Threshold Trivia: L'avan Magic

New feature! Fans like trivia, right? And you guys are my fans, right? Well, at least, you humor me...which is almost the same thing. So, here is my new idea for keeping my blog interesting. I will occasionally post trivia about my book, "The Threshold Child," for anyone who cares to read it. There are a lot of aspects about that world that I know as the author, but they didn't necessarily make it to the book (or they weren't spelled out clearly). Now you can know those things, too! Oh, the excitement! Also, feel free to ask questions. If it isn't a spoiler, I would be happy to answer.


The L'avan are a race of magic-users, and each person has eyes that indicate what kind of magic they can use. All of the eye colors have a metallic sheen, but here is the breakdown of each kind:

* Gold: Energy--life force can be taken or given, physical energy can be increased, etc.
* Dark Orange: Force--kind of like telekinesis.
* Red: Manipulation (Illusion)--they can only create the appearance of change.
* Dark Red: Manipulation (Physical)--they can change physical properties, alter the flow of air or water, etc.
* Light Yellow: Harmony--healing, melding things together (like making two stones into one), etc.
* Purple: Focus--this can intensify other powers.
* Dark Blue: Density--when increased the wielder can become invulnerable, when decreased they can pass through solid objects.
* Light Blue: Gravity--like the others, this can be increased or decreased.
* Dark Green: Insight (Physical)--they can sense the world around them, even if they can't physically see it.
* Light Green: Insight (Spiritual)--they can sense the emotions and intentions of others.

Most L'avan have two eye colors (the main color is the stronger ability, and then there is a supporting color/ability), but occasionally a L'avan will only have one color. No one has ever had more than two colors. 

What kind of magic would you want to have?
