Most Nixtralians believe the soul encompasses a person’s spiritual aspect. Upon death, a soul is guided to the Ring of Fate, a limbo-like plane between the mortal & spirit realms.
It’s there where a soul is judged to go to either Finyt or Nulyma.

Classic children's literature always makes me feel better. Stories from Peter Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh are quick enough to reread if you're short on time.

Yes. Very much yes, and is a part of a very important system I intend to use at one point.
A tangent, for a moment, if you will.
The elements of decay and nature are also the elements of the spirit and the soul respectively. These are related but separate.

Since #Infernulls is more about feeling, and you get stuck with an Element, but being able to cast all four anyway, ability to control all four elements with ease is considered mastery.

Autemá and Verdá are new, no established ranks. However for Autemá, you get the nod when you reach the '2nd Plateau: Avatar', where your mastery of will is 'shining through the unique prism of your self' and you develop unique abilities influenced by you. Tatyana actually sets herself on fire. 🧵

What does it take to be considered a "master" of your magic system?
Is it about the range of your techniques? The difficulty level? The amount of knowledge in your head? Your ability not to set yourself on fire?
Or perhaps there IS no "mastery"?

Something about 8 badges (the fact that I don't actually use this is a crime).
There isn't any true definition of mastery here. For beluan, it's simply survival and/or dominance.
For humans, and therefore Travelers, it's more a notoriety thing.

Souls are considered part of a person, a spiritual component that holds what is uniquely capable of good. A person without a soul must be evil. The soul does not survive death. It is what the World remembers.
