|Introduction='''Arasia''' is a branch of [[Osia]], the ancient art of manipulating spirits and consciousness in [[Adaris]]. Arasia specifically focuses on the manipulation of the nascent and mature spirits associated with darkness and shadows, drawing power from the [[Primordial Spirit]] of Darkness, [[Arafia]]. Practitioners of this discipline are known as [[Arasiari]], who seek to attune their consciousness to the unseen forces, the mysteries of the night, and the secrets hidden in the shadows.

|Principles=Arasia involves the manipulation of the spirits of darkness, entities that govern the unseen and mysterious aspects of the world. These spirits represent shadows, concealment, and the hidden forces that exist in the absence of light. Through mental [[attunement]], Arasiari can control these spirits, manipulating shadows, influencing perceptions, and tapping into the power of darkness itself.

* [[Nascent Spirits]]: Simple, malleable spirits that represent fleeting moments of shadow or darkness, such as the shadow of a tree or a passing cloud. Arasiari often begin by manipulating these nascent spirits to control shadows or obscure light.

* [[Mature Spirits]]: These spirits are tied to more defined aspects of darkness, such as the shadows cast by mountains, caves, or regions that are perpetually shrouded in darkness. Influencing mature spirits requires a higher level of attunement, as these spirits are more self-aware and difficult to control.

* [[Ancestral Spirits]]: These are powerful spirits that embody entire realms or concepts of darkness, such as eternal night or the void. Only the most skilled Arasiari would even attempt to communicate with these spirits, as their power is vast and their motives often inscrutable.
