Re: Malkionis and Brithinis Castes

I read that the ancestors of Malkionis lost their magic in the great darkness when they broke their castes. (Because they were incomptatible with survival in the Great Darkness)
/// Their beliefs changed, they had to break the rules to survive, by using every possible advantage, every bit of magic they found : local spirits, earth goddesses (Seshna Likita), pacts with aldryami... They kept only partial knowledge of wizardry. They devolved and became mortal, Human.
 

Malkionism has been revived by Hrestol that to allow people to learn sorcery without being strictly Zzaburi,
/// Yes. Hrestol showed you can break the Laws and still be a good malkioni. He also gave his people Joy.

but this new magic is lower than Brithinis. (Because they have to reinvent everything)
/// Who says it's "lower" ? What does "lower" mean ? They did have to reinvent a lot, but it's still Wizardry. The brithini zzaburi have been practising it for millenia, but they don't research much, they use the same Spells over and over again. Faced with a new problem (i.e. gbaji), they die or change to adapt, and become Human

I also read that God Learners had found ways to remove this protection caste brithinis to use spells, so that Zzaburis malkionis can not normally do.
/// They did. But doing was part of their violation of all worlds, which snapped back at them.

This means that Malkionis are technically broken casted? (for magic Danmalastani)
/// That's what a brithini would say. Present malkioni are Human and do have their caste system. A brithini would say they are very poor approximation of what Zzabur ordered.

This does not seem to me impossible, because it is excluded for similar systems (caste mostalis, dragonewt orthodox way) can never return. (The Mostalis and Brithinis ignored the Fifth Action with a kind of stasis, but once they get the experience they can not deny it)
/// The dragonewts are... unfathomable, and don't use Essence Magics. The mostali do power their magic with Essence, but do not practise wizardry. They don't care a fig about the Five Actions. In fact, they were great allies of the accursed vadeli.

The reason for which the attempts of some Malkionis for live like Brithinis do not work? (The Rokaris are not immortal, but some Zzaburis but they use spells to it, even if they claim probably the opposite)
/// In the old New West, people like High Watcher Theoblanc do live much longer than normal human lifespan by strictly following their caste rules, without the need for Immortality spells. In fact, you can say their whole lives are a Ritual Spell.

Hrestol he reinvented a new caste system, which gives the magic (castes malkionis magically exist, for sure) but less than the old and true castes?
/// Again, what does "true" caste mean ? Are you an inhuman brithini ? Hrestol broke all rules and created the fabled Fifth Caste, the Men of All, who all experienced Joy and could - and still can work, fight, lead and think.
