Magnorites

“	Magnorites are a stubborn species, they are as stiff and unyielding as the stone they are made of,but they will never leave an act of kindness unpaid.	”

Physical Description

MagnoriteFrom songs of war wiki https://songs-of-war-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/Magnorite

Magnorites are an elemental species that almost always have a humanoid form that live in the mid south of Ardonia.

  A magnorite's true form is a sapient hot liquid that is similar to lava called a Heart-Stream. A magnorite will create a body to contain his true form, as the magnorite's true form is unstable. After the magnorite makes a body or finds one made for him, he will flow into it by instinct in his true form. The Heart-stream will create the necessary pathways inside the body to control it and allow for the formation of a brain equivalent as well as enchant the body together so it can be controlled and resistant to the Heart-streams heat. When a Magnorites heart-stream comes into contact with inanimate solid matter ,it will begin to animate that matter as a part of a larger body. This process will bind different materials together to form an outer shell around a Magnorite.

  The process puts great stresss on the materials used to create the shell leading to most materials melting or shattering in the attempt.Magnorites need to contain their heart stream to have sentience as  when Magnorites create a physical form pathways are created throughout the internals of the material that allows for more effective transfer of information and the transformation of normal magma into heart-stream ,effectively making a heart and brain which gives them sentience. Without a bodily form Magnorites liquid heart-streams quickly lose sentience and revert to a non- sentient liquid mass that will have an instinctual necesity to reform a body to preserve its existence. A Magnorites liquid form will die within 10 minutes outside a body unless it is put in a container called a Soul Vault. These containers are very rare in modern times due to the knowledge of how to make anything beyond the most basic versions has been lost.

 As Magnorites grow older their heart streams slowly cool down.As their heart-streams cool down Magnorites suffer no noticeable drop in capabilities until the final year of their life in which they slow down greatly and visibly lose most of their glowing exterior until they become immobile in their solid form. Magnorites die when their heart stream cools to a solid black substance (this takes about 30 to 40 years) , which was named by the ancient magnorian anatomist Greg, "ouchy hot pain rock" (on a side note this is not because Greg was stupid ,he just simply didn't care about being official and his description went right to the principles of what its properties were.)

Magnorites must feed their heart-stream by "drinking" molten rock. The materials that their solid bodys are made from must be able to resist melting into molten rock at a fast enough rate to survive their heart stream. Though due to their heart streams inherently magical nature, any material they make their bodies out of automatically becomes more resistant to heat. 

If a magnorite goes over 4 days without absorbing molten rock then their heart stream will begin melting through their own bodie to feed itself. If a magnorite is submerged in lava between 5 to 10 minutes, their heart-stream will become diluted in the magma and lose its life giving properties killing the magnorite.

 Magnorites can replace body parts with relative ease compared to other races but still must seal up openings in their physical form or their heart-stream will leak out and lose control over its form.

Because Magnorites are not organic their wounds do not heal naturally and must be manually sealed. Most Magnorites choose a humanoid form because it is most natural in their world and it is very difficult to create a form a Magnorites liquid form is unfamiliar with. A Magnorites sturdieness is determined by what materials said Magnorite is made of. Magnorites do not reproduce sexually because they are all male, instead new magnorites are created by a group of atleast 12 other Magnorites donating a small amount of each of their heart-streams into a small pool of molten rock and giving the new pre-sapient Magnorite a small amount of minerals to create a body from. Magnorites physical forms are animated by their heart-stream which allows them to grow with a Magnorite. But throughout a Magnorites life more materials will need to be added to replace lost or damaged parts of the body. If these materials properties are to different from one another they weaken the stability of the entire body. Depending on the material the body is made of Magnorites can gain extra strength, health, intellect, memory capability, or even magical resistance.

  As a race Magnorites are vulnerable to enchantments as enchantments mess with the animating properties of the heart-stream ,which could cause a Magnorites body to fall apart, make body parts hard to control, or even cause the heart-stream to stop giving the body heat resistance and then start to melt the Magnorites own body from the inside. This is the same as what happens when Magnorites don't get enough magma and it leads to a very painful death. 
  
  Magnorites heart-streams can also get frozen from outside forces which instantly kills Magnorites. Unless a Magnorite is made from a water sealing material water can get into their "veins" and begin to cool the heart stream. Most Magnorites can only survive water for 3 minutes before dying. 

As a result of the vast majority of Magnorites being made of dense or heavy materials, they can't swim or ride most animals or small boats. 
   
  Magnorites form words by heating or cooling air in small tubes inside their body. This means that younger Magnorites have shrill and loud voices because they have not yet learned the optimal way to create internal speaking parts. This sound has been compared to that of a boiling tea kettle.

Magnorites bodys are very hot and can burn surrounding material unless they actively choose to control it. Magnorites can't wear clothes because they will burn of their bodies and most armor will warp when on them for to long and be unable to change with their bodies shape.
