 "type": "magic",
 "subtype": "kaanurlmog",
 "summary": "Kaanurlmog — Outer Magic — encompasses the two forms of magic that exist independently of any individual will: Yoori, the ambient power of collective mortal belief, and Ykheri, the passive ancient force of the natural world itself. Neither can be wielded or cast. Both exist whether or not any living being attends to them.",
 "content": {
  "english": "Outer Magic is the domain of the world — forces larger than any individual that shape reality without being shaped in return.",
  "definition": {
   "summary": "Kaanurlmog describes all magic that exists outside of and independent from living beings. Unlike Inhimog (Kori and Tazri), which requires a practitioner to wield it, Outer Magic moves according to its own nature. It accumulates, shifts, and manifests without invitation. Mortals may perceive it, align with it, be shaped by it, or fall into its orbit — but they cannot command it.",
   "distinction_from_inhimog": "Where Inhimog magic is personal and active — born from or channeled through the self — Kaanurlmog magic is impersonal and ambient. There are no stages of mastery for Yoori or Ykheri because there is no practitioner. A person may become an echo of Yoori or learn to read Ykheri's rhythms, but they do not wield these forces. They are, at most, instruments of something much older and larger than themselves.",
   "types": {
    "yoori": {
     "name": "Yoori",
     "translation": "Group-Energy",
     "source": "The collective belief of mortals — born of repetition, reverence, symbols, lineages, sacrifice, and story told across generations. Yoori coalesces wherever belief is thick enough to take on a life of its own.",
     "nature": "Ambient and emergent. Yoori cannot be wielded or controlled. It forms spontaneously around people, places, and ideas that have accumulated sufficient mythic weight. One does not cast Yoori — one becomes Yoori's echo.",
     "key_traits": [
      "Accumulative — grows over generations, not moments",
      "Resists falsehood — manufactured myths fade or backfire",
      "Lingers after death — sacred places and revered names hold Yoori long after their originators are gone",
      "Shapes narrative — mortals aligned with powerful archetypes may find their lives bent toward mythic outcomes"
     ],
     "manifestations": [
      "Creation of autonomous spirits or deities in the Arcane Sea",
      "Possession or empowerment of mortals aligned with mythic roles",

     "name": "Ykheri",
     "translation": "Naturepower",
     "source": "Fir'Gol itself — the slow, monumental pressure of stone, sea, air, and cycle. The oldest magic in the world, predating mortal life.",
     "nature": "Passive and ancient. Ykheri does not respond to will, has no incantation, and cannot be cast. It governs the land, sea, sky, and seasons. Those who attune themselves to it may perceive its patterns — predict weather, sense terrain shifts, recognize magical interference in natural cycles — but they do not direct it. Ykheri allows, or it does not.",
     "key_traits": [
      "Passive — it does not act; it is",
      "Indifferent — Ykheri has no awareness of mortal concerns",
      "Cumulative in response — magical interference that disrupts Ykheri builds toward ecological consequences over time",
      "Ancient — older than any living system of magic"
     ],
     "domain": [
      "Mountains, hills, plains",

     "not_included": [
      "Living creatures, monsters, or beasts",
      "Individual plants (though forests and ecosystems reflect its rhythm)"
     ],
     "response_to_abuse": "Repeated magical interference — through sustained Kori manifestations or aggressive Tazri ritual — causes cumulative Ykheri imbalance: magical flooding, rockslides, droughts, and the land's gradual resistance to habitation.",

    }
   },
   "interaction": {
    "summary": "Yoori and Ykheri operate in entirely separate domains — one shaped by mortal story, the other by geological and climatic forces — and do not directly interact with each other. Both, however, interact with Inhimog magic in important ways.",
    "yoori_and_inhimog": "Yoori can magnify how Kori expresses in individuals of mythic significance. High ritual Tazri may draw Yoori influence into arcane channels, amplifying or distorting spell effects in ways the caster did not intend.",
    "ykheri_and_inhimog": "Powerful Kori manifestations and high Tazri ritual can temporarily disrupt local Ykheri. These disruptions are brief in isolation, but accumulate with repetition into lasting environmental damage.",
    "key_distinction": "Neither Yoori nor Ykheri can be weaponized or commanded. Their influence on Inhimog is always ambient — a pressure, a weight, a consequence — never a tool."
   },
   "shared_traits": [
    "Both are passive — they do not require a practitioner to exist or function.",
    "Both are older than any mortal tradition of magic.",
    "Both influence living beings without being controllable by them.",
    "Both respond to mortal actions, but in their own time and on their own terms.",
    "Neither has stages of mastery — they are forces, not disciplines."

Both require the practitioner's body and soul to be the site of magic itself. Inner Magic is the domain of the self — magic that lives in flesh, soul, and will. Inhimog describes all magic that originates from or passes …

It manifests in four distinct currents: two that arise within living beings (Inhimog), and two that exist in the wider world (Kaanurlmog). Magic in Fir'Gol is not a single force but a constellation of distinct currents, each with its own origin, nature, and relationship to the beings that encounter it.

history.events.the_great_forgetting The Great Forgetting The Yoori Wounds event second_age The Fírâî's second crime: in the year after their ascension they tore wounds through Yoori, the magic of collective belief, and used them to suppress all memory of dragon origins and of the Ritual of Drakorys across every people in the world. The suppression ran in phases for twelve hundred years, ending with dragons reduced to symbol everywhere. The wounds were never closed and are maintained still by three of the Five; Yoori resists falsehood by nature and has been healing without their consent since …

### Ykheri / Ykheri  (magic · kaanurlmog, canon id: magic-kaanurlmog-ykheri)
magic.kaanurlmog.ykheri Ykheri magic kaanurlmog Ykheri is the unshaped, unspoken magic of Fir’Gol — the slow, monumental power of stone, sea, pressure, and cycle. It does not respond to will. It has no incantation. It is not shaped or cast like Kori or Tazri. It is perceived, endured, and at rare moments, it responds — not with obedience, but with allowance. Ykheri governs the structures and patterns of the natural world: the flow of rivers, tectonic drift, stormwinds, and the long breath of forests. While it cannot be wielded, skilled individuals may align with its rhythm to survive, …
