In Inuit mythology, Igaluk is one of the most powerful gods of the pantheon. He is a lunar deity. One day, as Igaluk looked at the women, he found that his sister was the most beautiful. And so that night, as everyone slept, he crept into the women's dwelling and forced himself upon her. As it was dark, Malina was unable to tell who her attacker was, but the next night, when the same thing happened. Afterwards, she took a lamp and looked through the skylight of the men's lodge. She was surprised to find that the man was Igaluk, her own brother. So Malina sharpened her knife and cut off her breasts. She put them in a bowl and carried this to the men's lodge, and presented it to Igaluk, saying "If you enjoy me so much, then eat these," and ran away out the door, grabbing a torch as she went. Igaluk chased after her, likewise taking a torch, and was able to easily follow her path, as her footsteps were marked with great pools of blood. However, he tripped and dropped his torch, and the flame was put out, except for a faint glow. Eventually however, Igaluk caught up to his sister, and the two ran so fast that they took off into the sky and became the moon and the sun.

Isis was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world .  Isis was also known for her magical power, which enabled her to revive Osiris and to protect and heal Horus, and for her cunning. By virtue of her magical knowledge, she was said to be "more clever than a million gods". In several episodes in the New Kingdom story "The Contendings of Horus and Set", Isis uses these abilities to outmaneuver Set during his conflict with her son. On one occasion, she transforms into a young woman who tells Set she is involved in an inheritance dispute similar to Set's usurpation of Osiris' crown. When Set calls this situation unjust, Isis taunts him, saying he has judged himself to be in the wrong. In later texts, she uses her powers of transformation to fight and destroy Set and his followers.

Minjae was granted with the abilities of Mystokinesis, the ability to manipulate and create magic, as well as Erebokinesis, the ability to manipulate and create darkness. Isis, known as the Goddess of many things, but in particular, magic. She was well versed in it, could create or manipulate whatever her mind could conceive but Minjae’s mystokinesis only stretches as far as he learns. He spent a great deal of his life  and childhood, r indulging his capabilities, learning knew spells and potions along with charms. But with those learnt abilities comes those to which he can’t control. His manipulation over magic gives him the mental uses of telepathy and telekinetic powers. He is not only limited to potions and spell casting. He’s able to create force fields, heal and absorb magical energy as well as creating it. He in essence can create whatever he knows how, create portals and detect magic. Shape shifting, reality morphing and potion creation are also just the tip of the ice burg for him.

But then Minjae’s powers grow a little deeper, venturing to the dark side of magic, as well as darkness with in it’s self. He’s able to control it, manipulate and make it tangible. Create creatures with in it and consume the his surroundings. Shadow figures bow at his feet, and it seeps into his veins like venom. It can control his moods, intense stress and anger making him dangerous, a demon of sorts. Something not to messed with. To poke at, a festering beast beneath the surface of a ticking time bomb.

triggers in the following passage: Depression, Mental Instability,  Mild Body Dysmorphia, Bulimia, Adoption,

Minjae’s early child hood was an intense blur of social services and office buildings. His birth parents just a figment of his imagination by the time he was five and he couldn’t fathom another family than the one that adopted him. Unbeknownst to him going from a family of seven to a family of three, the only child to a traveling nurse and an English teacher. Both traveling the world in search of spiritual release and for their jobs that helped them live a steady upper middle class life.

On the out side looking in, traveling the world seemed like an ideal life to live, but to Minjae it was the epitome of loneliness. Bouncing from school to school, learning new languages and only having friendships barely lasting a few months, and a love life non-existent. His parents gave him everything he could ask for, docile in their ways, while teaching him the cultures of the planet. But an idle mind brings evil thoughts, and as Minjae’s powers began to surface, they began to mess with his mental state.

Early adolescence brought on insecurities. Turning into a lover of the environment as well as a lover of the arts, Minjae had always felt that his physic was never up to par to those around him. A natural at dance, he spent practices in long shirts and sweat pants, suffering in sweltering heat to cover a body that in actuality was beautifully sculpted, muscular yet soft. But as darkness crept into his veins it spoke to him, told him things that weren’t true and painted the distorted image of his body, and of the people surround him. There was a time where he believed the world was against him, a time where everywhere he traveled he felt eyes peering at him in the darkness, heard the critiques of shadowed voices. He forced fingers down his throat, and screamed at nothing, trying desperately to get the darkness from his head. It spiraled him into a tragic depression, a once happy, spiritual and wise, sunshine of a child diminished to an empty shell.

It took time for him to find the issue to realize that it wasn’t him that was the problem but an ability had been granted that with out control could consume him.. He slowly found a way to diminish them, dark voices and demonic thoughts, found a way to control and even learned how to use. And as that subsided strange things happened. Flowers popped up out of thin air, books began to float, his hair changed shades with an accidental snap and he had turned the family dog into a cat with just a touch, a cat he still has. His magic shined brighter than his darkness, and he spent the rest of his time learning how to use it.
