Petelgeuse

The multyworld interpretation theory is correct. Petelgeuse is one of the many alternative worlds where magic, alchemy and sciense take place. You can meet different cultures there with original characteristics for each. The level of evolution is also different. In this world steam- and cyberpank take plase as right as the familiar styles like contemporary world, like Tokyo or New-York, or gothic, like Victorian England. This world is inhabited with different races and creatures, each with individual characteristics and abilities. There are 7 kinds of magic. The basic four - magic of earth, air, fire and water. The other kinds are: magic of energy, dark and psyhokinetics. Each kind gives you specific abilities. You can use the elements respectively to the tipe of magic you posess. Earth magicians are very strong. Exept using the element of earth, they can control metal, ash, dust and plants. Fire magicians are usually very quick-tempered. They can control the temperature of the objects and give the fire a shape. Air magicians control gases, but they can't control, for example, steam, or liquid oxygen. But they can create air flows and control their strength and speed. They can also low the temperature of the object. Water magicians can control all the liquids, from water and blood to oil and liquid gases. Energy magicians can control electricity and turn the potencial energy of the object into a kinetic one and conversely. Being a dark magician doesn't mean you're a bad guy. Actualy, this magicians don't use the "dark". They use the photons, so they can distort the visible reality, make themselves invisible with saving their sight, change the colors, create light andillusions. Psyhokinetics can affect the brains, which lead to such ability as hypnose. They also have such abilities like telekinesis (moving things with their will), teleportation and telepathy.   You can posess 1 or 2 or 3 (3 is a limit) kind of magic, which can help you to create for example ash, glass, ice or steam. But you are mo likely to have no magic abilities.   Alchemy looks like magic. It can help to turn one elemeint into another, according to the law of saving materia and energy. It's very hard and energy-consuming, plus the studying process is very long and difficult, so there are very few alchemists in the world.   There are 15 basic races in this world. People from different races can create a family and leave a prolific offspring, that's how mestizo turn out. Moreover, some races also have inner division.   The races are: 1. Humans (4 inner races + mestizo) 2. Elves (2 inner races) 3. Centaurs 4. Murmaids 5. Lamias (more than 7 different inner races, divided by sizes) 6. Satyrs 7. Fairies 8. Beast-people (people with animal ears and tails; 3 inner races + mestizo) 9. Reptiloids (people with reptile-looking eyes and temperature depending on the external temperature) 10. Winged-people (2 inner races) 11. Dwarves 12. Goblins 13. Orcs 14. Trolls 15. Insectoids (half-people, half-incects; the exact number of the races is unknown, the most popular are 3 of them) Each basic race has a territory of its own with their goverment. There is also a huge neutral territory where you can meet all the races living together. The slavery also takes place in this world.
