Essence - Divided into six: (Life, Death, Space, Time, Light, Dark). It is the main source of power for the Celestials. One can be Blessed if they absorb an essence, or if a God blessed them with it. Understanding it could help the Celestials advance.
Intense Emotion - A state of experiencing intense psychological feelings (Wrath, Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, Envy) that, if someone succumbs to, will corrupt them and turn them into a demon.
Verve - Universal energy that fuels beings, enabling them to use supernatural abilities (Intense Emotions, Essence, Mana, Qi, Aura, Elements).
Dreamflow - An ocean within consciousness where the soul exists in the form of a shard. While Understanding Essence refines and expands the shard like a polished gem, increasing its Verve density and purity, succumbing to Intense Emotion shatters it like flawed crystal. The resulting shard fragments create vastly more surface area within the Dreamflow, allowing it to hold more raw Verve, but this energy is chaotic, unstable, and inherently corrupted. (Only applies to Angels and Demons.)
Sparkline - A circuit in the body through which Verve travels, transforming it into abilities. The finer the sparkline, the better the flow.
Celestial Hierarchy - Ranking of Blessed, divided into 3 stages each: Dawn, Sky, Prime.
* Blessed
* Angel
* Archangel
* Principalities
* Powers
* Virtues
* Dominions
* Thrones
* Cherubim
* Seraphim
* Celestial God
Nobles of the Abyss - Ranking of Demons, divided into 3 stages each: Ash, Blood, Hell.
* Demon
* Greater Demon
* Demon Lord/Lady
* Demon Baron/Baroness
* Demon Viscount/Viscountess
* Demon Count/Countess
* Demon Marquess/Marchioness

* Demon Prince/Princess
* Demon King/Queen
* Abyssal Demon God
Conditionals: A Blessed can be corrupted by Intense Emotions, transforming them into a Demon one rank above (e.g., Angel to Demon Lord), while retaining their Blessed abilities. However, a Demon can only become Blessed if a Celestial purifies its shard, making it a Celestial one rank lower (e.g., Demon Lord to Angel).
