Is there ever any plan to sell the CAD files or a kit for these? Understand if not, the demand would be overwhelming.

That's what the ritual and invocation do, communicate a desire to the Will and capture its attention. So how does one communicate to the Will? There are three kinds of invocations. Speech, Thought and Transcription.

However, I am getting ahead of myself.
What is Old Magic?
All magic is based upon desire. The Will responds to what creatures want and need, it bolsters them passively, making each breath easier and each step less exhausting. However, mortals noticed that the Will responds more to certain stimuli.

Rituals can be as complex as simple as needed, but complex rituals often provide a level of complexity simple rituals cannot. Someone may grasp their sword and communicate their desire that way, but a dense language of ritualistic jargon allows one to integrate the invocation into the ritual.

The burden of sentience changes a soul, warping it to match the personality within. Many souls split, or shatter, creating many voices. Or they repress some aspect of the soul, which eventually will burst out.
But in short, that's the anatomy of a soul.

Often these buildups of Death pierce the soul, tearing the aura apart to split the core apart. But debris well and truly can be anything, and curses are the most well known manmade soul debris. Different creatures have different souls but a mortal soul will inevitably be more complex and unique.

But often this is how many die of old age, their soul polluted and torn parts by Gaea.
Prime Essence attracts itself. As people get older, their aura typically weakens, and can no longer resist the pressure of Gaea's wish. All things die. The very source of life dooms it to perish.

Not all Debris is necessarily bad. As the soul ages and develops, other essences and Wills pollute the soul, creating buildups of their energy, growing atop the aura. Most commonly this is the Will itself, often giving some minor benefit like hearing its voice or seeing ghosts.

The more open a soul to the world and others, the more likely it will be harmed. Souls heal, and grow stronger with damage and age, but nonetheless those who bear their heart to the world will often find themselves hurt. The most mundane form of this is debris.

The Aura filters the Cores output, listening to some desires more than others. It also communicates with the body and the Will, or souls of other living things.
The Aura is both a translation layer and the membrane of the soul, which means it has two complicated jobs with many points of failure.

The Core is the seat of the personality, where all thoughts and feelings reside. It's the truest self, chaotic and unreasonable, so the Spirit exists. The Spirit, or Aura, is often called the Porous Shield, because thats in a sense what it is. It's a membrane, protecting the soul from outside forces

Not all living beings burn themselves to produce Prime Will, some steal it from others or digest it from things they consume, others sap it from those around them, but generally all living things consume Prime Essence. It's magic oxygen and ATP. There are more Will variants, we'll get to them later.
