you to die in anyway that they can think of. A strong one might just have you die right on the spot.

Passive: Is someone who cannot access their full magical capabilities like a passive healer will just be able to speed up a healing process.

Peace Ray: Is a massive tesla weapon created by Nikola Tesla they are used all throughout the world and now they are placed on almost all war ship larger than a light cruiser.

Power: Is a living being that grants people the ability to use magic and when we die it absorbs all the magic that person collected over the years.

Readers: Can read peoples thoughts depending on how powerful they are depends on how deep in the brain they can go. A strong one is also able to broadcast thoughts and memories to other people.

Ringer: Who can change their appearance and voice to mimic another. Extremely rare.

Shard: Can modify and morph their bone structure at will.

Summoner: Is an active who can bring beings from other worlds to do their bidding. These creatures for the most part either look like satanic creatures or angles from the sky. They can range from small monkey like creatures to massive dragon like beings that can destroy entire towns. These creatures are great for spying and finding people but are also good in combat. When they are destroyed they turn into ash and are sent back from where they came from ready to be called again.

Traveler: Can teleport vast distances if they know where they are going. All travelers have grey eyes. Travelers are a bit rare not due to there not being enough of them born but mostly it is due to them not having full control of their powers and they end up accidently killing themselves by teleporting into objects such as walls, floors, people, and animals such as insects. Strong enough travelers often can visually see their surroundings in their head so that they do not need to see where they are going.

Torch: Most common type of active. They can conjure up fire ball and launch them at will. They are also able to control any flames in their immediate area. Cannot be hurt by flames.

If the person has a good enough connection to the power, they can cross over into other types of active capabilities. This is a rare skill to learn and it is complicated and life threatening. Some powers are easier to acquire than other depending on what you were born with. Like being born a gravity spiker makes it easier for them to have brute strength and the skill of fades and massives. While it would be harder for them to gain the skills of a mouth or a traveler. Also, it is easy for people like healers to have some ability as a pale horse and an ice box might have an easier time gaining the ability of a torch and vise versa.

The next chapter should be out within the next few minutes and it will move the story along.
