Affinities
Five kinds of magic, Plain, and the HumansFive magical affinities are listed alongside Plain, which has no affinity, and Humans, who have no casting core.
- Bloom
Bloom is one of the five affinities, the colours of power that leak into the Hallow through the imperfect Covenant.
- Human
A Human heir wakes with no core and no remembered life. The lineages are Human: people of the Hallow with no core.
- Lumen
Lumen is one of the five affinities, the colours of power that leak into the Hallow through the imperfect Covenant.
- Plain
Plain is the name for what has no affinity. It is not another affinity, and it has no place on the ring where the five affinities feed and repel each other.
- Pyre
Pyre is one of the five affinities, the colours of power that leak into the Hallow through the imperfect Covenant. It is the affinity of fire, destruction and war, and Undon, the Unmaker holds it.
- Reverie
Reverie is one of the five affinities, the colours of power that leak into the Hallow through the imperfect Covenant.
- Umbra
Umbra is one of the five affinities, the colours of power that leak into the Hallow through the imperfect Covenant. It is the affinity of death and its aftermath, and Deopa, the Deep holds it.
