The first civilized species come together and form their tribes, amidst the flora and fauna of Early Agea. The sands flow, the forests sing their green songs, and the sun shines.
The Urfolk create Mindworks, a form of psionics.
Mindworks ~ Psionic Casting
The caster's rank is equal to its APT. Effectiveness of abilities using this casting form are based on (Memory / Intelligence). New abilities are found by witnessing them in the world, or experimenting over time. New abilities are learned by spending experience and time for training. Abilities cannot be bestowed. Using an ability may develop said ability in new ways. Overuse or untrained use cause physical ailments and physical strain. Knowledge of abilities may be shared through writing, but is twice as difficult to use for training.
The Apophi create Divinities, a form of divine casting.
Divinities ~ Divine Casting
The caster's rank is equal to its APT. Effectiveness of abilities using this casting form are based on (Will / Charisma). New abilities are found by witnessing them in the world, or through significant trials of faith. New abilities are learned by oral training between creatures or by temporary or permanent bestowal. Overuse of abilities may cause them to become unavailable for a certain duration based on APT. Knowledge of abilities are shared through oral or written training, and are equally effective.
The Suira are incapable of developing or using auric castings. They do, however, begin in-depth trainings for a martial form called Standings.
Standings ~ Martial Training
The user's rank is developed through training, starting at 1st. Effectiveness of abilities using this martial form are based on (Power & Finesse / Strength & Dexterity). New abilities are learned through oral or written training. Overuse of abilities may cause physical strain. Knowledge of abilities are shared through oral or written training, with oral training being twice as effective.

An understanding of the elemental wheel is hinted at, but remains out of reach for all members.
Early language is discovered, but not developed anywhere enough to be usable for training nor recollection.
