The Magic System at a Glance

Power comes from a soulhome, a magic building in a person's core. Its layout and materials determine their abilities, and cantae moves through the rooms to produce techniques.

• Soulhome: an inner-world building you design and furnish
• Sublime materials that shape what the soulhome can do
• Cantae (mana/qi) generated by materials like a magic tree and routed through rooms
• Soulcrafting competitions for high-level materials
