Velukaelo has three primary forms of magic based off of the fundamental forces of the universe. Most sapient creatures can learn to harness this magic and some have even broken it into more specialized categories. While all magic users are able to use all three forms to some extent, the vast majority of them (ketucari included) can only use one with great skill. This is due to their natural, inborn "attunement" to that particular force. The three forms of magic are:
Greheli (gravity)Magic users with an attunement toward greheli can bend gravity to their will. By weakening and strengthening gravity around themselves and in their immediate vicinity, greheli users can cause things to fly, stop, speed up, deflect, and even implode. Greheli users are effective tanks in battle, as it can be extremely difficult to land a hit on them. Greheli is also useful in everyday life, especially when it comes to construction and exploration.
Talik (electromagnetism)Talik deals with electricity and magnetism. In battle, talik users combine devastating hits with crippling conditions such as paralysis & confusion. Experts in talik are capable of creating "rift portals" through space, allowing them to teleport small distances. Being that talik gives its users the ability to bend electricity, it is of course widely used outside of battle as well.
Dasrah (nuclear)Dasrah is the most versatile and the most brutal form of magic. It deals with the very forces that hold atoms together, and therefore has massive potential for evil and good. Dasrah users can bend the molecular structure of their bodies as well as in the things around them. The most powerful dasrah users of all are the Lucedarians, who have broken it down into elemental (fire, water, etc.) specializations. In battle, dasrah is almost exclusively an offensive power, used to cause explosions and even disintegrate body parts.
Berserker (non-magic)The strength of berserkers lies not in magic, but in physical force. They are experts at using their natural weaponry, as well as using their opponents' bodies against them. Being that most expect fights to involve magic, berserkers can sometimes take their enemies by surprise by using pure melee assault.
Learning and Using Skills
At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of possible skills that your ketucari can learn. On their import sheet, you will see a section dedicated to your ketucari's learned skills.

Learning Skills
To learn a skill, simply complete a image/literature piece of your ketucari's first time using the skill or one of their attempts to learn it. You can find short descriptions of each skill below in order to draw inspiration from.

When submitting an acitivity for multiple ketucari, you are allowed to mix skills with adventures and quests in the same submission. Submissions should meet our minimum submission requirements, found HERE.

Using Skills
Some skills, such as boons, give instant boosts to your ketucari's statistics the moment they are learned. Other skills, such a physical and magic attacks, are used in actual battle encounters to defeat monsters and bosses. During battle interactions, you can choose one of your learned skills to use against your opponent to lower their health, inflict a status effect, or both!
Choosing Your Attunement
Each individual ketucari you own may only have one attunement. While they are free to learn any other vital and specialty skills, when it comes to their magic skills you must stick to one path. This means you cannot learn one dasrah skill and the rest talik skills, for example. Your ketucari's attunement will be placed on their import sheet the moment you have them learn their first skill related to a path.
