Rayweavers are a very closed and secretive sect, able to invoke and control the rays of light around them. The true origins of this power are known only to the sect elders, but it is widely believed that ancient magic is involved.
Many have tried to uncover the secrets of controlling light, but none more than the
Church of Ra and the Divine Light, as this knowledge would solidify their grasp on their flock. Still, Rayweavers have stayed clear from all religious groups seeking to take advantage of their abilities.
Control of the light is used mainly for healing purposes and Rayweavers are not only respected but also essential for the survival of the lower Castes, since the latter have almost no medical resources at their disposal.
Rayweavers’ code of ethics does not permit them to work for the
Conglomerates, so they try to keep their identities and abilities secret. There is only one known case where a Rayweaver betrayed the code and defected to the City. Although it is rumored that she is using her knowledge to create an order of Darkweavers, no one has ever encountered them.
In theory, Rayweavers can control the light to create a high-density beam that can be used as a weapon. Still, this is strictly prohibited by their code, as they believe that light should always create life and never destroy it.
