Demi-Genie

Matter can not be created or destroyed. This fundamental law of the universe bends even the magic of the Universal Spheres to its will. When spellcasters and genies cast the wish spell, they pull from one or more sphere's magical power. This power can leave a mark on the material sphere, often by changing an unborn child’s very nature. When these infants are born, they are Half Breeds; They are half the mortal mothers race, and half the makeup of the elemental sphere they originate from. These entities are called Demi-Genies, for they share resemblance with their Genie cousins.

A Demi-Genie inherits traits from both sides of their unnatural birth. Their physicality and size is inherited by their mortal parent, but their personalities and inherent abilities always come from their parental Sphere. 

Demi-Genie Names

A Demi-genie will often follow the naming conventions of the society in which they are raised, but will sometimes take on a mononym or nickname that references their parental Sphere. Some examples include: Ash, Drippy, Breeze, Mudslide, Eclipse, or Flash.
