The Opposing Forces; The force that drives all that is mystic

The Opposing Forces: What are they?
That's a good question. The Opposing Forces can be described as "magic" or "mana" or "energy" in a way. It is what all forms of creation are made of, the rudimentary form of all existence. Without the Opposing Forces (henceforth abbreviated as OF), nothing would be able to exist.

How Were They Made?
The OF always existed, even before the creation of all matter and space in the Viscian universe. These forces are most likely the greatest unsolved mysteries waiting to be discovered in the Realm of Viscia. Scholars from all nations are working adamantly on finding the answer to the formation of the OF. The Viscian Bureau of Theory is currently offering a 30,000 VD prize for the first person to provide a plausible answer unable to be disproved.

Using the Opposing Forces
There are only a handful of people who can successfully manipulate and use the Opposing Forces for their own personal benefit. It requires an extremely rare instinct available only to certain organisms who display an innate talent and supernatural power. That's right, even animals and unintelligent life can muster the power of the Opposing Forces. Most users of the OF are either adventurers, priests, or high-ranking military commanders/generals. Perhaps only 7% of all Viscia's population can harness the OF's power, and only 40% of those are truly able to use it whenever they want.

Offensive Capabilities
The OF materialize in the form of three colors. The first color is red, the color of offense. By tapping into the Opposing Forces within one's mind, one can selectively harness the power of the red OF. After doing this, one may use these forces to invoke the wrath of the elements. These elements include: Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Wind, Darkness, and Light. There is a limit to how far one can manipulate these elements though, and once that limit has been passed, the user may either pass out or in the worst cases, die.

Supplementary Capabilities
The second color is blue, the color of defense. Although this does not necessarily mean that the blue OF is used strictly for defensive capabilities, it does mean that it deals with forces that are not elemental. These include: teleportation, levitation, creating artificial shields, summoning, illusions, etc. As with the previous color, there is a limit which, when crossed, causes hallucinations, fainting, and less commonly, death. The blue Opposing Force is strictly unable to inflict pain, bound by a universal limit that hampers its ability to hurt. For that reason, many priests and monks strictly dedicate themselves to the Blue OF.

Equilibrium
Equilibrium is the state where one has mastered both the red and blue Opposing Forces. Only few people are able to accomplish (approximately 0.05% of all Viscia) this feat. Doing this automatically grants the user (labeled as a "Force Master") a high-ranking position in his/her society. Most Force Masters take up teaching positions, live a life of solitude, or become adventurers.


Please excuse the vague-ness of the Opposing Forces. Because the boards just started out, I will be working on expanding them and writing more information on how the whole system works. Thank you for reading :)
