Lumen Sages Headcanons!

Part 1:

-Lumen sages can use healing magic, in case even very advanced sages like the Lumen elder can bring animals or even humans back to life.

-Lumen sages often use alchemy in battle to create elements: Fire, water, earth and air/lightning.

-They also use alchemy to create objects

-Lumen sages officially become real warriors when they have made a pact with an angel: sages receive angel feathers from the angel they have made a pact with to sew their first lumen robe (a sign that they have also made a pact with Laguna and are now a part of it).

-Which angel you can make a pact with depends on the spiritual power of the wearer. Sages with less spiritual power can only make a pact with angels of the second or third sphere, while other sages with a lot of spiritual energy can make pacts with seraphs, cherubs or thrones, i.e. angels of the first sphere. (The Lumen elder is often the only one who has a pact with a cardinal virtue)

-There are female Lumen sages in the clan, they are also trained as warriors if they have a high spiritual energy like their male companions.

Once a year the Lumen sages make a pilgrimage to paradiso (this is why the portals to paradiso exist) Some sages use this to train or speak with their angel companions.

-Lumen sages possess instruments with miraculous powers (these can be played with only one melody to make flowers grow or to change time and space and much more)

The cardinal virtues are considered gods among the Lumen sages.

A sacrificial altar was erected for the angel Fortitudo so that the sages could pray to him and receive his blessing and protection (Fortitudo is a guardian angel, so to speak)

Temperantia is an angel to whom one prays for the seasons and that they go well. Temperantia is also often known for giving the sages rain, sun, etc.

Iustitia is worshipped for fertility and for successful harvests.

Sapientia is worshipped for a good catch in the sea (whether fish or simply treasure) and is seen as the leader of the sea when the Lumen sages are caught in a storm and receive his protection to arrive without losses.

A child who carries the weight of the world

The young sage is often plagued by nightmares, so bad that the Lumen elder has to intervene to comfort the boy.

No one knows why Balder is plagued by these nightmares, even the Lumen Elder was impotent although he can predict the future of every single individual, but the boy was different...he was trapped in time.

Many rejected the boy because he could not use alchemy or healing arts at his age, but the Lumen Elder was the only one who believed in the young sage and this proved to be true when the boy was given feathers by the great angel Fortitudo himself, with these feathers he was able to sew his first lumen robe which he would grow into.

\\\\I think it's such a shame that we never really saw the Lumen Elder in the game, in the anime, it was just a single image, I just think it's a shame that the Lumen Sages were generally thrown in the trash and almost nothing was made of them. I mean c'mon give me a badass sage who kills demons with holy Style even If It's Balder, I just need to see how badass it can be when sages kills demons bc so many people think Demons are way stronger than Angels\\\\

Lumen-Jeanne

Lumenetta AU:

A close friend of Bayonetta who, like her, is one of the last survivors of the Lumen Sages.

During the Sage Hunt, they fought together against demons from Inferno but many sages died in the process to protect their Lumen-cathedral. In this terrible war, Bayonetta lost her father when her own mother killed her father.

The last Umbra witch, Mother Rosa, cast a demonic spell on Jeanne in order to rekindle Bayonetta's memory so that the right eye of light could finally awaken. Like Bayonetta, she has a contract with a cardinal virtue, the cardinal virtue of Justice Iustitia, because in her heart is the great trust to bring justice to the world and protect the innocent.

Harp of the Sirens.

An ancient harp maintained by an ancient civilisation who worshipped a god in the sea, the harp is said to represent this god who offered fish and protection to the people in the Bad days. A scale from the angel Sapientia was used to give the harp its lustre.

Scales of justice.

The scales of a man who brought much justice into the world, yet his heart wrapped itself in poison and died of an agonising death, only the few manage to use this weapon, because there your heart is tested for purity. A poisonous liquid from the angel Iustitia rules these scales, waiting to find a pure soul and understanding for justice.

Sword of Michael.

A sword wielded by an angel who entrusted the sword to the Lumen Sages, for now this angel protected the realm of the Creator in the form of a terrible face and two dragon heads. In this sword burns the flame of Fortitudo, which only extinguishes when the heavens has fallen. With one swing of this sword it can cut demons in two.

Trident of the Gabriel.

Thunder and storms were the wrath of God, so the trident was greatly feared by the people, hoping that they would not be tempered. In this trident dwelt a small piece of broken glass from the angel Temperantia, who once entrusted this weapon to a prophet to control storms and air.

*Bonus*

In ancient times, there was a technique among the Lumen sages known as *angel puppeteering*. In this act, angels could be summoned and controlled so that the sage was able to strengthen the angel and guide it like a puppet in battle. Many sages had to raise their voice and sing a specific song in the Enochian language to control the angel, but beware, this act could quickly get out of hand if the singing was interrupted.

There was also the technique of *divinity* or *Blood of the saint* for fighting a strong opponent. In this ritual, Lumen-Sages must pluck out their spiritual feathers on their back and stain them with their blood. This ritual transforms the angels into *pious angels*

A long time ago, a female lumen-sage managed to make the angel Glamor grow several feathers and eyes in this ritual, the true appearance of a seraphim who was never transient in the human world.
