Motes

Motemagic is one of the Eight Magics of Domundus.

The most prominent type of magic during the Age of Magic, often having been the only one known by people along with Sealed Magics, it was first discovered and spread by The Deathless Mage on Visica.

Along with every creature on Domundus, it's own “Mote” is created randomly somewhere else on the planet. Such a new, Unattuned Mote can only be seen (or heard, felt, smelled, etc.) by its owner.

Motes float around the world in a semi-corporeal state, like a dandelion seed carried around by the wind. They can be influenced by regular matter, meaning they can be carried by the wind, pushed by one’s hand, and even float on water. However, they cannot directly affect regular matter on their own.

Depending on the person, a Mote will be sensed in different ways, and can even change the way its owner senses it depending on their owner's experiences. (For example, if a person was blind, but could still use all their other senses, they may very well “sense” their Mote by a faint buzzing sound or an emanating pressure exerted on the person’s skin, or both.)

Mages
By definitions from the Age of Magic, a person was considered a Mage the moment they first came into their Mote's presence, as that technically allowed them to use Motemagic immediately.
