In Naeralith all magic is derived from the colour inherent in living matter, and the more brightly coloured stuff is, the more magical. this is why many of the more colourful resources have higher pigment yields. In order to get this idea across weve decided the smallest value of colour in magic is refered to as a 'pigment'.
Basically Pigments are a new tile yield similar to production (or more accurately, culture) which is accumulated in the same manner as culture for use in purchasing Magical Lores (similar to Social Policies) from the Magic Palette Tree (similar to the social policy tree). Im not certain on the specifics of the Palette tree, but as far as i know there will be at least 7 Lore Brances, one for each colour of magic. there will probably also be a white Lore and Necromantic Lore.
The purpose of these lores and magic policies is to determine what spells your sorcerers and such can learn. it acts as a limiting factor as to how strong your sorceres can be and how many spells they know.
Another effect of pigments is that the pigments present in the terrain directly affects your spellcasters strength and magical power. more pigments obviously means more ambient magical energy and so stronger sorcerers. low pigments means weaker sorcerers, and NO pigments (such as in Margorian Lands) means no spell casting (except for liches and necromancers
but thats another tale)
THats relaly just a brief overview from what i understand, im sure Al will add in more later but for now thats all i know
hope that helps!

Yeah this is the best way to describe it
Just a couple of minor things... colours from magic can be derived from ANY matter that has colour (not just living matter). Living matter gives off more colour as it is infused by the colour of a soul
Also, with regard to colourless terrain (in Margorian lands etc), this would not result in NO spellcasting for normal sorcerers, just limited spellcasting capabilities and hindered, if not static, regeneration of magical energies
For anyone out there who is interested in some basic lore for Naeralithian magic, google "Naeralith" and look at the magic section on my website.
The concept of pigments in the mod are based around the way magic works in Naeralith and, like TheChanger said, act as a currency that can be collected to spend in the Palette Tree.
I can't find anything about pigments in your mod
The details regarding pigments and the aforementioned Palette Tree will appear soon
I intend to do some social policies alongside civ design and, once they are done, begin working on the Palette Tree alongside the civs
Stay tuned and you will see more soon!

Tunive Civilisation
Spoiler Tunive :
Heres a few ideas for Tunive. the main theme is Ni'vae. a lot of the UBs have to do with them.
an idea i had was that Tunive could revere Ni'vae (in a similar manner that india reveres cows) because they believe they are the descendents of a mystical sky spirit that created the first Tuniveshi. They coudl also believe that when the Tuniveshi die their souls are at risk of being consumed by a horrible deamon, however the Ni'vae are their spiritual defenders, galoping into the deamon and fighting it long enough for the Tuniveshi souls to escape its clutches and move to the next life. because of this their architecture tends to reach to the sky in multi level pagoda structures in a form of prayer, especially their temples.

UPDATES
Added divine magic design to Scarthia
This includes unique divine units, promotions and spells. In addition I have also included a few unique promotions for Scarthian units in general. Some of this may change a little after I've had some feedback from TheChanger
Also, there is a great deal of Arcane magic in the works, much of which has already been designed!
Stay tuned for more updates very soon!

UPDATES
Added the Slavery social policy tree to complete the slavery mechanics that are vital to the workings of several nations
Tomorrow I will be posting the first bits of arcane magic design, including the base colours that myself and TheChanger have been working on, as well as Elementalism
Also, I will attach some screenshots of the magical symbols that TheChanger has (wonderfully) put together!
Stay tuned tomorrow for more updates!
