Description

I've been doing some world-building lately and made changes to the element hierarchy. As such, it was finally time to remake my previous glyph: Yeigahaien

It was fun to create one of these again. I've always loved the original, but it is just a little bit messy in some places. I enjoyed adding some new details to the original patterns, and keeping it nice and neat. Updated the previous lore below, if you wan't to read.

Byondi are very spiritual creatures, and every individual is able to consume their energy to manipulate an element. A byondi can only manipulate one element (hereditary, except Dumaahl, Enigma, and Omni).

There are eight main elements, broken into two groups with one extra. The groups are formed around the two most powerful and opposing elements, Light and Dark. Elements in the "Day" group are more likely to have healing abilities and are associated with the sun. They are Light, Grass, Water, and Wind. Elements in the "Night" group are more likely to have damaging abilities and are associated with the moon. They are Enigma, Earth, Fire, and Thunder.

One final element, Divinity, is its own entity. A Divine byondi is capable of controlling every element. Most consider it a myth. Some believe that long ago, all byondi were Divine, but were reduced to single elements as punishment for angering the gods.

Beautiful detail! The story behind it seems very interesting. I'm a bit confused at your description about the dark element, you mention that a byondi can only master one element except dark, but then mention that it is an ability associated with the moon further down? Just wondering whether there are or aren't dark element specific types? :)
