The Final Edition on how Gaian Magic works.


Gaian Magic Long known to be the main magic of Gaia has been around for thousands of years, but generally Has remained the same. Gaian wolves have evolved to have a special Magic gland in their brains to allow them to store magic in their brains. There is actually more than one way for magic to be stored in their brains than by the use of a beast trigger or band. Although not mentioned that much, the gland in their brains function like a battery of sorts that depletes sort of easily the more magic they use and can "recharge" by resting as their bodys can replace the magic. -The weaknesses of a Gaian wolf are- -Overexposure to magic- it is possible for a gaian wolf to be overloaded so much with magic they burn out the magic glands in their brains permanently just like a battery and.. Really can't be replaced. -Stamina problem- Gaian magic relies much on the physical and mental ability of the user, and if someone is exhausted or out of shape it's possible that they can't use their powers both physically or mentally. -Memory/head related problems- a headache or a migraine could cause a block on the magic flow, and it's possible for amnesia and insomnia can also be an inhibitor. -Gaian flu- The gaian flu is like the common cold but inhibits the natural magic generation within a gaian wolf and blocks the use of magic. -The Beast tools- -Beast Trigger- A Brown gun shaped device (like a Kirijo Group brand envoker) with a clear gem in the middle of it that creates a powerful charge of magic power. It can be used as envoker to summon a beast form, and it's used in the same way. When it's used it shoots a magic bullet into the user's brain with a white fog around it with a glass breaking sound effect. -Beast Band- a Dynamax shaped bracelet that's brown with a clear square shaped gemstone in it, it's used to hold extra magic from a beast trigger. It also helps discharge magic like a battery, and can create the magic orbs needed for a gigantic version of a beast form. It also prevents a gaian werewolf's magic gland from burning out, lastly you can tell how much magic is within it by looking at the gemstone if it's glowing bright it's full if it's dull and colorless it's empty and is activated by pressing the stone. -Beast Collar- Acts like an inhibitor to prevent a gaian werewolf transformation and is a collar with opaque gemstone within it, as it likes a sponge to absorb the magic but can be discharged later like a beast trigger. -Beast Bracelet- has the trigger aspect of the beast trigger in it, along with the stone for the band one is facing the outside the other facing the inside of it. For more on the use of Gaian Magic, it's known to be very creative and will bend to the user's will as long as they have the magic for it. Every Gaian Wolf is able to do a magic howl attack teleport and use basic level psychic powers like levitation and telekinesis. They can also shoot elemental energy beams of their respective elements. Also depending on what spell they use their aura color will change to a respective element color, like special moves and abilities. Lastly every wolf can summon things made out of their magic but it will be made out of that wolf's aura color and are whatever the object is lasts forever. -Gaian Elements- For thousands of years some wolves have demonstrated preferred uses of the area around them, they have developed use of a spell circle or ring to call upon the natural magic around them to use the many elements. However in more modern years simply the wolves have channeled the same magic into their hands and howels than just by drawing spell circles though spell circles still appear around their hands or wrists. -(Dark Green) Grass- These wolves have a grassy aura tied to them and are natural healers and can control the flora around them just like a water wolf around water. -(Orange) Strength- These wolves have a tough aura tied to them, and are super strong, with enhanced speed and reflexes and are known to throw objects and hit very hard. They are also known to be strong enough to break or bend most things. -(Black) Darkness/Shadows- These wolves have a dark aura tied to them, having the abilities to control shadows, go into a ghost-like form and shapeshift themselves with the power of darkness to grow bigger or smaller depending on the situation. Their powers are the dark counterpart to their light counterparts. -(White) Light/Psychic- These wolves have a light aura tied to them, having the abilities of a psychic from levitation to even interacting with dreams, and can create light colored constricts (by using sunlight or general light) with their mind. Their powers are the light counterpart to their dark counterparts. -(Ice White) Ice- These wolves have the ice white cold aura tied to them having the powers to freeze water solid and are immune to any cold based illnesses. They can also form ice out of thin air and have temperature regulation of the area around them and master ice wolves can even freeze full islands solid without breaking a sweat. They can freeze the air around them or just by using their magic to generate ice (that can melt either way if by extreme heat is around) -(Yellow) Electricity- These wolves have the electric fast aura tied to them, being able to act as a generator and lightning rod. They can create electric wings to fly, have the ability to walk on clouds and have the power to create bursts of air from under them. -(Sliver) Steel- These wolves have the glimmering steel aura tied to them, having the ability to harden their fur to be hard as steel, being able to mine with their hands and claws and being able to see in the dark. They have a fraction of a strong wolf's power and until recently displayed the power to bend the earth like a psychic wolf when they "bend" an element and can control the density of said earth. -(Dark Blue) Water- These wolves have the Aquatic aura tied to them, being able to fully control water form water wings to fly with them. They are naturally strong swimmers being able to see and breathe underwater and even do the same trick to those who aren't a natural water wolf. They are able to both summon water (by their own magic) and are most powerful near lakes and oceans -(Dark Red) Flames/Fire- These wolves have the flaming aura tied to them, being able to super heat themselves (by heating themselves up) are naturally heatproof to heat and any heat illnesses and are able to control magma and lava by controlling the heat around the molten rock. They also have general temperature control, being able to cool things down and heat things up by their fingers using their bodies as a heat factory of sorts. They also can use flames not only for battle abilities but to fly themselves around and not only control the fire around them but can summon fire from their magic. -(Dark Purple) Sprit/Fairy- These wolves are a 50/50 Hybrid of Grass wolves and psychic wolves, but are very powerful and not to be feared with. Their cousins are the Insect wolves. -(Velvet