Origin Bearer
Origin is the starting point that defines one's existence & directs one's actions throughout life. It is the driving force that comes from within the Root that has managed to stream out of the Source & take on material form. The form it can take on at times is that of a human being, & all humans match their actions to be in harmony with the driving force that originated them from the moment they enter into the world. These actions are more along the lines of an inherent compulsion that could be called a person's instinct rather than a conscious decision. If a person becomes awakened to their Origin, it becomes nearly impossible to stray from their Origin if it's even possible in the first place. It becomes an impulsive behavior one would follow as though it were an absolute order. Under the system of magecraft, Origins are used to describe precise details about a magus, while Elemental Affinity indicates one’s general alignment. Magi with an Origin that is strongly expressed outwardly are sometimes removed from the normal alignments & there are times that the Origin itself becomes the alignment. Most of those magi exhibit their talents as extreme specialists, allowing them to potentially reach higher grounds than normal magi. Even those without an Elemental Affinity are sometimes still capable of casting Spells simply by following their Origin. It's possible for them to overcome great obstacles such as a lack of Magic Circuits or a lack of talent for magecraft altogether. One field of research within the Department of Individual Fundamentals involves bringing forth factors from cells, but the field is vetoed all the time due to many incidents involving Origins. Novice magi who don't have experience become prisoners to their own Origins, leading to them being labeled as examples of foolish students during lectures.
