User:Zoey The Edgedancer/Rithmatics

Rithmatics is a system of magic used in The Rithmatist, done through the drawing of various shapes in chalk to enact desired phenomena.

Inception
Inception is the process in which one is made a Rithmatist, or one who is capable of using Rithmatics.

This is done through the bonding of a being known as a Shadowblaze to the Incepted child.

Trivia
The magic system of Rithmatics was originally created to be used in the Cosmere, and in studying it one can see all of the ways in which it connects to the overarching cosmology and metaphysics of the Cosmere, such as the role of Intent; and in how Shadowblazes and their bonds to Rithmatists closely mirror the idea of Nahel Bonds and how Spren grant powers to the one they bind to; among various other connections.

Despite this, it was ultimately not integrated into the Cosmere, and rather put into Rithamatist, an unrelated work.
