Mist magic has to do with the senses, notably sight hearing and smell... Though with enough practice, the others may also be manipulated. Mist magic only works inside its aura, but it has the largest aura out of any Deafuian magic. It is commonly used for creating illusions, though it can not be attacked with unless combined with another magic. It is the second least used magic due to how not practical it is.
Area Illusions: Mist users are capable of manipulating the visual appearance of anything within their aura. This is done through mist they can use to manipulate light
that exists in their aura. This can be seen from outside of the user's aura, as well as within it; making it easier to trick anyone into believing it may be real.
Individual Illusions: As stated earlier, mist users can mess with someone's individual senses, make an individual hear, see, smell or [physically] feel things they wouldn't otherwise.
Mist's aura is the hardest out of all auras for aura magic users to sense. This is impressive considering how large the aura is. Still, though, a particularly keen aura user will be able to tell they are being effected by illusions. Mist magic only works inside of its aura, so it is important not to let someone leave the aura if you are tormenting them.
Mist Elementals are not a rare sight, they're one of the most common elementals. They can be found pulling tricks on commoners, either to punish them or to test their strength. Despite being common, they are rarely seen due to their tendency to disguise themselves as something else, presumably to avoid being spotted, but this could also be to avoid being hunted.
Long term Mist users have reported having fractions of their dreams appear within their aura, this is out of their control. Long term mist magic users are also prone to delusion. Absorbing too much mist magic by itself will never be fatal, however it will have irreparable effects on the psyche, and could put you in a deep coma. One may no longer be able to control their mist magic and their illusions may turn against them, creating a personal hell for the mist magic user to live in. Reality would no longer matter to anyone in this state.
In Mist Rituals there are three commonly used sigils:
The sigil for mist magic itself
The sigil for Cats Ghost Eye, mist magic's Eternal Being
& The sigil for the Athlix line, the current mist magic source on Deafu. It consists of two beings, Athlix [deceased], and Asolen.
Cattails of any kind [the plant, to specify] are burnt in mist magic rituals, though this tends to pose an extreme fire hazard. Try not to do this ritual indoors or near any
foliage. To make the ritual stronger, it can be performed in Cats Ghost Eye's biome, where not much is flammable. Or it can be performed on a full moon.
Cats Ghost Eye manifested physically in Deafu as a large series of tunnels underground. These tunnels themselves are 'alive'. Not in the blood and flesh way, but they are indeed
Cats Ghost Eye's body. The tunnels shift and change, and are capable of trapping someone underground forever, or if they are favoured by Cats Ghost Eye, bringing them to the
greatest ores one could find. The biome is prone to illusions projecting Cats Ghost Eye's memories, which may be frightening or enlightening depending on what one sees.
In the biome itself, misty tearwater can be found in pools, it is not dangerous in the slightest to enter, though it is very salty and has a layer of mist around its surface. Despite not being
made out of flesh and blood, the walls of the cave are soft and commonly moist, this allows the cave system to close itself up or change in form easily. The walls of the cave are not
considered 'stone' rather they are referred to as a type of strange putty. For the favoured, they may see a depiction of a non-deafuian literally just a kitty cat outside of or near the
entrance to the cave. This cat would pose as a guide for the underground shifting structure.
Cats Ghost Eye, or 'The Distortionist' is timid in nature, generally, it would never seek to hurt a commoner, but if a commoner is particularly bad and has hurt other commers, Cats Ghost Eye may then attempt to trap the commoner in one of its caves. Cats Ghost Eye does not care if a commoner is after itself, as it knows it can not truly die whilst the universe is in-tact. Cats Ghost Eye is regarded as the friendliest of the Eternal Beings, but does not enjoy talking. They do not control their elementals either, the only thing they control is the guide cat 'Ebrine' in their caves.
The current Mist magickeeper's name is Asolen, they are a cold and harsh individual. Brutally raised by The Higherup, they seek to continue his legacy, for some fucked up delusional reason.
Boy!! The Higherup does NOT CARE about you. KILL HIS ASS!!
The previous Mist magickeeper's name was Athlix, it was poisoned by the old Hyaline magickeeper, Shorna. Shorna was promptly put down because of this action. Athlix was a wise and calm individual.
