🐾 Power System of Varkenvil
> "In Varkenvil, your power is not yours alone. It howls, burns, weeps, and rises with the beasts that choose you."

🔷 Core Concept: Beast Affinity & The Beastamer Path
Every sentient being in Varkenvil is born with a Core Affinity—a spiritual resonance tied to a Beast Type, Element, or Function. This Affinity shapes their natural compatibility with certain beast species and influences their System Awakening, ability evolution, and long-term class potential.
> The deeper the resonance, the more synchronized a Beastamer becomes with their companion—eventually reaching Beast-Soul Fusion or Domain Bonding.

🧭 The Beastamer Path
Beastamers are not simply combatants. They are the backbone of all realms, forming a living link between society and the wild, mysterious forces of nature and essence.
Role Example Beast Use
Farmers Earth burrowers for tilling, crop-accelerating songbirds
Chefs Fire-tongued stovebeasts, flavor-scaling familiars
Soldiers Combat beasts for frontline battles and siege support
Blacksmiths Irongolems or forge-charging metal beasts
Messengers Lightning falcons, dream pigeons
Healers Spirit deer, aura jellyfish, mist owls
Even ordinary people have minor beast contracts for daily life, though advanced Beastaming is reserved for those with high Affinity scores and proper training.

🐉 Beast Types
Each beast in the system belongs to one or more Types, defining their primary role and synergy effects. Some may evolve or hybridize into others depending on environment, contract conditions, or tier advancements.
Type Description Common Roles
Combat Offensive or defensive specialists with elemental powers Warriors, Hunters, Bodyguards
Support Healing, buffing, sensing, shielding Medics, Scouts, Mage Assistants
Trade Storage, material processing, transit optimization Merchants, Caravanners, Crafters
Utility Cooking, sanitation, agriculture, communication Farmers, Cooks, Postmasters
Unique Divine, mythic, or system-anomalous beasts Nobles, Heretics, God-Chosen
> ⚠️ Note: A rare Utility Beast (e.g., Chronokitchen Sloth) can outperform a combat beast situationally. Taming doesn't equal fighting power—it equals functionality.

📊 Stat Categories
Every Beastamer develops along six core stats, each of which influences specific aspects of beast bonding, survival, and synergy:
Stat Function
STR (Strength) Determines physical might and the capacity to control or handle larger and heavier beasts. Also affects direct grappling or melee beast interactions.
DEX (Dexterity) Governs speed, reflexes, and tactical execution. Influences how quickly a Beastamer issues commands in real-time battles.
VIT (Vitality) Affects resilience to both physical and elemental damage, and governs endurance in long beast link battles. Also determines how long bonds can be sustained under strain.
INT (Intelligence) Determines control over complex affinity effects, advanced command chains, and intelligent beast strategies. Required for spell-casting companions.
SPR (Spirit) Reflects one's soul depth and resonance. Boosts taming success, deep bonds, dream interaction, and long-range soul tethering. Critical for Mythic+ beast connections.
COO (Cooking) – (Axel-exclusive stat) Enhances magical dish creation, taste-scaling with beast emotions, and preparation of divine food for buffs, healing, and affinity awakening.
> Some advanced Beastamers also develop Hidden Stats—such as Luck, Resonance Depth, or System Instability, particularly after God Beast exposure or hybrid contracts.
