Paranormal

The paranormal refers to anything that is not a regular feature of our understanding. It exists outside of our current understanding of science, perhaps using science much more advanced than ours, or perhaps getting their existence from a supernatural source. In our world, the paranormal manifests in one small area: Palo Duro Canyon. It is here that Arscil's influence can be felt the most. Most discussion of the paranormal deals with paranormal beings or items/powers, which most if not all are created by the canyon goddesses. The paranormal are confined within the barrier.

All paranormal things are related to the Arscil Soul and its properties.

Paranormal Arts/Rituals

The paranormal arts are various rituals that you can do inside the canyon in order to cause a supernatural effect. It is like the concept of magic, but it only works in the canyon and it something that is actually real. Witches are adept at the paranormal arts and can use it to heal people, or cast spells. All spells call upon the power of the Arscil Soul and the goddesses to do something specific. The paranormal arts can include:

Summoning a demon or angel
Creating a soul maiden
Summoning a goddess so you can talk to them
Going to Arscil without dying
Healing
Telekinesis or Psychokinetic Powers
Advanced regeneration (immortality and plant growing and such)
Improving physical characteristics (speed, durability, strength)
Transformation and transfiguration (changing form, turning you into a canyon being, etc.)
Curses and corruption (removing one's humanity, mind control, etc.)
Speaking/understanding other being's languages without having to learn them

The paranormal arts are when one creates a reality of what they want to happen in their mind, embedding their imagination into the psychic element. They then use their advanced connection to the element to superimpose their reality onto our reality, creating the power in the real world. The power from Arscil is therefore the physical imagination that comprises the realm overlaying with the canyon. Though human souls are much weaker and unable to impose our reality onto actual reality, this energy is made easily available to enlightened humans such as witches and allows them to impose their reality/ cast their spells with only a little bit of mental concentration practice.
