Share your head lore about the connection between the Oni and magic.

You've opened possibly the WORST can of worms anon and I love you for it. Thank you for enabling my Autism <333

OKAY, I think the Oni made the first magic, turning their powers into dark abilities that could be used by other beings. They created spells and magic.

Fast forward a few thousand years to the start of the war, a large group of Oni left the realm to another realm, one in the sky. Over a few millenia they changed from what they once were into the first Djinn, their legs gone to match the gravity of this realm, and their magic changed to match it's harshness.

As they had kids and those kids had kids, there were more noteable changes, which led to the modern Djinn like Arrakore, Nadakhan, and Khanjikhan!

Now, as time went on, magic began to shift, and suddenly Djinn magic was also split in two, more dark and malicious for those in power (royalty, nobility, etc) while it was more normal and kind for the average Djinn (like Arrakore.)

Unfortunately, the darker magic is what Djinn are known for as the higher Djinn were the ones who went around spreading their magic and spells.

The Serpentine learned of their magic and integrated it into their culture, twisting and manipulating it into moreso just spells, which would eventually be written and published in their own right (all those spells could be found in Clouse's spellbook.) Serpentine magic doesn't do spells tho, only a Djinn can do spells, it's a natural/genetic thing for them.

Other's chose to practice Djinn magic the ancient way, like Hazza D'ur. Because he wasn't Djinn though, it slowly killed his body, leaving his remains cursed into a painful eternity. He DID find a way to do wish granting but it slowly tore his soul and left him in painful agony, which is why he so rarely did it.
