About Energetic Attunements

WordPress Version

An energetic attunement is a dose of energy that attaches to someone’s energy system and causes certain effects. Usually this changes the structure of the recipient's energy system to allow them to control and use the attuned energy more effectively, and can even cause them to produce the energy. This then changes their energy alignment to include the energy. But to what degree this occurs depends on the method of attunement, strength of the attunement, and many other factors.

In simple words, an attunement means big changes in someone's energy.

Here are some frequently asked questions concerning attunements.

What types of energy can someone become attuned to?

Attunement can happen with any form of energy.

It can be spiritual energy: becoming attuned to a specific species or group of spirits, such as fae, angels, etc.

Or it could be energy of a specific environment, such as oceanic energy, or forest energy, etc.

It could also be a specific element of energy, for example such as specifically fire energy, reiki, or void energy.

Passive versus Active Attunements

Passive Attunements are when someone's energy system adapts to an energy through constant, consistent, exposure. For example, many mages who live near the ocean would end up having a passive ocean attunement. They will have a notable amount of ocean energy in their energy system, and it will be a part of their energy alignment. This attunement is possible for all types of energy listed above.

Active Attunements are when there was an intentional change to an energy system, usually through a ritual, initiation, or purposeful energy work. One example is the reiki initiation; in this, the recipient receives a connection to reiki, passed down by a master.

How long can attunements last?

How long an attunement lasts varies based on the method of attunement.

Some attunements are meant to be Permanent. This type of attunement is meant to last as long as the recipient is alive. Particularly powerful ones may carry over multiple lifetimes.

These are usually done by forging a connection to an infinite energy source, such that the recipient constantly receives and channels the energy. I have called this "energy opening" or, more bluntly, "making a new source connection."

Other attunements are temporary. Most attunements fall into this category; this type of attunement needs refreshment once in a while. All passive attunement would fall into this category

Possible Benefits of Attunements:

Awaken a New Skill: This attunement adds an entire new skill to the recipient. Think of it like an “unlocked ability/skill” in a video game. For example, the reiki attunement unlocks the ability to effectively channel reiki. Another example is the initiation into the sphere of Luna, in the Abrahamic ceremonial practice of the planetary spheres. This initiation fuses the energy of the moon with the practitioner, which then helps them to manifest effects with magic more, and perceive spirits more easily.

Passive enchantment: This attunement benefits the recipient passively, causing the purpose of the attunement to manifest more easily/often/etc. This is a constant effect, and is usually done through minor spells, energy interweaving, or sigil tattoos.

Spirit Allies: Being attuned to a certain spiritual group's energy will often make others of that group friendlier to you. Because they can sense you have much of their group's energy in you, they know you are more likely to be a potential ally.

Become Like an Element: Elements frequently have personality associations. Rituals where one attempts to embody or become closer to an element are very common in folklore. For example, rituals in which one invokes the sun are often meant to make someone kingly, jolly, and wise.

i have just decided that i am going to write a whole ass essay about the elementalists attunements as hogwarts (like, the equivalent)

i have no reason to be doing this since it's 2020 and no one cares about TE anymore lmao

this will probably have no clout at all but i'm quarantine and bored, so i'm doing it nonetheless askaksjak

Attunements!!

Hey guys, I’m really curious about what y’all’s second attunements are! I figured everyone got the same ones but recently learned that we got different ones!

I’m a Sun-Att/Metal-Att!

Pardon me for my ramblings, but I've had this headcanon taunt me for so long i need to talk about it. I like to imagine, that in tandem with the dual harmony of the voice of the Iredicci, Their timbre and pacing match the element of their attunement to some degree. Earth attuned are rough, almost percussive in their tone, but steady. Water attuned have a flow of dialogue that is as calming as listening to rain, Fire attuned are have a bright and snappy tone, or a heavy, almost ashen one. Air attuned voices can be light, but also as strong and, pardon the pun, blustery as a stormy wind. Sometimes, you can hear the ghost of instruments as each speak, however its more the impression that you are left with than the actual instrument itself, and these also correlate with the element; Earth: Drums Air: Woodwind (i wonder why) Fire: Brass

Water: Strings

The stronger the attunement to the Cordis, the more intense the impressions get, and vice versa they wane, as we see with Tellus.

I have many more headcanons, one including a very bad pun, but i've been going on for long enough, though consider this last part foreshadowing if i ever come back to talk about it

I love this headcannon! I’m delighted that my work inspired you to reflect on it to such a degree. 😁💕

Out of curiosity; do the attunements affect an individual's approach to hobbies, work, etc? Like, would an earth-attuned be drawn more to pottery or sculpture, vs a water-attuned preferring paints and watercolors? Not as a rule, but just something that is easier/more familiar, perhaps?

Hello! The attunements definitely affected the jobs each Iredicci did in their accords, yes. You wouldn’t have been forced to do one job over another, but it would have made sense to gravitate toward a skill or job that you were naturally good at.

I have a little info on this in the in-game codex. Here’s an example from earth attuned:

Earth-attuned Iredicci are traditionally artisans. Before the camps, earth-attuned made jewelry and pottery that could be sold or traded for other goods in the empire.

I give similar examples for the other attunements.

Jobs are a necessity so the Iredicci would have been more inclined to keep to attunement roles, but hobbies wouldn’t have had the same constraints. Plus, there’s more opportunity to overlap there. I can certainly see a water attuned being drawn to water colors, but I can also see an air attuned becoming an artist due to their keen sight and wanting to capture the world they see.

First of all, I'm sorry if something is wrong to understand, english isn't my first language.

Does the attunements have "inane" abilities? Like a iridecci with air attunement, could they hold their breathing longer than anyone else? Or maybe one with fire attunement, do they have a higher resistance to fire or high temperatures? I can't imagine the water or earth one's though.

Yep, they do! Tellus’s air attunement and ability to hold/extend his breathing was the reason he was able to survive being buried.

You can find info on all the attunements and what each one grants you in the in-game codex. 😁
