Catalurgy: Flow from the gods

Physical / Metaphysical Law | May 8, 2022

Catalurgy is magic -- powered by Ichor, the blood of old dead gods. Ichor comes in 3 variants, causing 3 specializations of Catalurgy: Genesists, Transmutists, and Aurists.
First Blood

Tradition / Ritual | Jan 29, 2023

A harrowing first person example of a Catalurgist-to-be receiving their first dose of Ichor into their body.
Psychosomatic Inversion

Condition | Sep 11, 2022

A deadly disease affecting the most common type of Catalurgist; it forces them to re-experience all their past physica trauma, as old wounds and past injuries open and occur once more.
Burnout

Condition | May 8, 2022

When a Catalurgist does magic, Burn occurs. If they do this too long, attempt too much at once, or try something beyond their natural limits, this Burn may lead to Burnout.
Ash Halls

Building / Landmark | May 9, 2022

When a Catalurgist pushes too hard and burns out, the Ash Halls are here to provide end of life care and ease their passing.
Transmutist's Journal

Item | May 9, 2022

A simple journal, perfectly understood by the Transmutist that holds it -- they can then use Catalurgy to write within the journal simply by thinking, and changing the contents within.
