Overview

Partam, also known as the Partasuim, are a humanoid species that are known for having demonic origins. It’s kind of forgotten what they originated from, but they mostly look humanoid. Their magic is elemental in origin, with their "type" being unchanging after a certain age. In spite of this, sometimes ways can be found to manipulate the type of magic you have to mimic another type. Magic type is not genetic, but if Partam with two different magic types raise a child, the child’s magic type will most likely be a mixture of the two. This includes having children with different species. After awhile, if partam are not consistent in linage, descendants lose the capability to channel magic from themselves.

Partam magic comes from the caster, it’s something they channel with their own energy. As a result, they can be very creative with it, but also very self-endangering. Partam have been known to hurt themselves in overuse, as they lose control in their channeling and the effects of their magic turns back on them. Partam magic is very connected to their emotions as well, as it’s kind of apart of their bodies. As a result, it’s common for Partam families to have children with large age gaps between them, as the parents needed to train the kid to control their magic before bringing the possible chaos back into the house.

There are seven primarily acknowledged types of Partam. Partasuim Pyro (fire), Partasuim Fulg (electricity), Partasuim Lucer (light), Partasuim Aqua (water), Partasuim Ven (wind), Partasuim Necro ("death", though its name more derives from stigma), and Partasuim Magus (magic). Each of them have a specific element associated with them, meaning a specific thing they can channel from themselves. There are rarer types of Partasuim magic, though. These aren’t always considered "properly" Partam because their magic has differences in its function, but its internal source is the same. Those who channel these rarer magic types are called Partis, and they tend to be born in communities with a low Partam population. It is unknown how Partis develop.

Final thing of note: Due to the "demonic" origin of many Partasuim and the way that demonic magic can often work as an enhancer, half-demon Partam are often very strong and tend to carry nonhuman traits that come out when acting emotional. While they have most entirely separated themselves from their demonic roots, there are still some traditions they carry that have demon origins. Like young adults being gifted weapons to soulbind to themselves when they’re considered independent by their families. Alternatively: using familiars to help channel magic, as not using it can have worse effects than over-using it. Soulbinding and Familiars have the same process, but familiars are more in-fashion as they seem less dangerous.

Lore

Partasuim are not always considered to be from Kosmos. Theories state that centuries ago, maybe more, when demonic creatures still wandered the planet, they corrupted several species, making the Partasuim. Partasuim myths will often be more kind to themselves, stating possible celestial origins to some of their great heroes. Whatever the case, Partasuim were eventually a species Kosmos had come to recognize centuries ago.

They got along with Nymphs, Naiads, and Oreads, but always struggled with Alphere due to the myths of Partam coming from demonic origins. Even after the war with Sanapeccum (the land of the demons) was over, scuffles around the Partasuim continued for awhile, as many considered them to still be connected to Sanapeccum.

Over 1000 years later, and they’ve fully integrated into society, and demons are rarely brought up anymore when discussing their origins. They live all across the globe, have a “home country” (Out of the 7 united countries that make the Vezevidge Kingdom, Partam ancestry can only be traced back to one. The rest were colonized) and get to ignore their less-than-optimal roots. Which is honestly for the best, since 99% have no relation to Sanapeccum in the slightest, nor do they view Sanapeccum in a positive light.

Partam are incredibly communal, and tend to make subcultures in countries where they largely dominate, specifically covens. A coven is an organization made by and for Partasuim specifically, where people with similar beliefs work together to maintain the world as they think it should be. This oftentimes includes protecting the downtroden, feeding the hungry, and teaching the uneducated. Othertimes, it's just nationalism in disguise.

【Magical Ability】

Most Partasuim have a natural ability to conduct magic that develops around the age of five. The magic of the partasuim is unique is that they channel it from their own bodies. Because of this, their power depends on their physical health, and their ability depends on their mental health.

Magic type is rigid, and people are only able to work in the wheelhouse of the power type they developed as a child. It is possible to use magic in a way that bleeds into how other types work, but that takes flexibility and creativity. Additionally, the magic type they develop is developed through environment, not genetics.
