If you want a casual discord with FFXIV voice chat, let me know and I'll drop an invite.

It's a general purpose Discord, and there's 3 of us who use the FFXIV voice chat 2-3 times a week. No schedule, just availability checks and seeing when things line up.

There's other gaming stuff too.

Day 6: Symbiotic relationships are common, with Familiars being a classic magical example.

Parasitic entities for sapient species are relatively rare; free will is highly valued by the gods, and parasitic relationships tend to violate free will/consent. Thus, they are targeted by the temples.

Day 5: Practical/non-magical knowledge is strong in more educated people/societies/classes, informed by information gained by magical means. This, in turn, helps guide and focus magical healing and techniques, such as sterilization of tools.

Day 3: Both, depending on location. Alchemy requires some basic to moderate chemistry knowledge, but from there is about the amplification and infusion of magical properties.

that any given species can vary a lot between different planets.

Non-divinities are more likely to create directly. This is especially true of a Spiritual Nexus, as a Nexus Core has special advantages in this area of magic. Sometimes those created species become —>
