The magicae (Magus cor) is a domesticated energy being and the only living member of the Magus genus. It was selectively conjured by priests in Ancient Mesopotamia to ward demons from sacred temples. Magicae, angels, and spirits share a common ancestor. Magicae were first contacted in their natural forms, but due to their long association with humanity, they gained the ability to exist within artificial bodies like objects and in living people. During that time, priests who conjured magicae oftentimes found it necessary to be inhabited by a one while working, claiming that a demonic presence would be unable to corrupt their hearts if so.
Today, magicae exist in varying forms, but are usually observed in their 'created' and 'inhabited' forms. Their population sits at over 13 million particles within our world, each of them weighing under 2 lbs. It is unknown what the maximum weight a magicae can be, as their physical attributes vary greatly depending on the form, age, and power. They contain no bones, no organs, and are made entirely out of energy (thermal, electric, chemical, magnetic, and waves). Because of this, they are able to take any shape that contains any of these energies, appear as multiple living beings at once, and exist energetically within a form they do not inhabit. Magicae have superior senses to spirits and certain types of angels. Compared to humans, a magicae possess heightened strength and hearing, but lacks adequate sight. Alongside wardening, magicae also act as companions, pets, or spiritual guides to humans.
Communication between magicae includes chemical communication and speech. Amongst each other, there may be stronger pheromones/scents, heat/cold spots, or sudden chemical reactions outside of human interference. Magicae have also developed a centuries old language mode by use of energetic wavelengths. These are known as 'neural hiveminds' and supposedly allow for magicae to speak to each other without audible frequencies. Their sense of wholeness, culture, and the aural practices they perform often take shape within co-called 'covens'. Covens are groups that have kinship bonds and use verbiage that confirms to scientists that magicae have some sense of familial connection to each other depending on how close they are in proximity.
The two major languages to come from these neural hiveminds is Voces Magicae and Airosse. Because of the nature of these languages and the frequencies they are heard on, it is almost impossible for radios and other recording equipment to pick up on. Studies suggest that the current knowledge of magicae in regards to their languages and covens are the only pieces of information that humans know beyond their origin and use in society. As opposed to Voces Magicae, the Airosse language of the Airossiry coven is believed to be completely impossible to translate.
The Voces Magicae language is taught by the largest coven, the Maey coven. It is a widely spoken language with 9 million speakers across the globe. The Maey coven's language has adapted to human influence as well, with it being possible to be felt through chemical interference, greatly increasing the chances of decoding sentences between magicae. The Maey system is a byproduct of this discovery as categories made by magicae formally label each other by their age and their power.
Age
Theia-Lower frequency when speaking
Sira-Medium range frequency when speaking
Vala-Higher frequency when speaking
Power
Hirti-Divination power
It is speculated that both age and power come in handy when addressing and speaking to other magicae. It also may indicate that their is a hierarchy between the two categorical structures, with a Vala Labli being the eldest and most powerful for its age and ability to summon counsel amongst deities. While humans have been unable to prove that magicae possess the need or ability for worship, magicae are aware of a 'higher power'. It is possible that amongst these covens and their beliefs, they worship themselves, but no specific ritualistic behavior has been found in Voces Magicae speakers.
It is currently unknown if magicae are able to experience illness like other living beings are due to their energetic properties, despite being able to inhabit and live in a sick or disabled body. According to studies that group inhabiting magicae and human beings into two groups; the bodies of the magicae suffered similarly as the natal born humans did regardless of their specieal difference. This may indicate that not only do magicae experience human emotion but also human physiology when inhabiting a human body. This same study, however, detailed the physical differences between the magicae and human beings. While the humans selected for the study had steady gendered/sexual identities, the magicae did not. The study group lacked a sense of culture around sexual dimorphism, the binary genders, and reproductive health, opting for answers like 'unsexed' or 'neutral' in relation to their body. 15 out of 22 of the magicae claimed that their genitalia had been removed or completely altered to perform less "like a humans." Scientists speculate that their lack of reproductive organs in their natural forms decides this behavior precisely, as magicae only reproduce through a method similar to parthenogenesis. They claim it follows along in the long list of correlations such as the lack of great eyesight in inhabited bodies and odd speech patterns.
A magicae's maximum lifespan is known to be set to ~200 years but there are magicae recorded to have lived for much longer. The energy that makes up a magicae must be freshly created without assistance from another source in order to be considered newly born. For example, the thermal energy from an already lit candle is not the creation of a magicae's life. Instead, the chemical reaction in a lighter is.
