Val
One of the two primal forces forged at the beginning of time, Val is associated with order and organization. It brought order to the universe in the moment of creation, organizing matter so that it might take physical form. Val is responsible for many of the physical laws of the universe, giving meaning to light, energy and magnetism. Sometimes called Valkus, it takes physical form as a brilliant golden yellow, gleaming brilliantly with the promise of perfect order.
Those who channel Val find themselves driven towards order, often embracing government and authoritarianism, but also stability and peace. It is often referred to as firm, but stable. It grants its wielders physical strength and durability alongside other abilities, hardening their skin to deflect blades of mortal steel. Magic drawn from Val is usually associated with order, but this order can manifest in many different ways. The following are common magics drawn from Val, ranked from most common/associated to least:
Crystallization: Solid lattices are the purest order, and Val seeks to conform all sorts of matter to this state. Using this magic, wielders can transform matter into a crystal state, creating solid items out of thin air or manipulating existing matter into this state. Wielders can create weapons and shields as well as encase foes within their own skin, transmuting them to pure crystal.
Photokinesis: light is purest energy, which is a physical expression of Val's order upon movement. Wielders can create and shape light to their will.
Authority: Val's might is in perfect order, which can transpose itself onto others through the wielding of its energies. This magic asserts the authority of the wielder in order to cow foes.
Gravitation: A difficult art to master, but nonetheless a core tenet of Val. Gravitation deals with attractions between objects and the amplification of the natural force of the same name.
Pyrokinesis: The manipulation of flame through Val is drawn from photokinesis and an understanding of the principles of flammability and ignition.
Electrokinesis: electricity is drawn from one of the fundamental laws of the world, which some practitioners of Val are skilled enough to shape, although this is a rarer art.
