Every character in this world has the potential to create, develop special abilities. Artes are special abilities of different natures, that surpass the normal mortal limits of the body, mind and soul. These abilities tend to use Essentia; which can be described as the background energy of all things living and inanimate.
Before the well known humanoid races discovered the power of Essentia, practical yet limited training was the peak of ability (Skills and traits). Over time the knowledge of Essentia became available when people started to develop Arcane Powers, and surpassed their previously perceived bodily limits. While societies grew larger, so did the practice of manipulating this power from the body and the surrounding environment.
Artes are divided into two categories: Extraordinary, and Supernatural.
Extraordinary Artes are those born from within the body and spirit of the user. These type of Artes allow creatures to do great physical acts, usually through the expenditure of Essentia. When spent, the power is channeled through the body, creating a desired effect on the person or his surroundings.
Supernatural Artes are those born from the use of the soul and mind to control forces usually outside the body. These type of artes allow creatures control over natural and unnatural forces, or even allow their will to effect others or the surroundings. When spent, Essentia is channeled from the person's being out into the world where their will bends reality.
