The Current

From Fantasy Novel

The current is the dynamic energy force that permeates our existence. It is the collection of three flows of power converging and flowing together. The Deia Adon, Attero and Aeta have each channeled their individual power and will through their own flows, and together have formed the current as a means to create and maintain the universe. It is only through the power of all three that we are created, sustained and die. This energy can be harnessed by living creatures, if their mind is quiet enough to hear the flow of the current through them.

[edit] Nature of the Current

Visual depiction of the current. On the left is the true path of each of the gods currents themselves - showing an eternal flow. On the right you see how they come together - with the black area in the center representing the convergence of all three currents, creating our universe. Since each gods power flows through individual currents, it is possible to access the current in its component forms.

Each Deia has a different type of energy. Adon's is centered in order, perfection, creation and similar concepts. His power centers around creation, healing, building, growing and preserving. Attero's power is such that is used to destroy, wound, kill, and cease. Aeta's essence is based in its nature of manipulating time and reality, to direct and bring balance to things.

These three energies alone are unable to sustain our universe. Thus the three Deia converged their powers to create our reality. In so doing, they merged their individual flows of energy together at a focal point - that focal point is what we consider to be the current, as its joined energy flows through everything in our universe like the current of a river. So, in essence, the universe IS the current itself made manifest.

Thus, the power that flows through us is an amalgamation of all three powers, each a part of the whole, but not the whole itself. When a living being within the universe is able to hear the flows of the current and use them, he or she is directing the combined power of the gods.

It is, however, possible to direct the energies of each individual Deia if one is able to find a way to access their flows of energy that are not united with the others.

[edit] Usage of the Current

The important note about the current is that for basically everyone who uses it - it isn't some all powerful, "can do anything you want, anytime" type of power. We have to make it difficult, limited, and with certain inabilities. In other words, perhaps the use of the current to become hidden is more like a chameleon, and less like "the invisible man". Regardless, try to make it so I do not have "walking gods" walking around the world.

[edit] Mind

• Empathy
• Telekenisis
• POSSIBLY Telepethy
• Premonition (this will differ from the vague, dream visions of the future that end up being quasi-prophecies - rather it will be a view of reality in the very near future - flashes of images with no context of an upcoming time)

[edit] Body

• Healing
• Quasi-Invisibility, possibly some other form of hiding ones self that isn't quite so cliche
• Appearance change (have to think about this a little)

[edit] Physical World

• Many uses.
• Control the flow of time (more or less can only be done by the most powerful of users, possibly cooperation between them with massive assistance...basically next to impossible
• Creates cosmic uses... conjur black holes, dark mater, gravity, etc.
