Anomaly of Elemaran

Anomalies of Elemaran are specific, unique phenomena, be it a place, person, object or creature, that operate in ways unexpected under conventional scientific and magical understanding. They were originally written about in Encyclopaedia of Elemaran, a series by Skeller Gates, an Avenic researcher living in Staema Alera. Gates theorised that they were created by the god Kineva in the first 200 years of Elemaran's existence.
Over the years, Gates has identified as many as 84 objects he believes to be Anomalies.

Manifestation

Notable examples of Anomalies of Elemaran include:

• The Carmel, an enormous insectoid sea creature found off the southern coast of Syndal.
• The island that the city-state of Silnear is situated on, which sits inside a permanent magical deadzone caused by a Nullifiers
• The Seven Divine Objects, a group of items taking properties typical of the seven Gods present before the War of the Gods, of which only Kineva is still alive (although the existence of the Divine Objects is disputed).
• Staema Alera, the world's only naturally occuring Mana Capture System, and an incredibly efficient one at that.

There are also several that take the form of living people, notably Jay Spinner and Baul Carnago, two people who possess the souls of two gods killed in the War of the Gods (Edreni and Vada respectively), and whose souls are linked by an Arcane Bind, to the surviving magical structure that gave the gods their power, making them both exceptionally powerful mages. Jay and Baul are unique even among sentient anomalies in that they did not appear to first manifest in the first 200 years of Elemaran's existence, instead being born many hundreds of years later.
Anomalies that take the form of people have the special property of reincarnation, while the destruction of other anomalies is permanent. This is not to say that the people themselves reincarnate, only that their abilities remanifest in someone else.
