ARCANE

[The Crystal]

--------------------------------------

The Crystal, or Arcane is the last of the original Trinity, and the third of the Quadernity. For anything to exist, it must have mana present, even if it cannot cast it. Arcane is the least active of the Prime Gods, staying out of situations the other three may focus on. Its only goal is to regulate and preserve the manastream it rules over, preventing it from ever being corrupted. The mana present in any being is channeled through the SOUL; however, it may or may not be able to expend and cast its mana resource.

Arcane cherishes and shares its gift, any being that wants to use it may as long as they are not risking corrupting or putting strain onto its stream. If a being is feared to put strain onto the manastream, it will ask for something in return that can reasonably be done by that being. For those it fears will corrupt the manastream, it will refuse their souls and damn them to the Void. While once unforgiving in this, it now grieves every soul who tainted itself.

Arcane, The Mind, and Creation all work with each other regularly. After its partner had left it, the Golden Stag asked the Crystal for its mana to create angels based on its ex's appearance — as its children the Primals had gone out of control without their balance. The Crystal would only accept if the Stag gave it its knowledge, giving Arcane Creations and Destructions power of omni-intuition. Humanity also went to Arcane, imbedding itself into its manastream to become a Prime God itself, in return the Crystal asked the Mind for its sentience, its humanity, its morality, and its spirituality. He gleefully obliged, giving Arcane the power to pity and grieve.
