Daelyrian Mysticism

The sub-continent of Helmia is a large peninsula connected to Nieden and Syltör in the north. Its swamps, forests and mountains have been home to many systems of harnessing magical energy. The peninsula is divided into three main cultural and religious groups: the Daelyrians, from the island of Daelyria in the sea of petals, the Noxnorria, the original sleeper civilization of Helmia, and the Baykonians, a mostly gone people who lived in what is now

Daelyrian magics
The Daelyrian culture is perhaps the most dominant in modern Helmia. Aestyria is a predominantly Daelyrian cultured nation, and the nation of Kastollia has many culturally Daelyrian cities. Credia is also a Daelyrian nation in culture. The Daelyrians have two main magic systems: fire magic, or Gaelidism, and the much more dominant system, Blood magic.

Gaelidism
Gaelidism is mainly afforded to Dragonblooded demigods who are immune to fire and can use pyrochenisis to control fire. The effect can be emulated alchemically using a solution of magma cream and netherwart mixed in water under extreme temperatures.

Known Gaelidists:
-High King Unburnt Blackfyre the first: the High King of Aestyria, Unburnt got his name from his Gaelidist abilities, which he got from his parents.

Blood Magic
Blood magic is a much more complex system, practices in many parts of Rathnir and Eldham under different names. The practice originated in their ancient capital and with the mythical hero Illyax Ashborn who used the blood of one of his sisters to make the sword Dark Sister. This bound the soul of the donor to the object, and based on the donor's personality and the texture of their soul along with the intent of the Blood Mage can produce many effects. The soul is completely reshaped in some instances to give an impression of speech to the weapon or object.

Terminology
The terminology is:

-Donor: the person's or persons' blood being used to forge the item

-Blood Mage/Binder: the person performing the ritual of the Blood Binding.

-Focus: the object or weapon which blood magic is being performed on, like a sword or key.

-Commandment: the thought or idea given by the Binder onto the Focus.

-Will: the stronger Will of the Binder, the clearer the Commandment will be. A Binder of strong will may be able to use the souls of dozens or even hundreds of Donors on their Focus.

Examples of Blood Magi in the world:
-Lord Commander Augustino Synderys: leader of the royal guard of Aestyria, Augustino Synderys is said to be one of the greatest Blood Mages in the world, as showcased by his forging of his sword, the Commander's Will, and serving as Vhagar's Rhaes Aeuthu in the Binding of Vhagar's Key during the Ascension of his cousin, Dusk Synderys the Aenyn's key, a high position in Draconism.
