Magic: Aveline wields the elemental power of Wind and shows a lot of potential at it, though she is currently Adept-level. Some of the feats she has managed are flying for a short while using her magic, pulling a small tree out of the earth by creating a small hurricane, and practicing her magic for a few hours straight.

Backstory: Aveline was born into the noble House Belere in a warmer region of Valmont. At the young age of 5, she got her elemental affinity, wind magic. Now, wind magic was quite common in House Belere, but Aveline already showed impressive potential at a young age, causing her to be chosen for training. And though it meant she was rather sheltered, because she didn't have time to go outside, her family was nice and supportive to her.

Aveline would study her magic a lot in an attempt to make her parents proud of her and prove herself. When she wasn't practicing, she was playing with her brothers or sisters, which is where her personality flourished in addition to her magic. After all of her training, Aveline decided to apply to the Academy of Luminos, hoping to further improve, but also make friends and work with her peers.

Setting: The world is a medieval fantasy earth divided into two opposing realms: Light and Darkness. The realm of Light holds many diverse races, including humans, elves, dwarves, merfolk, dragonkin, and demihumans. Meanwhile, the Realm of Darkness is dominated by corrupted humans, alongside enslaved vampires, orcs, ogres, and other species.

Every individual in the Realm of Light wields one elemental power given to them by the gods. These elements and their respective gods are Fire (Volcanis), Ice (Glacielle), Water (Oceon), Earth (Petran), Wind (Aethros), Thunder (Raijara), and Light (Celestria). Light magic, given by the god Celestria, is the rarest and most powerful element in the Realm of Light. A human knight order clad in radiant gold armor, called the Golden Order, governs the Realm of Light and wields Light magic, making them unmatched in strength.

The Realm of Darkness used to have many demonic gods who gave people power through rituals and sacrifices. These disappeared a long time ago and now it's ruled by Kairos, the sole god of the realm. Kairos gives the inhabitants the element of "Change". Change manifests as blue flames, capable of altering reality itself. There also is an order that rules the Realm of Darkness, the Order of the All-Seeing Eye, serving as Kairos' exalted Champions. Knights of the All-Seeing Eye wear silver armor adorned with glowing blue markings, symbolizing their divine allegiance.

Elemental gods of the Light Realm are revered as protectors, guiding their followers through temples and rituals. While the Golden Order maintains peace in the Light Realm through strict codes and martial prowess, the All-Seeing Eye enforces Kairos’ will, often through fear and displays of transformative magi. The Light Realm societies thrive on harmony, with each race contributing unique elemental skills, but the Darkness Realm societies are hierarchical, with corrupted humans dominating enslaved species under Kairos’ will.

Cultures: Each capital, city, kingdom, and town has its own local knights and soldiers. The Golden Order only intervenes if the situation becomes dire.

• Western humans live in fortified stone cities with grand halls and vibrant markets inspired by chivalric traditions.

• Demihumans, bearing animal traits, form tribal communities, using enhanced senses and agility in harmony with their environments.
• Each Light Realm culture reveres its elemental god, shaping traditions around fire, ice, water, earth, wind, or light.
• Light Realm societies value cooperation, with cultural festivals celebrating elemental unity and racial diversity.
• The Realm of Darkness enforces a single, rigid culture under the absolute authority of Kairos’ chosen representative.
• Corrupted humans, enhanced by Kairos’ blessing, dominate the Darkness Realm, wielding reality-altering magic.
• Enslaved species—vampires, orcs, and ogres—serve under the corrupted humans, bound by Kairos’ will.
• The Order of the All-Seeing Eye enforces cultural uniformity, with rituals glorifying Kairos’ transformative power.

Magic Academy: The Academy of Luminos is a prestigious magic school in the Realm of Light, located in a major city in Valmont. The curriculum includes Elemental Theory, Practical Magic, Divine Rituals, Combat Casting, and Alchemy, with specialized classes for Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Light, but also Mixed-element classes to foster teamwork. Exams include written tests on magical theory, practical demonstrations, and duels. Light magic students, being rare, receive elite mentorship from Golden Order knights.

Students are ranked by proficiency: Novice (1-10), Adept (11-20), Elite (21-30), and Master (31-40). Rankings are determined by annual trials testing spell accuracy, power output, and elemental control.

Failure to progress past Novice by year three results in expulsion to maintain the Academy’s standards.

The color of the colored skirt/pants and capelet depends on the element of the student.
