They will think that the Creator the angels speak of is just another god, albeit the King of the Gods (like Zeus or Odin). They will confuse the angels with gods themselves. There "must" be a rational explanation for the angels' powers that don't involve the Creator (even if the atheists don't know what that is, they'll believe it is so). So, if atheists distrust the angels (and they would, since angels are preaching monotheism that is antithetical to their atheism) they would just argue that the angels are spreading a lie in order to manipulate the masses. So, knowing of the angels existence doesn't intrinsically mandate a belief in God. They "claim" that they were given their power by God. Unlike my earlier question which does have many different types of spirits including Angels visiting Earth these Angels actively preach about their God and there have no rival spiritual creatures preaching other religions. How do I explain why monotheism hasn't completely taken over as the main religion in this world, given how powerful the angels are?** ** seeing as the angels are more powerful then the other creatures and they are the only ones who can see into possible futures. Their purpose is to serve as transmitter between the creator and the other races, and they form a type of priesthood. These gifts were given them in order to "show off" the power of the creator. Apart from glowing wings they also have the ability to look into the future, and have - as the only beings - access to divine magic.

Occasionally they interact with elves.Īngels: Angels are humans, brought back from death to serve the creator as messengers. They are rarely seen & interact very little with humans.

They are spiritual beings, tied to the physical nature. Nature spirits: The race of the nature spirits is divided into different types like pixies, dryads, nyads, and so on. Trolls: Much like the dwarves, Trolls are also a race that resulted due to mutations in the human race. They're the race made in the image of the creator, which is why humans and their offshoot species are the only non-spiritual beings who can practice magic.Įlves: An offshoot species created by breeding humans with nature spirits.ĭwarves: Dwarves are a race that resulted from mutated humans. Humans: Humans make up most of the population of my world. There are 6 different races living in my world: The effect is limited to the amount of mana in the area, and once the mana in the area is fully used up it has to be replenished by the nature spirits. This type of magic consumes mana, a resource produced by nature spirits which they distribute evenly in nature. Nature Magic: The user makes permanent changes to reality.

It also does not consume spiritual energy. This type of magic only works if the goal is in line with the creator, and therefore cannot be used selfishly. Wizardry: The user makes use of his "spiritual energy" to make temporary changes to reality.ĭivine Magic: The user makes permanent changes to reality.
