Elden Root Temples
Why do you seek this change?
What are they?
The elden root temples are fantastic structures that are scattered across the earth. There are seven different types of temples, and seemingly boundless amounts to each kind. It is unknown whether they were built solely by the elden roots, by the elden roots with the help of humans, or by humans alone. Each temple has many rooms within it. They are mystical places where the ancient lumesse magic is at its strongest.
Temples serve two functions. The first is to create baby rootlings (called seedlings) with special design parameters specific to the temple's magic. The second is to provide a method for rootlings to grow their forms using lumesse. Temples hold the special ability to grant mythical form alterations that your rootling may desire. This page will talk about both functions and how to use them.

Temple-Born Rootlings
Rootlings who are born from the temples are created from pure magic rather than an animal coronation. Unlike coronation rootlings, temple-borns are not linked to any one ecosystem, and their designs may pull from animals dwelling all around the globe. They may also bear the traits of creatures found in folklore or fairytales. Temple births require a significant amount more of lumesse magic to initiate, and there are tiered amounts of magic that determine just how mystical the child can begin its life.
Within each temple is a trough that shines with runic carvings. This is where rootlings come to invest their magic. As lumesse flows from your rootling into the trough a magical reaction begins to take place. In the center, below the surface of the water, a small, white, glowing orb begins to form. This is the core of a new seedling. When the light fades, you might find yourself looking upon an egg that is ready to hatch. Or perhaps a seedling is peering up at you for guidance. However the young one has entered this world, it is time for it to begin life.

If two rootlings wish to parent a seedling together, they must expend half the required lumesse points from each of them.
