Magnus

A Magnus is a physical manifestation of one's spirit animal which is tasked to guide its host. By taming them, they grant the host elemental abilities that are innate to each user. Untamed Magnus' transform into Malices, which transforms their host into a grotesque monster.

History
Magnus are tasked to guide their hosts to live a fulfilling life, they are formed by the different elements that exist in the universe to protect humans. In the past, Magnus' only existed spiritually within the host's body, until a Filipino Mage was able to find a way to summon a Magnus through a Magnus-Binding Ritual which allowed them to tame their magnus and merge with them through a Magnus emblem to use their abilities. This ritual allowed to Magnus to take a physical form, allowing them to be perceived by the human eye.

Since then, Magnus' have helped humanity by granting them abilities to combat with dark entities such as Malices. Magnus are also able to communicate to their hosts telepathically. If the host had wished to use their Magnus's ability, they would only need to command it telepathically, and the Magnus would fuse with them through the Magnus Emblem marked on their skin.

Appearance
Magnus' appear as little creatures that take the shape of different animals, sometimes in other cases they might look like something exotic. They may come in different size and colors but no larger than a adult human hand.

Abilities
Magnus' are immortal, which means if their host was to die with a fulfilling life, they would simply manifest into a new host. However, if the Magnus were to fail to lead their hosts in a fulfilling life, they will be transformed in malices which needs to be exorcised by another mage in order to move on to another host.

Magnus have unique abilities depending on their element, though it is possible for someone to inherit the same ability as another person, this cannot exist at the same time; for example, Alexis's Wind ability is the name as his grandfather's, but his grandfather had died before he was born, which means that his grandfather's Magnus has chosen Alexis as its next host.
