  • The Avatar trait is one of the basic Mutant Powers in the Whateley Universe. The following paragraph was written by Bek D. Corbin in Canon Material:Explanation of Power Terms This term comes from Hindu mythology, and means the Earthly embodiment of a god. In our usage, avatar means a mutant who is able to host and exploit the powers of a magical spirit. Avatars are able to do naturally what several magical traditions, such as Voudoun are able to do artificially. The avatar bond creates a symbiosis between the host and spirit which provides the spirit with the energy that it requires, without the draining effect that hosts usually suffer. The relationship between an avatar and their spirit is very intimate, but not always harmonious. Some avatars have to keep very close control of their spirit. In exchange for the life force that they provide, the avatar receives control of the spirit's magical powers. The spirits' powers are reflections of their mystical nature. For example, Geode, a Whateley Graduate who had bonded with a "gnome" or Earth elemental spirit, gained incredible strength as long as he was in contact with the Earth, remarkable endurance and resistance to damage, a limited regenerative ability, the ability to form a shell of packed earth around him, the ability to pass through the ground, and an ability to sense what was concealed in the ground nearby. So, the spirit was an Earth elemental, and the powers that it gave Geode reflected that.
