Caelus (Kay-lis)

Caelus is what many would consider to be magic, allowing its users to perform spectacles otherwise not possible to normal humans. Brought to Earth by benevolent Venovians disguising themselves amongst mankind as early as the 19th century, Caelus would advance humanity's recovery from the brink of extinction by exponential amounts. With the sky being the limit with the newfound magic, it was appropriately named Caelus - a Latin word for "Sky".   The magic was fully brought into fruition in 2239, the year of the Singularity. Following the powerful explosion of a nuclear warhead beneath New Cali, the rift of the detonation unlocked a potential within all living things exposed to Ardor radiation in the area. This effect would range depending on the dosage of radiation the person was exposed to, varying from a slight change in mood all the way to becoming one gifted with Caelus. Following the first naturalborn mages, humans would begin to look into means of harnessing the newfound phenomena into technology and artificially creating mages. This would leave to the discovery of Ardocytes., a bioluminescent microstructure that embeds itself into the host's nervous system upon exposure to Ardor radiation.   Whether or not one is a Caelus user is determined at birth, in addition to their Ardocyte count. SometimesA slew of factors are weighed when considering this, such as one's bloodline and relation to those within the New Cali accident. However, there are many cases in which a mage is birthed with no connection to the incident, either by luck or one's parents being exposed to enough Ardor. There are a few rare instances of Caelus manifesting in those with suppressed emotions in times of intense stress.   Caelus is the physical manifestation of Ardor, a strain of radiation brought forth from the mysterious alien world known as Venov. There are currently three branches of Caelus, which are still being expanded on to this day as more types of the magic are discovered with time and expertise.

Elemental Channeling

Pyrocaelus, the manipulation of heat and summoning of flames.

Voltcaelus, the ability to control electrical currents and summon arcs of lightning. This includes magnetism.

Aerocaelus, controlling the wind and forming powerful vacuums.

Geocaelus, shifting the Earth and creating tremors in both a defensive and offensive manner.

Aether Caelus - the rarest of them all. Fusing elements together, one can become a devastating force of Ardor.

Fabrication Caelus

This is the ability to create objects of pure Caelus. 

Armsweaving, the ability to summon an array of weapons manifested from seemingly nothing. (Swords, bows, firearms, etc)

Shields/Wardcasting, where one creates protective barriers and fields.
