Glossary

Anima Sourcery, or just Anima, is a subtype of Sourcery involving the "life energy" of the Omnicosm. It is similar—but not quite the same—as All Things; whereas All Things is the Omnicosm's "soul", Anima is what gives that soul "life". Anima is just as pervasive as All Things, yet concentrations of "life energy" can differ wildly between locations. Planets rich in Anima like Hyperborea may see spontaneous generations of life through its elements (e.g. Giants, Ember Therion). 

The potential for what kind of life can arise from Anima is as boundless as the Sourcestar itself. With enough Anima, imagination, and power of belief, even regular denizens of the Omnicosm can spawn life (urban legends can be made "real" this way). That being said, beings born of belief are at the mercy of their origins, ebbing and flowing with the interest of their creators; many will wane as trends move on or fade away completely once forgotten.

Also known as the Universal Magic or just magic, Sourcery (sorcery) is the study of the Universe, Ouroboros, and Omnicosm. Though it shares its definition with Allchemy, Sourcery revolves around what is "nonphysical" or otherwise remote from "reality" (in essence, it's magic; anything involving "unreality" can be called Sourcery), whereas Allchemy does not. The energy all Sourcery is derived from is called the Source, which shares its name with the Sourcestar.

Be it naturally or learned, those that can wield Sourcery are called Sourcerers (name shared with the All is One rank, Citrinitas).
