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.

Jesus

Some historians consider the possibility that Jesus was in fact a Visvalker. He wielded powerful healing magic and was supposedly capable of walking on water. It is possible that he used these abilities to dress himself as the Son of God, or even believed himself to be of divine descent.

Myrrdin

Myrrdin, more commonly known as Merlin is generally accepted to have been a Visvalker and is often cited as an example. He was an extremely talented wizard, possessed unparallalelled skills in divination and was supposedly capable of communicating with animals.

Morgain la Fée

Also known as Morgan le Fay, Morgain is also presumed to have been a Visvalker, as evidenced by her great power and her ability to quickly grasp even the most difficult of spells. However, this is often the cause of disupte because many people believe two Visvalkers at the same time is simply imposssible.
