The Cosmos .

The Universe is a living breathing creature, which we often call "God". With it merely being more aware of what makes up our body, then we are of our own cells.

Galaxies are its organs, planets and stars are its cells, and lifeforms are bacteria. As life, like bacteria, can be either helpful or detrimental to the body.

However, from there, the Universes make up the body of the Cosmos, itself, which is also a living Entity.

There is a planet, called Chrome, which exist in every dimension, and is fixed in the same exact spot. This world has no beginning, nor end, and even exist outside time. Progressing by it's own rules.

Chrome exists in every universe, at the exact same point. Its a single cell of the Cosmos' brain, offering each universe their own conciousness, as an aspect of the Cosmos' personality. Making each "God" of every universe, both separate entities, while part of the same whole.

A Galaxy is made up of trillions of Celestial bodies. Such as stars, planets, and moons. With Universes ranging from a single world, to thousands of galaxies. Size truly doesn't matter.

Pocket Dimensions, can be thought of as Fetuses, inside its parent universe.

With Black holes forming, each time a new dimension appears. And is much like when the universe conceives a child. The gravity well feeds more matter into the developing universe, until the black hole dissipates, which is effectively when the new universe's umbilical cord is cut.

Once the universe finishes developing, it manifest its own Time Vortex, no longer connected to the parent universe.

Most of the time, these young universes will still be connected to the parent universe, by way of a stream of spiritual energy, called a "Leyline".

Leylines are what bind "Multiverses" together. With dozens to thousands of universes, and trillions of pocket dimensions. Some parasitic pocket dimensions, such as Royal Fae and Shinigami, will attached themselves to these Leylines, and "feed" by collecting "bacteria", AKA lifeforms.

These parasitic dimensions, operate much like cosmic fleas. Which is a particularly fitting analogy, given a Leyline is much like a circulatory system, for the Cosmos. With the "Canon Universe" acting as the artery.

The "Canon Universes" are exact depictions of each franchise. Such as retcons, Reboots, and alternative Timelines, of each piece of "Real World" Media.

To Make a Canon universe, a dimension must split off from a Leyline, and start it's own Leyline. Which usually happens when it is "Retconned" or "Rebooted" out of the multiverse, by the actions of Bacteria.

So there are "Canon Universes" for each "Event" from Detective Comics. As well as each movie, show, and cartoon.

Along with Marvel's Cinematic Universe, then more for each time the studio claimed "A Skrull did it", along with other retcons or reboots. plus "Else World" Comics, and other alternative reality, stories.

There is even a "Canon universe" where the Doctor is "half human", and another where they are the "Timeless Child", and another depicting "Pete's World". As all three got "Retconned" into their own universe. Departing from the "Classic Who" Universe, which had several parting Leylines of its own "Retcons". Usually caused by Time Lords or Daleks. Who never realized they were creating Leylines, not destroying realities.

For example, their are dimensions Scarlet Witch created, which are still out in the Cosmos, as their own "Canon Universe".

Each of these Multiverses are the equivalent of an Organ, for the Cosmos. With the Leyline being what circulates the "blood" through each artery of a "Canon Universe". Then the Main universe is the Heart. With the combining worlds of Chrome making up the Cosmos brain.

The void, between multiverses, is a reality of pure energy. Acting like the water in the body. This is a reality made of pure thought, and endless blissful feelings, where the Eternal Dragons reside.

However, there is an additional black layer of the void, sometimes called the "Ether". This acts as the skin of the multiverse. Where lower gods act as white blood cells for a multiverse... and devils act as its diseases. As well as, Shinigami and Royal Fae, acting as parasites. Some more symbiotically then others.

Then each individual universe has it's own "Subspace" , which is a type of membrane. Which is filled with all the universe's pocket dimensions, as developing cells.

Magic :

The Cosmos has a heavily engrained law of Physics, different then the "real world", called "Magic".

• Magical Cores :

All lifeforms have a network of magic, running through their body, often called "Chakra pathways". These are invisible to the naked eye, and most medical equipment. However, The pathways twist around the veins, cycling magic throughout the body.

Most lifeforms have 3 magical "Cores". Which pump magic, like the heart pumps blood. Each producing a specific type of magic, which blends together, in the pathways.

There is the Brain, which generates "light magic", that is powered by logic. Then the heart, which channels emotion based magic, called "Dark Magic". As well as the Stomach, which channels their Elemental Affinity.

None of these types of magic are inherently "good" or "evil", and can be used for both.

Like how "Dark Magic" is more based on passions, from love to hate. It is reliance of extreme emotions, that make it dangerous. Often producing greater offensive spells, and harsher defenses. Usually intended to kill. While also powering most rituals, and magical crafts.

While "Light Magic" is completely void of emotion, but is considered the more "pure" of the two, because it often fuels fewer destructive spells. Focusing on healing and defensive spells, as well as nonlethal attacks, and spells for everyday chores.

Light Magic is also easier to use, while Dark Magic often meets resistance. So it is often believed Light Magic is how the universe wants people to use it, while Dark Magic is "unnatural" and "destructive". But truth is, both forms are a natural part of the universe.

Elemental Magic, is often viewed as the most neutral form of magic. As the caster is channelling an aspect of nature, and a Cosmic Force, they are particularly in tune with. Such as the element of "fire", and the force of "Chaos".

