Aspects of Mythal

When Mythal was killed she was able to separate herself into different aspects prior to her death: Magic, Power, and Knowledge. These Aspects were sealed on the other side of the fade where she could remain hidden until she found willing hosts to place herself into.

These different aspects of her present in different ways. When taking a host form they do not always retain her wider memories.

Magic
As implied, this Aspect of Mythal has access to her understanding of Magic, as well as her massive pool of mana as a host trains to control themselves. This Aspect requires dedication, perseverance, and a clear mind to control adeptly.

Host death occurs when giving into demons, as the Aspect refuses to allow themselves to be corrupted.

Power
The Aspect of Power is the more incongruent of the Aspects and can present in wildly different ways depending on the Host’s disposition. Commonly however, the Aspect of Power has shown to increase impulsiveness within the host. The Aspect of Power is not an irrational Aspect, but it differs from Magic and Knowledge in how it reacts.

Power contains Mythal’s understanding of justice, vengeance, and what it means to be a guardian and to protect people. It also enhances a Host’s battle adeptness. Power may also choose High or Great Dragons as hosts to hibernate in.

Host death often occurs naturally, though if the Aspect feels as if the host no longer is serving as a protector it may drive the Host to more and more impulsive acts before leaving them entirely.

Knowledge
The Aspect of Knowledge does not search out hosts. It was found and drawn out from the fade by Mythal’s sentinels and was used in the creation of the Vir'Abelasan, or The Well of Sorrows. Knowledge does occasionally seep out, giving the occasional host great insight or even memories from Mythal herself.
