Prismatics are elemental, magic using entities, that only seem to act chaotically and without reason. Unlike any other magic usage, their magic is completely unattuned, and as a result doesn’t have any real solid use, creating chaotic results that often cause damage and disruptions.

Visually speaking, prismatics look like opaque crystalline things, in different shapes and colors based on what variant of prismatic they are or what element they are attuned to. The different variants all tend to be odd, and all are flat and featureless. Prismatics act without any logical direction. They are like machines, but with no code or purpose. All they seem to do is wander, and cast senseless magic when reacting to things. They are not at all sapient, or sentient, or thinking at all.

Mirribeasts appear to be the result of individuals from other realities being transported to this world. Each used to be human, or a human-equivalent individual, but are now inexplicably in this world, as a Mirribeast. All Mirribeasts are like this, as Mirribeasts never existed outside of this sudden occurrence. Nobody, not even the Mirribeasts, know why this has happened. 

For unknown reasons, despite knowing and remembering who they were in their old world, Mirribeasts don’t seem to show panic or extreme distress over their situation. Even though many do wish to return home, it’s never to a grave degree. While perhaps it is better that they don’t feel anguish over potentially losing all they ever knew, it’s incredibly odd how this happens to every Mirribeast.

Even outside of their origins, Mirribeasts are incredibly weird in this world. Magic, which typically is unusable outside of very specific circumstances, can be used freely by Mirribeasts. While their magic usage is still bound to the exact system that the world’s magic works in, they are able to use it all on their own. Physically, no two Mirribeasts look the same, despite their known similarities. All are some kind of creature, often visually linked to their magical affinity. While there are a number of consistent features, these only really include basic vital features.

However, even with the broad range in each element, an item or individual with an elemental affinity cannot manipulate any concept in an element’s range. Rather, actual usage of an element must be precise, and will inherently be channeled differently between users or devices. Two users of the same element are unlikely to have remotely similar magic abilities.

As mentioned prior, there are seven elements of magic:

Thermal is the element of temperatures, heat and cold, the properties of temperatures, and concepts heavily linked with temperatures. 

Geologic is the element of rocks, minerals, metals and crystals, as the direct material, their properties, or common uses.

Power is the element of energy, as the usage of energy, creation of energy, and types of energy.

Organic is the element of living things and compounds, in the form of aspects of living things, organic materials, or associated properties. 

Fluid is the element of liquids, properties of liquids, or liquid-like states.

Force is the element of unseen forces, in the form of physical forces and their effects, or conceptual forces and their effects.

Artificial is the element of manmade things, both physical and conceptual.

Inhabitants appear as humanoid figures, with an almost holographic or crystalline texture imposed within their forms. They are not at all transparent or translucent, despite the visual, as the strange effects appear on a greyscale base color. Inhabitants lack much dimension to identifying facial features, and their eyes are either a stark flat black or white color.

An inhabitant’s look entirely depends on their parents. Their base greyscale tone is always between the range of their parents’.  The “effect” color of an individual inhabitant is mostly taken from a mix of the approximate colors present in their parents, but on occasion a random color may appear instead.

Inhabitant society is that of city-states, each in a general mix of modern ideology and fantastical antiquity. They lack much of the technology we use today, but have made up for it in use of magic in the realms of medicine, constructing, and simple computing. Trade is very common between different towns and cities, and as a result most places have access to basic needs and resources. As another result, conflict between city-states is virtually non-existent, as nearby places have friendly relations and mutually help each other.

Except… Mirribeasts have the ability to use magic on their own. Their magic usage is still similar to the method of machines, as each has an associated element and particular skill within it.

Geographically speaking, the Next World resembles Earth at an overall glance. Mountains and hills, rivers and valleys, deserts and forests all cover the world, surrounded by oceans and seas. If anything, the most stark difference at first is the relative lack of distance between extremely different biomes. This isn't to say it’s all illogical and obviously impossible, but biome regions all seem to be more haphazard than Earth’s.

The inhabited portions of the world are spots of geographic mass, made of tectonic plates, with landmass edging above the sea as Earth’s continents and islands do. However, these are not parts of a planet, but something more akin to a land floating in space. The oceans and deep tectonics break and fray at their edges, gradating into a sort of space-sea. One could say this space-sea goes on forever, yet with what is known of it, it seems to loop back on itself in a way, in which traveling back to the true sea is never as long as the voyage out.
