Mpertem

(a.k.a. Joy)

Mpertem is an aspects of Lithmor and one of her mental aspects. Mpertem consists of emotions and states including joy, pride, bliss, mania, happiness, motivation, satisfaction or general euphoria. In general, Mpertem deals with an increase or presence of these positive emotions and is the counterpart of Siptalis, aspect of Zalikar.

Mpertem's manifestations are fairly common as Lithmor passionately loves humans. However, most who possess this Racial Magic are focused in Alkelbulan and the central valley. Those who utilize this aspect in their form or wield it as a mage tend to possess certain personality quirks or tendencies that are similar to Mpertem.

Racial Manifestations

When Lithmor gifted all lifeforms with her 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.
