[THIS BOOK IF WRITTEN IN OLD AND VERY FORMAL LANGUAGE; IT IS ALSO TOO LONG TO WRITE IT ALL DOWN- SO HERE IS A SUMMARY WITH MOST IMPORTANT POINTS]

Every being on the planet has certain magic/energy inside of them. Although elemental magic can be used even by the simpliest flora or fauna of the planet, only creatures of higher intelligence are able to use emotional energy. Therefore only these more intelligent, humanoid beings can turn into Deathlingtures.

Deathlingtures are creatures that had their beggining of existence influenced by uncontrollable emotional energy created during humanoid being's death. Spotters of certain Deathlingture can learn a lot about their previous life not only from the type of deathlingture, but their appearance and basic humanoid abilities that they might possess (like speaking). Initiating a contact with a Deathlingture can be a very learning experience, but it can also be a very dangerous practice- that is why, before approaching a Deathlingture, make sure you positively identified the creature as one of the docile/friendly types.

Magical realism

After Achieving Order/After Creating Borders.

Book covers not only the usage of the magic, but also how magic is transported to different bodies after death and how huge amounts of it can create another beings. It excludes magic possessed by Dieties/Gods, because their sort of magic seems to not apply to any other types of magic (and Dieties themselves does not seem to be interested in sharing their secrets).

--Deathlingtures are humanoid creatures with different varieties of intelligence; they are not born, but created, as they do not grow up or grow old; they can't be considered a Race (like humans or Syrinx es for example) because they do not have any kind of own culture or language. Their type and looks are being influenced by their previous life and emotions that they felt before dying.

--Every Race has the ability to turn into Deathlingtures if driven by intense emotions.

--Magic powered by certain element isn't strictly binded to spells related to this specific element.

Only Deathlingtures that can speak can be considered to be intelligent.

Only people who felt sadness are turned into intelligent and docile Deathlingtures.

It had huge influence on the understanding of magic and energy; people who read it and/or believe in knowledge from this book are more compassionate towards humanoid creatures (not races); it makes people want to seek an answer to how and why such creature has been brought to existence. It also helped magic "gifted" people to control and improve their skills.

1. -- "Being turned into a deathlingture"
   ex. "X made me so angry I will turn into deathlingture"- feeling extremly intense emotions; feeling so sad, mad or jealous that you believe it will affect your afterlife.

This book was created and written around 127-128th year A.A.O. (After Achieving Order or, in other words, after creating boarders). Some of the first findings had been talked around Fayev and Sirin as early as 115 A.A.O; some parts had been based on the ancient knowledge that some races had passed from generation to generation since anyone can remember.

127-128 A.A.O.

Real life creatures, humans and races

It was written by four elder magicians and proffessors from Magic Guild situated in Sirin. Three of the authors are very well known and respected Sirinians of human race, where the fourth one, signed only as "N.L." is speculated to be a Syrinx from Sylazora.

People who had read it, which is mostly scholars, are giving away their knowledge of and from this book to their students, later on these students (usually) are passing it on to their fellows during casual conversations and they spread it further to unfamiliar crowds.
