Visvalker
Visvalkers are individuals who possess a strong connection to the spirits of other worlds, granting them unique abilities and talents. Because of this, Visvalkers are often destined for great things, both good and bad. Many cultures throughout history have revered or feared them, and they have been the subject of countless myths and legends.
Etymology
The term "Visvalker" comes from the Tunge language and is roughly translated to "one who walks the path of wisdom".
Origin of Visvalkers
Before the advent of modern magic, witches and wizards would summon spirits from other worlds to achieve their desired effects. This practice has been largely forgotten over time, but some individuals possess strong but connection to these spirits. This connection typically exists on a subconscious level. Individuals with this connection usually cannot summon spirits without trainng, but the connection grants them heightened abilities. These individuals are called Visvalkers.
Abilities
Visvalkers have been known to display exceptional talents, such as mastering difficult spells with ease, communicating with animals, as well as possessing impressive intuition, an ability to reliably predict future events, and a deep connection and understanding of the world around them.
Despite their apparent power and potential, the existence of Visvalkers is often dismissed by skeptics as mere superstition or coincidence. Others, however, believe in the existence of Visvalkers and consider them to be an important part of the history and lore of magic.
Frequency of Occurrence
It is generally believed that there is only one Visvalker born every few generations. While there has been at least one occasion of two presumed Visvalkers living at the same time, this has not been confirmed and many believe it to be impossible.
Ancient versus Modern Times
In ancient times, Visvalkers were typically individuals who could summon spirits, knowingly or unknowingly, without the need for extensive rituals. This made them appear like they had super-human or even divine powers.
Modern Visvalkers, as mentioned above, often have a deeper connection to the world, and a great affinity for magic.
Possible Visvalkers
Heracles
Heracles is one of the oldest possible Visvalkers known. Also known as Hercules, this Greek hero presumably lived some time during the Late Bronze Age, possibly between 1600 and 1100 BCE. Heracles was known to possess inhuman strength and claimed to be the son of Zeus, God of Thunder and ruler of Olymp.
Kannon
Kannon, also known as Guānyīn, is a figure from Japanese Buddhist mythology who was believed to have lived in the 1st or 2nd century BCE. Kannon was considered a bodhisattva; a being which achieved enlightenment but remained on Earth to help humans. Kannon was associated with compassion and mercy and is credited with creating the first Kintōun.
