Grisha Powers Guide
Understanding the Small Science
In the Grishaverse, Grisha are individuals born with the ability to manipulate matter at its most fundamental level. Unlike traditional magic, Grisha abilities are rooted in the Small Science -- the manipulation of matter at the molecular and atomic level. This distinction is central to how Grisha understand and use their powers.
Grisha do not create something from nothing. Instead, they manipulate what already exists, whether that means summoning flame by exciting molecules, healing wounds by accelerating the body's natural processes, or bending light to create illusions.
The Three Orders of Grisha
Corporalki (The Order of the Living and the Dead): Healers who mend the body and Heartrenders who can stop a heart or control emotions. They work directly with living matter.
Etherealki (The Order of Summoners): Squallers who control wind and weather, Inferni who manipulate fire, and Tidemakers who command water.
Materialki (The Order of Fabrikators): Durasts who work with solid matter and Alkemi who specialize in chemicals and poisons. They are the craftspeople and inventors of the Grisha world.
