Before the first stars were born, when the cosmos was but a blank canvas waiting to be painted, there existed a force beyond comprehension — Psionica. It was not a simple power or energy, but the fundamental essence that underpinned all reality. Unlike the physical elements or the laws of nature, Psionica was not bound by time or space. It was a cosmic force that flowed through every living being, every atom, every fragment of existence. It was thought, it was life, it was creation. And at its heart, it was Iltara, the Archoness of Magic, who shaped it and gave it form.
Iltara was not the creator of Psionica — for it existed long before she came into being — but she was its master, its guide. She was the one who understood it, who saw its vast currents flowing through the multiverse. Where others saw chaos and disorder, Iltara saw structure. She was the embodiment of Psionica’s purest form, the manifestation of its boundless potential.
Psionica is not a mere tool or a commodity, but a living, breathing force. It exists in a plane above all others, a Primordial Realm that transcends the boundaries of the physical universe and touches the essence of all planes. This plane is not seen with mortal eyes, for it lies beyond the dimensions of space and time, existing outside the laws of conventional reality. Yet, it is the foundation upon which all existence is built, an infinite ocean of thought and energy. Its currents ripple across the multiverse, shaping the thoughts of all sentient beings, the emotions of all creatures, and the very fabric of existence itself.
Though it is intangible, Psionica is everywhere. It binds together all things, both physical and ethereal. Every idea, every spark of creativity, every impulse of life is a manifestation of Psionica’s flow. When a star ignites or a planet forms, it is Psionica that gives birth to the forces of creation, weaving them into existence. And when a being thinks, dreams, or speaks, it is Psionica that carries those thoughts across the multiverse.
Iltara’s role in this cosmic ballet is one of stewardship and guardianship. She did not create Psionica, but she gave it purpose and shape. Through her will, Psionica flows in harmony, maintaining the delicate balance of creation and destruction, light and darkness. She is both its custodian and its channel, guiding the flow of its energy to ensure that it does not overwhelm the fabric of reality.
As Archoness of Magic, Iltara governs the very currents of Psionica, shaping the magical forces that flow through the multiverse. She is the weaver of destiny, the one who ensures that the flow of Psionica remains in balance. Through her, Psionica manifests as a force that can heal or destroy, inspire or corrupt, depending on how it is wielded. But in her hands, Psionica is a force of creation, of magic, of life. She is the embodiment of all that is possible through the energy that exists in all things.
The flow of Psionica is not constant. It ebbs and flows with the rhythms of the universe, sometimes surging with great intensity, other times withdrawing into the silence of the void. It is an energy of great beauty, but also great danger. The currents of Psionica can overwhelm those who are not attuned to it, sending them into madness, or worse, unraveling the very fabric of their being.
Iltara is the one who ensures that Psionica’s flow remains in balance. Her very presence is a stabilizing force, ensuring that the tides of Psionica do not sweep away the worlds and realities it touches. She watches over it with a quiet vigilance, always ensuring that the energy that connects all things does not become a force of destruction. For Psionica, in its purest form, is neither good nor evil — it is simply potential. And it is Iltara who shapes that potential, guiding it toward creation, toward magic, toward life.
It is said that when the multiverse was young, Psionica was untamed, chaotic, a force of wild energy that threatened to consume all existence. But with Iltara’s arrival, the flow of Psionica became ordered, shaped by her understanding and her will. She brought structure to the chaos, ensuring that Psionica could be wielded by those worthy to harness its power, and that its destructive potential could be kept in check.
Thus, Iltara’s role as the Archoness of Magic is not just one of authority, but of responsibility. She is the keeper of Psionica, the protector of its flow. Without her, the currents of Psionica would run unchecked, and the delicate balance of the multiverse could unravel.
