Essences

Essences are the essential components of life and existence.

Iether
Main article: Iether

Iether is the magical essence that imbues all forms of matter and energy in the universe. It is the basis of existence.

It is generated by natural wells of iether, souls, and itself. Different sources generate iether of different chroma - different color. Khimaerians can manipulate their own iether and iether of chroma similar to theirs in color and type.

Souls
Souls are the essence of self. They hold the essence of the person's self and personality, and is the source of their iether.

They do not exist in the physical realm, instead being rooted in the iethereal plane - a window, of sorts, through which the limitless iether beyond this plane travels through, changing to the color of the soul's chroma.

Vitha
Vitha is life force, life energy, vitality. It is what binds the soul to the body or physical form, what gives existence life.

All biological creatures have phases during which vitha grows, stabilizes, and decays. Espira have no vitha - they are existences of soul and iether.
