Description: In Greek mythology, Bia (Ancient Greek: Βία means "power, force, might") was the personification of force, anger and raw energy. Bia was the daughter of the Titan Pallas and Oceanid Styx, and sister of Nike, Kratos, and Zelus. Bia and her siblings were constant companions of Zeus. They achieved this honor after supporting him in the Titan War along with their mother. Bia is one of the characters named in the Greek tragedy Prometheus Bound, attributed to Aeschylus, where Hephaestus is compelled by the gods to bind Prometheus after he was caught stealing fire and offering the gift to mortals. Although she appears alongside her brother Kratos, she does not speak.
The ritual herein allows the mage to attune his senses to all manner of forces by taking on the persona of Zeus as he invokes Bia through poetic verse, elemental gestures, and experiencing the chosen force. The magician may only attune his senses to one force at a time and subsequent castings simply changes to which forces his senses are attuned.
