This gives them access to abilities we might call magical. +  * **Fusion**: Thousands of years ago in the fusion, flesh was merged with Lite. Now Humankind exists as both energy and matter. This gives them access to abilities we might call magical. They call this bound Lite their [[#_ Spark|Spark]]. Spark allows one of Humankind to survive a nuclear blast, and they recharge themselves by [[#_ Stardiving|Stardiving]] (flying through a star). It has an impressive amount of energy
-  * **Variation**: About one millenium after Fusion came Variation: A technology of Lite that allowed Humankind to change their very physical nature. While all humans remain humanoid because of [[#The Great Accord]], they often have strange physical characteristics that diverge from our normal expectations. Perhaps scaly skin, vestigial wings, nascent claws, or glowing hair. +  * **Variation**: About one millennium after Fusion came Variation: A technology of Lite that allowed Humankind to change their very physical nature.

Now while the four cultures of Humankind have their own language and knowledge, they all share [[#_ Union|Union]], giving them the ability to communicate and share knowledge across all of the species. Most of the new cultures of the universe also have Union, or part of it, as they are indirect decedents of Humankind.
  
 +All of these changes happened so long ago that most of the details of that time has been lost to the ages (or destroyed depending on who you talk too). Humans call the time these changes came from [[#_ The Forgotten Times|The Forgotten Times]].
