Bulok

(a.k.a. Bug)

Bulok is an aspect of Dalyeric and a physical aspect. It revolves around all bugs and worms that play a part in decay, feed on organic matter or feed on living flesh. There are still some invertebrates that fall under one of Dalyeric's children, Zuvaath instead. They are generally separated by their diets.

Racial Manifestations

When Dalyeric gifted all lifeforms with their magic, each life form was capable of receiving two gifts. Each of these blessings would grant the lifeform a connection to a specific aspect and this connection could be utilized in a given way. These gifts were passed down to their descendants as well and eventually beings came to call these gifts Racial Magic. These are named by the aspect a caster is connected to and by how they can use it, how they manifest their connection.

Manipulation

Manipulation

Able to manipulate, attract or direct Bulok bugs that are present or nearby. These organisms will disperse and/or regain their will when the caster runs out of energy or ceases their control.

Aura

Able to summon or attract Bulok bugs or bug(s) they have established a bond with previously.

Movement

Able to burst into a swarm of a given kind of Bulok bug, travelling elsewhere before reforming.

Eye

Able to see Bulok bugs present around them or infecting a host and can tell both their kind and properties.

Sense

Able to feel their environment using Bulok bugs, feel anything interacting with them or the state of an infected lifeform and sense what kinds of bugs are in their environment despite barriers.

Skin

Can produce chitin/an exoskeleton over their skin, building up layers and expanding this around themselves in different shapes.

Touch

Able to infect organic material, alive or dead, with a kind of Bulok bug. The longer the contact, the more pervasive the infection. These organisms can drain magic from a live target or be used for tracking.

Fertility

Able to increase the fertility of a Bulok bug and aid in the healthy development of and birth of the organisms.

Imprint

Able to mark a number of targets as a member of their "swarm" or "hive". Once marked, those marked can communicate via pheromones and can sense each other's location.

Breath

Can exhale a swarm of a given Bulok bug. They have the same qualities as the 'touch' manifestation.

Shield

Immune to negative effects and/or damage from all bug magic and naturally occurring Bulok bugs while alive.

Vision

Able to enter a meditative state in which the caster can explore and peek through portals or windows within Bulok's Plane. Can see through the eyes of any bug using their corresponding 'shadows' in the plane.

Step

Can enter and exit Bulok's Plane via portals and travel the plane freely, without injury. Can bring another with them while maintaining contact.

Form

Their magic form has features of a specific Bulok bug incorporated into it. They will be able to manifest certain charictersitics of this bug (wings, exoskeleton, eyes, etc.).

Body

The caster bonds to a Bulok bug(s) when they are born and their lives are connected, both taking on the longer life span between them. They can share attributes, racial magics and energy but if one dies, so does the other.

This is the simplified explanation of these abilities. See Physical Manifestations for more details, limits and functions. Bulok and Dalyeric can wield all of these abilities and some others.
