What is A Conduit?

A People All of Their Own

Conduits are legendary beings. Those who were blessed by the guardians during the start of the great war. Before the Cataclysm the races could not access the Weave , however there were those who earned the favor of the guardians, who would impart them a fraction of their power.
Even after the people of Ibeos gained the use of magic, the Conduits far surpassed the capabilities of any ordinary mage. Other than the sheer scale of power, the only noticeable difference between an ordinary civilian and them is a brand that takes a form unique to the Conduit. Many liken the experience of becoming a Conduit to being burned alive. 
A guardian can only give one brand, but a Conduit can hold the power of multiple guardians; once they obtain it, it cannot be removed until their death. Conduits can also contact the guardians through "Echoes" though this process is incredibly difficult.
