A theory about the CNJ and THM lore

[Elgeron]

The Thaumaturges vision of the world is a more philosophical one. They study the metaphysics concepts of life and death, light and darkness. But a pure vision of this is just impossible to achieve. Sentients beings haven´t reach the capacities to see the truth of these concepts, making any try to control they pure form extremely difficult and probably dangerous too. Instead, they use representations, things that help to understand and that they are able to control, because the saw how this "representations" work in our physical reality.

Fire is a representation of light and life. Fire bring light and like life, it bring strong and heat all what is around it, but just like living beings, if it is too strong it can destroy and consume, spreeding without control. But finally, all live must end so do the fire letting pass to the cold.

Ice is a representation of death and darkness. When a a living being die, heat left its body, and just cold flesh or ashes remain. The cold can extenguis the fire, and those who suffer from extremely temperatures feel that their senses are put to sleep and that darkness is covering their visions. Also fire will melt ice, and so life will go on despite of death.

Thunder is related to light, fire and darkness. It come from the storms, dark clouds that block the light. The thunder is bright and strong, it can start fires but it is brief and fade soon, letting pass to the darkness again. It stronly represent the cycle of death and life, and the contrast of light and darkness as well as being a metaphor of how lights can be found even in the darkness, how life will born even in the death.

And so, Thaumaturges use this three elements to understand and controll a little fraction of the true meaning of life and death, these 3 elements come from the 3 pures elements, the elements of nature wich are the manifestation of life and death.

And so my theory ends here. I know is not very good, but i will glad hear your opinions and objections about it. Thanks for reading
