Magic System

All of the magical energy present in Cirndas stems indirectly from the gods. To be able to channel magical energy, you must attune your soul to an E'lir and receive a Re'lar, more commonly called a Lodestone. Then you can open a direct line to the practically limitless energy from the gods, as long as your soul can bear the load of the pure energy flow. Magic is very tightly controlled by the magical community and only those that prove themselves worthy are allowed to attune to a E'lir. Acolytes must undergo a harrowing test as a rite of passage in a ceremony called The Resonance.

E'lir
E'lir are large conduits of magical power, usually in the form of large stones or crystalline structures. They are said to be echoes of the power of the gods given a physical form, and they function a focusing center for magical energy.

Re'lar
Re'lar are small portable connections to the E'lir which allow the user to connect to their E'lir across vast distances and channel magic even when removed from the source of their power.

The Resonance
A rite of passage that all casters must undergo to be able to attune to an E'lir. None outside of the initiated know what this ritual entails, but it is known to be incredibly difficult and many fail.

Weavers
Weavers are an incredibly rare magical phenomenon by which people are born with an E'lir already embedded within their hearts. They are attuned to it from birth and only they can use it to channel energy. Any and all weavers, if they are discovered, are taken for magical training and social conditioning, lest they use their powers for less-than-noble purposes. A weaver that fails to control their power is executed at the age of 16 for the safety of those around them. Weavers have a reputation to be out of control and prone to accidental explosions.
