A Magic to Melt A Heart (TinCan)

Index

(Unedited)
(Tends to change as the story progresses)

So I would like to further solidify how the world works since some people have asked me about it. I think I should've addressed this before so as to not confuse you peeps. This is not a new chapter btw.

1. Can you tell me more about the different factions?
As you guys know, there are two major factions: Elementalist Association and Beast Summoner Guild. There are smaller factions but at the moment, the most important smaller faction is the Diverse Spirit Clan.

2. Can you tell us who is part of which faction? As of now:
- Elementalist Association (E.A.): Tin
- Beast Summoning Guild (B.S.G.): Ae, Can, Techno and Kengkla
- Diverse Spirit Clan (D.S.C.): Pete

3. What do each clan specializes in?
- E.A.: Be able to utilize different elements such as water, wind, fire, earth etc.
- B.S.G.: Be able to summon different beasts that have different specialties or skills.
-D.S.C: Specializes in healing, mind reading, and manipulation.

4. Level?Rarities? Miscellaneous beasts? Offensive Beasts? What? How do they work?

● So people in this world have different levels and each level has its own grade.

- Levels: Low -> Mid -> High

- Grade for each level:   Gray ->  Green -> Blue -> Purple -> Orange -> Rainbow (Rainbow only applies to High level. Rainbow has its own grade.)

- Rainbow Grade has Tier 1 - Tier 7.

- Rarities: Common -> Uncommon -> Rare -> Epic -> Legendary -> Mythic

●  Rarities apply to beasts, training manuals, materials, and magic skills.

● Different levels mean different strength. For instance, if a blue low level elementalist were to fight a purple low level elementalist, the blue low level elementalist has a really high chance of losing.

● The rarities of the items, skills, and beasts can definitely affect the total strength of the user. For instance, if a gray low level beast summoner has an   epic offensive beast and tried to fight an orange low level beast summoner with common offensive beast, then most likely the one with the epic beast would win.

● There are different kinds of skills, training manuals, materials and beasts.
- Skills, Beasts, Training Manuals : Offensive, Defensive, Miscellaneous

-Each category has its own subcategory.
Offensive: short-range, mid-range, long-range, area of effect, single target
Defensive: self, party
Miscellaneous: transportation, communication, intelligence gathering, item forging, material gathering etc.
-Items, beasts, training manuals that are under the miscellaneous  category  are meant to help the user in  many forms not necessarily offensively and defensively. Let's talk about Can's rare miscellaneous beast, Beholder. It allows Can to transport anywhere within a short amount of time. It cannot fight or defend Can in case there's a battle.

5. How forming a contract with beasts works?

- In order to form a contract with a beast, there are two steps required.

 1) Materials =  A beast summoner needs to call or summon the beast  that he or she would like to form a contract with first. Summoning or calling a beast for the first time requires certain materials. There are three factors to be considered when it comes to the success of summoning a beast: level of the beast summoner, quality of the required summoning materials, and rarity of the beast that is going to be summoned. 

2) Forming a contract =  After successfully summoning a beast, the beast summoner  has to form a contract with the beast. During this stage, the beast and the beast summoner will form an initial connection and see if the two are compatible.  Ultimately, it is up to the summoned beast to decide whether it would want to form a contract with the beast summoner. If the contract formation is a success, the beast summoner will now own the beast. If the contract formation is a failure, the summoned beast will go back to its dimension and the beast summoner will have to try again.

After forming a contract, beast summoners can summon their contracted beasts anytime. If they  want to make their beasts stronger, they can do so by  feeding them with beast food and giving them experience (ex: battle, skill-practice, cultivation etc).

Beast Summoners can pass down their beasts to others if they and their beasts are willing to.

6. How do elementalists learn spells?

- Elementalists rely on training manuals. They can't just watch on youtube to learn. It is not how it works. There are two steps to this.

1) Elementalist has to select a training manual of their choice that is appropriate to their levels. This means that high-level training manuals can only be used by high-level elementalists. After selecting a training manual, the elementalist has to meet the other requirements needed to unseal the manual. These requirements are various materials just like how beast summoners need materials in order to summon their beasts for the first time. 

2) After fulfilling the requirements, the training manual itself will decide if it is appropriate to give the instructions to the elementalist or not. If the elementalist is successful, the training manual will transfer its contents to him or her and then it will be sealed again. If the elementalist failed, the training manual will be sealed again. 

After the contents of the manual were transferred to the elementalist, he or she has to learn and practice in order to utilize the techniques of the manual.

Additional Information (From Chapter 26):There are twelve known elements: Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, Ice, Lightning, Metal, Blood, Light, Darkness, and Void. Generally, a normal elementalist could harness three to four elements. Having five elements could already be considered above average. A person who can harness six and above elements can already be considered rare and a genius. One has to know that as you gain a new element, the harder it is to gain another one which is why the average elementalist could only get three to four elements. In the history of the elementalists, the only known person who managed to possess the twelve elements is the founder and the first elementalist in history.

So this is it for now. Of course the focus of this story is still TinCan but it is necessary to understand the world that they are in. I hope with this, it will help you understand and enjoy reading this fanfiction more.
