  Body is one of three celestial domains that describe the makeup of the universe, which stands in relative harmony with Mind and Soul. Although hotly debated by followers of Harmonic Trinitarianism, who see all three forces as equal, Body is sometimes considered the weakest force, given that it has been shattered or corrupted on both sides of the Mirror since the dawn of existence.   While Body itself is not a Mantle of Power, as a celestial domain it is represented by a godly force on either side of the Mirror. Nazeema — and her many shattered pieces — are the embodiment of Body in Tyrnog, whereas the Maskmaker holds this title on the Other Side.

Manifestation

Body is present in the form all creatures, the nature of space itself — including sky, sea, and land — and time. It is a primary driver of occult magic, industry, and the physical arts. Techniques that are almost entirely attributed to Body are somewhat unknown, but include chronomancy, the creation of realmspaces, and binding magic. A common misconception is that Groundskeeping belongs to this domain alone, but it is actually a technique shared equally between Body and Soul.

Localization

As a rule, there is no concept of "location" without Body, and thus it is quite literally found everywhere. However, the Material Plane is the veritable bastion of Body, which is shared (in a somewhat lesser form) by all its neighbors in the Inner Sphere. The Abyss is perhaps the atypical example of the weakening of Body, where the realmspace begins to slowly fall away into the Void.