Some races have a 4th core, an extra organ, which channels magic in its raw form. This makes casting actual spells far easier.

However, most species need an Arcane focus of some kind, to cast more complicated spells. Such as; a wand, staff, or magical Crystal.

Many lifeforms have a 6th sense, which lets them feel and manipulate the universe in interesting ways.

More often then not, this comes out in an ability, unique to their species' biology. Giving them special powers, fuelled by magic to use, but is usually categorized as a biological ability. Although powered by magic, the ability is usually not magical itself.

Such as the most common ability, of channelling physical might into an energy based attack. That is often called "Ki" techniques, and can be used by nearly any lifeform with a 6th sense.

• Familiars :

There is a ritual, which allows lower creatures, such as animals or non Sapient monsters, to magically bond with their owner. Connecting their magical cores by a psychic link.

This allows the creature to live as long as their owner, and remaining in their prime for that entire time.

These magically bound animals are called "Familiars", and give their owners special powers. Owners can also understand their familiar as if they were speaking the same language. (Pinkie Pie's pet Alligator "Gummy" is a familiar. As is Fu Dog, from "American Dragon: Jake Long").

Depending on how much magic the owner has, some Familiars can physically speak any language their owner knows. As their body mutates to allow this. Often granting regular animals more complicated bone structures. Which allows them to use their paws like hands, as well as walk on their hind legs.

Sapient lifeforms can have up to 5 magical bonds attached to their Chakra Pathways. Meaning 5 familiars.

• Lyrium :

The major source of power (to fuel everything from flashlights, Houses, and even starships) is a mineral manifestation of Magic.

Most commonly called Lyrium it also goes by: Dragonite, Element Zero, Unobtanium, Dilithium, Crystals, and Naquadah. It's name changes based on the culture, but it is universally called "Lyrium".

Without it things like Faster Then Light Travel for Starships could not exist. It also works as the power source for enchantments and Runes. It is even turned into a powder and mixed with water to act as the binding agent for magical ingredients in potions.

Raw powdered Lyrium, dissolved in water, can be used to restore an individual's magic. However, it can also be extremely addictive and is usually mixed with other ingredients to cancel that effect.

• Paths of Magic :

These are the 3 paths, a magic user can take, with their training. Essentially how they choose to focus their abilities.

- Sorcerers: Often what defines them, is their miniscule spell list. They know few spells, but those spells are trained to the point of being overpowered.

- Wizards: Most notable as Scholars of magic, knowing hundreds if not thousands of spells, but not being particularly practised with them. They are more useful as researchers, and craftsmen, then combatants.

- Sage: An individual with as large a spell list as a wizard, but are proficient, if not masters, of all their spells.

• Magical Trades :

These are more specialized forms of magic users. Essentially how magic users choose to tap into their abilities.

- Mages: A traditional magic user, taps into their own internal magic. Having a limited pool of energy to tap into. Well the least rewarding style, it has the potential to be the most destructive, as well as the Easiest to learn.

- Warlocks: Uses interdimensional energies to alter reality, instead of their own internal magics. "Fates" HATE these guys, as by calling on forces from outside their dimension, they can alter destinies. However most Higher Beings love these guys, and are obsessed with unleashing them.

- Force Users: Magicals that tap into the Cosmic Forces of their universe. These individuals channel the energy of the universe they are in, not ones beyond it. This makes them tools of the Fates, although they still have a choice of what destiny they will follow.

However, tapping into their emotions, while channelling "The Force" is extremely dangerous, as it can be an addictive rush, which can blind the magical to all but the feeling of power. With more negative emotions, and pain, being the most intoxicating.

While Jedi focus on logic, "The Light Side", and Sith their emotions "The Dark Side", Revanist study a duality of the two, simply known as "Balance".

Revanist believe it is important to use emotions, but not to channel them in extremes. Rather to temper your passions with rationalizations. Thereby using both, but focusing on neither side. However this does not make Revanist automatically "right". As they can be just as cruel as a Sith, but as merciful as a Jedi.

- Will-Users: This is the hardest to control, as you are using your own magic, to guide the forces of the Universe, to simply wish things into existence. This is what most Higher Beings do, although to a much greater degree then Sapient lifeforms are capable.

- Clerics: These magic users channel the Divine powers of a Higher Being. Not a universe, their's or another's, nor their own internal magics. They rely on "gods" to answer their prayers, to turn them into spells. These magic users are some of the most powerful, as it's not their power, but rather the might of an infinitely powerful entity. However, this comes with the understanding of living by that being's will, and completing task for that "god".

- Druids: These magic users focus on channelling the power of their home planet. Rarely leaving their world, as they act as the guardian of nature. Often being born as a favored "pet" of their planet. Although this style of magic can be taught.

They can often see the flow of magical energies, often in the form of Phantoms or transparent beasts, due to a higher spiritual awareness, attempting to comprehend the different types of energies.

They have Dominion over all animals, able to speak with them, and even command them, not just their own familiars.

They often spend their youth travelling the world, until settling down in a single Forest.

Luna Lovegood, from Harry Potter, is a Druid... among other things. Having been taught the trade from her father.
