Focus	Manipulation of creativity, dreams, and imagination
Origin	The Primordial Spirit of Imagination, Awenlas

Awenlasia is the theoretical and esoteric branch of Osia, focusing on the manipulation of imagination, creativity, and dreams. Practitioners of this branch, known as Awenlasiari, attempt to connect with the essence of imagination itself, which stems from the primordial spirit of creativity, Awenlas. Awenlasia delves into the abstract realm of thoughts, dreams, and the boundless potential of the mind.

Principles of Awenlasia

At its core, Awenlasia explores the manipulation of the essence of creativity and imagination. However, because Awenlas exists outside of the tangible realms of Adaris, the practice of Awenlasia is largely esoteric and theoretical. Awenlasiari seek to understand the flow of creative energy and how imagination influences reality. They engage in artistic pursuits, creative exploration, and dream interpretation to align themselves with the ever-shifting nature of Awenlas.

Unlike other branches of Osia, Awenlasia is more concerned with the ethereal flow of ideas, inspiration, and creativity. The spirits Awenlasiari interact with are often abstract, transient, and difficult to comprehend, as they reside in a space beyond tangible reality, existing in the tangible realm to as a mechanism of birth yet not as .

The Role of Awenlasiari

Awenlasiari are unique among Osiari. Their connection to Awenlas and the realm of creativity manifests in various ways, often expressed through art, music, storytelling, and invention. However, the goal of Awenlasia is not simply to create; it is to understand and, eventually, to manipulate the essence of imagination itself.

Awenlasiari do not directly shape physical elements but instead seek to influence the intangible forces that drive creation, perception, and thought. Some of their practices and pursuits include:

• Exploring the relationship between dreams and reality.
• Studying the flow of creativity and how new ideas come into being.
• Enhancing artistic ability by aligning one’s mind with the energy of Awenlas.
• Attempting to manipulate the realm of dreams and imagination to affect the thoughts, emotions, or inspirations of others.

Though Awenlasiari do not typically affect the physical world as directly as other Osiari, their work has a profound impact on the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual development of individuals and cultures in Adaris.

Theoretical Nature of Awenlasia

Since Awenlas resides, in many ways, outside of the tangible realm of Adaris, Awenlasia remains a largely theoretical pursuit. The imagination itself is an elusive and ever-changing force, making it difficult for practitioners to fully grasp or control. As a result, the study of Awenlasia is more abstract and philosophical than practical.

However, despite its intangibility, Awenlas’s influence is undeniable. The dreams, stories, and innovations that shape the world of Adaris all find their origin in the creative energies of Awenlas. Many Awenlasiari believe that, with enough dedication and understanding, it may one day be possible to directly manipulate the essence of creativity and imagination to create new realities or influence the collective dreams of society.

Training and Practices of Awenlasia

Becoming an Awenlasiari is a lifelong pursuit that requires a deep commitment to artistic and creative exploration. Unlike other branches of Osia, Awenlasia does not follow a strict set of training protocols or techniques. Instead, practitioners immerse themselves in the creative process, constantly seeking inspiration and pushing the boundaries of their imagination.

The following practices are common among Awenlasiari:

• Dreamwalking: A technique in which Awenlasiari enter the realm of dreams to observe and study the interaction of imagination with consciousness. Dreamwalking can offer insight into the subconscious mind and the flow of creative thought.
• Artistic Meditation: Through deep meditation focused on the creative process, Awenlasiari attempt to align their consciousness with Awenlas, seeking bursts of inspiration or moments of transcendence.
• Symbolic Creation: Awenlasiari often work with symbols, both creating and interpreting them, to tap into deeper layers of imagination. These symbols can be used to unlock hidden creative potential or reveal insights into the nature of reality.

Though many Awenlasiari pursue these methods to explore the intangible, the true mastery of Awenlasia—where imagination becomes a malleable force—remains theoretical.

Cultural and Philosophical Influence of Awenlasia

The influence of Awenlasia permeates the cultural and intellectual spheres of Adaris. Artists, poets, musicians, and inventors who dedicate themselves to their craft are often seen as conduits for Awenlas’s influence, even if they do not actively practice Awenlasia. The realm of creativity is revered, and Awenlasiari are seen as the ultimate seekers of artistic truth, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of imagination.

Awenlasia also sparks profound philosophical debates, particularly regarding the nature of reality, the role of creativity in shaping existence, and the connection between dreams and the physical world. Awenlasiari are often involved in these discussions, offering unique perspectives based on their deep understanding of the flow of imagination.

The Limits of Awenlasia

Despite its profound influence on thought and culture, Awenlasia remains one of the most elusive and speculative form of Osia. Unlike other branches, which focus on manipulating the tangible elements of reality, Awenlasia delves into the ever-shifting and boundless realms of creativity and dreams. As a result, Awenlasiari face significant limitations in their practice, as the forces they seek to control are inherently fluid and unpredictable.

Awenlasia is not without its dangers. Practitioners can become lost in the abstract realms of imagination, their minds overwhelmed by the infinite possibilities of creativity. Some Awenlasiari report vivid, disorienting dreams or a sense of detachment from reality after long periods of practice.
