Known to scholars as ''omnifex'', Soul Stray is the purest and more powerful essence of Grellis, as it contains a portion of the soul of Grellis. This was solely used to create the [[Eldinar]] race of beings, who predate the gods. The other creations, such as the earth, air, and water, contain only a portion of Soul Stray with the rest coming from lesser essences. Even the gods do not possess only Soul Stray, but half omnifex and half another essence. | |||

Magic on Galwyndor - during the time of the Everwind Series - is outlawed and regarded by most of the population as a myth. According to lore, its use and study was widespread during the time of the Befores (people from antiquity) until it was universally outlawed for fear that magic would destroy the world. A massive campaign was undertaken to seek out all magic users with the aid of powerful eggs called Eari Stones, and all who practiced magic were put to death. An unintended side effect of this was that any races with more than a trace of Soul Stray were also killed. This included the Inar and the Meninar.
A scattered number of groups and individuals have attempted to learn, revive, and restore magic throughout the ages up to the current time with no success due to the existence of the Eari Stones. The Arkaeni are dedicated to revival of magic. It was believed that magic was impossible, but recent developments have proven that it can be done with limited but devastating effects. The drug Adoxipham is believed to be infused with magic.
The Essences of Grellis
There are four types of magical energy, called the Essences of Grellis. These four essences were released when Grellis created the world, and they are said to permeate all of his creations, as well as the creations of the celestial gods.
Soul Stray
Known to scholars as omnifex, Soul Stray is the purest and more powerful essence of Grellis, as it contains a portion of the soul of Grellis. This was solely used to create the Eldinar race of beings, who predate the gods. The other creations, such as the earth, air, and water, contain only a portion of Soul Stray with the rest coming from lesser essences. Even the gods do not possess only Soul Stray, but half omnifex and half another essence.
Bone Stray
Drenifex, or Bone Stray, is a lesser essence of Grellis, which was infused in the earth when a piece of Grellis broke off during creation. This was used to create the god Drend, and thus all the creatures Drend created. It permeated throughout the earth, the land creatures, and all the plantlife.
Breath Stray
Orifex, or Breath Stray, is a lesser essence of Grellis, which was infused in the air when Grellis cried out in pain after the earth broke off during creation. This was used to create the god Orend, and thus all the creatures Orend created. It permeated throughout the air and all the creatures of the sky.
Blood Stray
Helifex, or the Blood Stray, is a lesser essence of Grellis, which was infused with the water when Grellis bled after the earth broke off during creation. This was used to create the god Helirend, and thus all the creatures Helirend created. It permeated throughout the water and all of the creatures there.
