MAGIC & MYSTERIES
Foundations of Magic
All magics function from conduits made up of either crystals or life threads of magical creatures. Humanoids of specific calibers also have their own life threads that can be channeled for different classes and comes from either blessings or curses from the gods. In the case of those that survived the fractured souls ritual, their life threads are broken and cursed and magic items often back fire in different ways.
To tie a thread or crystal to an object, runes must be used to establish the connection between the object and the crystal or rune stones.
Threads
Threads are the basis of magics in creatures. They come from all sorts of creatures big and small as long as they have been created, blessed, or cursed by one of the gods. These threads are collected by a blank carved stone, blank wand or blank staff. Some creatures have the ability to absorb the threads of others in order to increase their own power. This can turn into chaotic reactions.
Natural Thread Manipulation
The Immortal Blessed are all masters of thread manipulation. They are all capable of sharing their power with their followers through the manipulation of threads. Children of those who have had their threads manipulated often are born with that thread. This has led to many people with different abilities joining other religious sects and cults. Similar effects of thread manipulation can be achieved through rituals and magic objects with varying degrees of effectiveness.
Thread manipulation is banned to all but the Immortal Blessed and research into the topic is taboo amongst all mortals. Very few are allowed to live if discovered to be dabbling in this research and usually those that are allowed to live are either children of the blessed themselves, or are part of secretive research divisions withing the libraries and towers of the gods themselves.
Even being able to see threads is considered extremely rare at the start of mankind's forays into magic. Everyone who has the ability to even see threads can in some way trace their heritage back to one of the immortal blessed.
Fractured Souls
The fractured souls of those that took part in the ritual of the god of chaos have chaos magic in ingrained in their threads. This magic causes outbursts that can either empower or break the spells being cast. The fractured souls threads are only held together by the chaos threads and with each level a new fracture is created increasing the likelihood of a chaos effect.
Magic Objects
Use of Magical Objects
The use of magical objects dates back to early thread manipulation research by the gods themselves. Each of the gods originally specialized in individual applications of magic. So to take advantage of other magic applications through the use of these magic objects. Another thing that came from this is that mortals could also use magic objects without the need to be "blessed" by one of the gods to be able to use their own magics. (Through thread manipulation which in the early years was very risky.)
Use of Crystals in Magic

Runestones and Relics
Single use stones that perform specific tasks. Crystal rune stones function on their elemental nature. Wooden rune carvings require threads to function but they are incredibly small. Relics are objects with gemstones embedded in them with additional runes accented by the metals used to create the relics.
Wands & Staffs
Reusable magic items that can be used as weapons. Smaller and less powerful than their staff counterparts and they can be much more easily concealed. They recharge based on either time, absorbing rune stones, or absorption of life threads. Wands can be upgraded by using gems and crystals to increase number of charges and types of attacks.
Staffs
Reusable magic items that can be used as weapons. More powerful than their wand counterparts and essentially are essentially the difference between daggers and swords in terms of comparison to skill needed to use and power. They recharge based on either time, absorbing rune stones, or absorption of life threads.
Staffs can be upgraded by adding gems and crystals to increase number of charges and types of attacks. Adding additional adornments to the craftsmanship can also increase the power of the staff.
