The Code of the Lifemaker



The Code of the Lifemaker is the secret rites by which one may access the power of the Magister Magi who created Mundus Magicus. It would not be too far afield to call it a debug mode for the Magic World.

The Code has been lost ever since the passing of the original Lifemaker into legend. In the modern day, only Cosmo Entelecheia know for certain if it ever even really existed.

The Keys
The Code of the Lifemaker takes the form of various sorts of Master Keys to the world.

There are a large number of regular Master Keys, granting a fairly pedestrian cheats around the laws of the world - most commonly this takes the form of immunity to the attacks of those who hail from the Magic World, and the ability to completely destroy the bodies of those people with one's own attacks.

Then there are seven Grand Master Keys, granting greater control - the power to teleport without range, the power to move someone without their consent. The power to rewrite a native's body to nothing with nothing more than a word.

And then there is the greatest embodiment of the Code of the Lifemaker: The Great Grand Master Key.

The Great Grand Master Key
The Great Grand Master Key is a magical staff allowing unfettered access to the principles of the Magic World - allowing its wielder to steal away or bestow life or rewrite the laws of the very world itself. For all intents and purposes, the one who holds the Great Grand Master Key is the Pillar of Mundus Magicus.

Although the Magic World is different enough from other worlds that one coming into possession of the Great Grand Master Key would not truly wield the power of a god, this greatest of keys grants enough power that the difference is only clear when set against the powers of a true Creator...

...and as the Final Decree's force crumbles, diligent mages might just find a way to circumvent even these original limitations to the Code.
