In this regard, he has stopped various supernatural threats from attacking the domain of his universe's Crystal, including a sentient dimension, hellbent on sustaining its hunger for the essence of cosmic energies.

As the Incarnation of the Power IsoMatrix on Earth-1, Magister has the ability to absorb the conceptual power and essence of any object with a touch. Through this technique, Magister can store and utilize the powers and abilities of anyone he comes into contact with - even supernatural beings. There is a risk to using this ability haphazardly however, as Magister imprints aspects of the target being into his own essence, running the risk of changing his behavior if not properly handled.

Throughout the worlds and dimensions that Magister travels, occasionally he will come across a natural nexus of magical energies and power. These energies, which appear as fulcrums of higher-dimensional magical power, are generally beyond the detection of most mortal beings.

Revision as of 21:12, 29 March 2023

The name or term "Aiden Grayson" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Aiden Grayson (disambiguation).
The Archetypal sorcerer - almost to a fault, depending on who you ask.

Aiden Ethan Grayson is the Sorcerer Supreme of the universe designated as "Earth-1" in the larger multiverse. His official title is "Magisterus Praeceptorus Lacertus" ("Teacher of Power"), which simplifies to "Magister". He is also the CEO of Archeon Incorporated in his world, similar to his Mainline Counterpart.

Summary

Magister is one of the few beings in the multiverse to be born as an Astral, a being attuned to the higher cosmos. Though unaware of this fact for most of his life, Magister does carry within him a latent ability to perceive and interact with the fabric of reality - an ability that eventually guided him towards the Crystal of Earth-1, ultimately leading him to become the Sorcerer Supreme of the universe.

Although not as well versed in the trappings of Sorcerer Supreme work, relative to that of his original teacher, Magister still maintains an incredibly efficient work ethic - in an attempt to live up to the examples set before him. In this regard, he has stopped various supernatural threats from attacking the domain of his universe's Crystal, including a sentient dimension, hellbent on sustaining its hunger for the essence of cosmic energies.

Early on in Aiden's life, as he first began his training to become Sorcerer Supreme, he was eventually taught by his main mentor - utilizing incredibly....."esoteric" methods. Regardless of their intent, their actions would quickly form an emotional rift between Magister and themselves, leading to a strained relationship in the coming years. Nevertheless, Magister persisted in his studies and training to become the most effective sorcerer in his universe.[1]

Magister has a somewhat strained relationship with his family, due to the nature of his work as Sorcerer Supreme.[2]

Powers & Abilities

Conceptual Absorption

As the Incarnation of the Power IsoMatrix on Earth-1, Magister has the ability to absorb the conceptual power and essence of any object with a touch.

Magic

As the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-1, Magister is imbued with an unfathomable and virtually infinite degree of magical energy - similar to other Sorcerers Supreme.

Due to this infusion of self-perpetuating energy, Magister is capable of magical feats with a near-unlimited degree of scale and complexity.

Skills

As Sorcerer Supreme, Magister is uniquely trained in various disciplines, much like his peers.

Due to his years of training under the tutelage of various Gods and Sorcerers Supreme such as Igestis, he has demonstrated various skills over his years of work.

Operational Preferences

Combat

Magister has a free-flowing approach to combat that involves extensive displays of dexterity, skill and complex maneuvers; which he uses to harmlessly disable his foes, if possible.

Runes

Magister generally prefers utilizing specialized runes. In Magister's standard missions, runes are seen as mana circuits. They're magnetized structures which can draw ambient mana from their environment, in order to amplify their effects, as casted by the user in most situations. As ethereal structures that are only partially phased into normal space, the runes are incapable of being tampered with in conventional manners; nor are they able to be suppressed without magical interventions.

Gestures

As a Sorcerer Supreme, Magister has an extensive amount of knowledge involving the activation of magical phenomena through gestures. As a form of evocation magic, gestures allow Magister to utilize small portions of the magical energy stored inside of his body to evoke a certain effect. By utilizing specific magical gestures, Magister can redirect the flow of mana throughout his body into shapeable effects in the form of his hand gestures.

Incantations

Another form of evocation achieved through vocal recitation of ancient words of power. Arcane words hold intrinsic and inherent meaning within them. Speaking the true nature of an arcane word unlocks its inner power for the user - allowing the effect of magic to be magnified through various incantations.

Reverse reading of incantations is more difficult, but allows for an exponentially more powerful magnification of the magical effect being utilized.

Natural Phenomena

Throughout the worlds and dimensions that Magister travels, occasionally he will come across a natural nexus of magical energies and power. Magister can utilize these nexuses of magical energy for his own purposes.

  • Magister spends most of his time in his Sanctum's Library - The "Locus Scientia" ("Place of Knowledge").
  • Magister generally is the most serious of the Sorcerers Supreme during field work - due to his method of rationalizing the circumstances he found himself in with Igestis years ago.