Red) Insect- These wolves only have longer fangs and can suck things through them like straws physically. But are able to gain special insect-like wings when they fly and the Fairy wolves can do a similar thing but with more fairy-like wings. Lastly these wolves are masters at transporting things and storing things. They can also appear very bat like. -(Brown) Ghost- 50/50 Hybrid of both light and dark wolves and are masters at both and are very powerful hybrids. -(Light Yellow) Cloud/Air- These wolves are an offshoot of the electric wolves, they can fully control the air and wind with cloud like wings or just by air boosts and can also walk on clouds. -(Dark Silver) Rock- An offshoot of the steel wolves, they can harden their fur but is not as hard or dense compared to a steel wolf but these wolves are very resourceful and hardworking by default. -(Light Silver) Ground- They only have the fur hardening power around their fists, are an offshoot of the steel wolves (and are related to their rock counterparts and Steel cousins). However they lack the ability to see in the dark but make up with the fact that they can dig very fast. -(Dark Grey) Poison- These wolves have the abilities to generate toxins and poisons from within their bodies, and can also shoot venom just like a snake. They produce very strong stomach acids and can go chameleon and go invisible but despite their powers they are healers as their toxins and poisons are used to be heavily refined to be healing items for people all across the galaxy. -(Red & Black) Dragon- These wolves are 50/50 Hybrids of Fire and Steel wolves being able to naturally grow horns (but can also have other powers besides fire as they have more steel like bodies). -(Red) Native- These wolves are like the fire wolves but lack the heatproof power -(Grey) Normal- these wolves are the non magic type being able to use some powers but not much, and every wolf can use the normal element as it's the basic building block element. However they aren't as powerful as they can't control or bend anything but can hold their ground in a magic fight. Another thing related to elements is that a Royal wolf or someone distantly related to a Royal family their magic is significantly stronger than a regular Gaian wolf and have more magic stamina. Upon birth, wolves born into magic are permanently able to use that element's magic moonstone females are like this and sometimes a moonstone male. Lastly- the wolves of Gaia tend to "bend" their respective elements to their will much like the benders of the avatar world (with earth and water being the best examples of this). It's also how sometimes when the wolves fight it's remionencant of the many bending styles. -Wands and magic enhancers- Gaian Magic is all about using your own body to channel magic out of you, like a lightning rod but less dangerous. There have been tons of cases where wolves born on Gaia lack the magic gland able to produce magic. This is why Wands of all shapes and sizes exist, A Staff form (much how the witches' staffs of the Boiling isles are) with a gemstone enhancer to properly channel out the magic (from within the staff). There have also been cases where rings and earrings are also wands that function like beast triggers. -Special Gaian Magic Abilities- Beast forms & Signature moves A Beast form is the magical manifestation of your magic every Native magic wolf of gaia has one, where the normal size is about the size of a normal persona or stand while a Gigantic version (most used in beast fighting) is the same but huge. Each magic user of Gaia (both native and off planet) while using magic has a signature move of their element often a powerful move to finish a battle and can be used while in a regular size beast form or without ot. -The Moonstone factor- Although Present in the male moonstones of the family these royal wolves have the power to use all the Gaian elements in the famous moonstone wildcard factor, as their magic glands are a bit bigger with an extra one sometimes appearing attached to their hearts. However one factor that has not been talked about or mentioned is that they are able to dip down and be able to control different elements at the same time by tapping into their wildcard power, and the way they tap into this is by synching up their powers with the deceased members of the moonstone family to be able to accomplish the multi-magic element use similar to the avatar state from the avatar franchise. Their powers would be twice as stronger but will cause them to lose energy and stamina a lot more quicker than normal. The use of the Moonstone Factor is visible when said moonstone has a rainbow colored hue around them with the main 9 elements (Strength,Fire,Steel,Electricity,Grass,Water,Ice Psychic and Darkness) seen like colors flowing around them with their fur and hair flowing. -Weapons and special abilities- There are two kinds of weapons both among the magic wolves and non magic wolves, ones that are magic based others that are physical and not summoned. For every magic gaian wolf there is a certain spot on their body that glows first and their weapon appears from it (much like a gem). These weapons are light based and can be broken with enough force or by the wolf calling back (as for some odd reason Gaian magic breaks like glass whenever a weapon or spell is broken). Depending on their personality a wolf will naturally develop a weapon after some time, some wolves like sharper weapons while others prefer more practical or creative weapons. Others simply want something that's easy to use. Also for the non-summoned weapons chances are if a weapon was used by a magic wolf then it was forged into a normal weapon that if it breaks it's broken for good. Every wolf has at least developed a unique power or ability out of creativity or learning it another way as Gaian magic relies heavily on creativity. -Attack Styles- Physical style- Focuses on more direct punches and kicks often uses a given element to land more oncontact moves and often uses the elements as actual ways to improve the damage output Special style- Focus more on using the elements to attack from a bit of a distance many shadow and light wolves use this style. Nature Style- Focus more on using the nature and surroundings around them to attack much like a bender in the world of the avatar is capable of doing so, Beast Fighting Style- a no holding back style where you can adapt to the area around you to fight appropriately. -Final things to be noted- -For a Non Gaian to use magic, they must have some form of a beast bracelet -Gaian Staffs can trigger the same way as a beast trigger and do not require a beast bracelet to store magic. -To use Gaian Magic you have to feel willing to use it, not out of spite or hesitancy -Gaians and non Gaians alike use their bodies to channel the magic through their bodies to perform magic like a lightning rod but you can cap off the flow of electricity. -It is possible for anyone to use magic from Gaia as long as they have the proper beast tools to do so.
