Affinity & Complement

TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, NEEDS MINOR REWORKS AND MAYOR CONTENT HAS TO BE ADDED

Affinity and complement are determined by the amount of Saxum in a person's body, it is not possible to have multiple affinities. The mineral most present in the body is called "affinity". The natural counterpart is called "complement".
Example:
If the most common element in a body is fire saxum, fire is its affinity. The natural balance makes water the complementary element.

For this purpose, the so-called "Colour Wheel of Magic" was developed. On this, affinity and complement are opposite.

Effect of affinities

The affinity determines characteristics which, depending on the type, have different conspicuousness.

• Fire - The person's body temperature is higher
• Water - The person's body temperature is lower
• Nature - Animals are drawn to these people.
• Electric - These people have a strong sense of direction.
• Power - People are unusually heavy or light, and have a higher physical strength without it being apparent.
• Arcane - These people learn quickly and have a good memory.
• Flux - The dexterity of these people is very pronounced.
• Music - These people are extremely empathic.
• Hexes - Other persons are drawn to these people.
• Necromancy - These people have a longer life expectancy.

Affinity affecting learning

while it is generally possible to learn any type of Signum, there is a hurdle to overcome.
A person's affinity is easier to learn for them, as is the complement. However, the further a type of Signum is from affinity, the harder it is for a person to learn that type of Signum.
Example:
A person with fire affinity will learn Fire Signum most easily, closely followed by Water Signum. But the hardest thing for this person will be to learn about Power and Flux.
