This auxillary chapter discusses on some major lore definitions. They will be essential to comprehend before reading the next chapter to avoid confusion; They include:
1. Ether: As the fifth element of life, Ether exists far beyond the boundaries of the natural world and conventional human understanding. It is the fundamental cosmic fabric from which all of creation is woven. Furthermore, Ether serves as the absolute source of the supernatural; every otherworldly entity harnesses one form of this mystical energy or another. Among humanity, however, only a rare and gifted few are capable of tapping into and wielding Ether.
2. Exorcists: This classification refers to those exceptional humans who have awakened the ability to channel and manipulate various forms of Ether energy. Within their hidden society, Exorcists are strictly categorized into seven distinct ranks, ascending from the lowest to the highest echelons of power: Eta, Zeta, Epsilon, Delta, Gamma, Beta, and Alpha. Yet, whispered legends circulate throughout the Medium world—mythic tales of transcendent individuals who have allegedly shattered these established limits and surpassed even the illustrious Alpha rank.
Forms of Ether Energy: Although it is the universal building block of existence, Ether manifests in several distinct forms, each granting unique and formidable abilities to its wielder. Ordinary supernatural entities inherit their specific brand of Ether manipulation innately, bound to the inherent traits of their particular race.
Conversely, humans and "special-grade" entities dictate their form of Ether manipulation through rigorous physical conditioning and profound energy mastery. This intrinsic, personal connection grants them an incredible capacity for continuous evolutionary growth.
These diverse manifestations of Ether can be categorized into five primary disciplines. While inherently equal in their raw, foundational strength, they differ vastly in their ultimate potential for growth. Ranked from the highest to the lowest ceiling of potential, these classes are:
Divine Energy
Demonic Energy
Celestial Energy
Cursed Sigils
Elemental Energy
