Grifix Magic Apparatus

Freckles Organ Anatomy

The freckles are an organ part of the "magic apparatus". They are placed at the endings of some magic veins

The freckles themselves are a magic organ that produces a certain fluid magic ingredient - its function being stabilizing the magic and ensuring it functions as intended, which is why it’s called “magic stabilizer”. The magic stabilizer is then transported through some veins to the main gems, where it mixes with the magic that is produced in them.

The magic stabilizer is ALWAYS YELLOW, which gives the freckles the yellow color (similar to how blood is always red).

Divided grifix with no visible freckles still have them - except they aren't on the surface like for usual grifix.

The magic usually flows both ways from the gems, they sometimes absorb magic from the environment as well, it's almost as if the magic apparatus "breathes" magic. So the gems can technically "inhale" substances from the environment - such as drugs - to produce various magic effects. 

Magic stabilizer can be produced entirely by a grifix alone, but they evolved to use environmental magic absorbed through the gems in order to create it quicker and more efficiently. Magic is absorbed through the gems and transported to the freckles where it is converted to stabilizer (similar to how the lungs extract oxygen from air). The freckles filter the magic so they don’t absorb harmful parts of the magic. If a grifix is alone in a place without any grifix close by they won’t have any environmental magic to absorb so the stabilizer is produced at a slower rate, from their own magic, which leads to a smaller amount of magic available for them to use.

Divided grifix have such harmful magic that usually it can’t be properly filtered perpetuating their issues and making them ill. If a regular grifix were to spend too much time in a place with high divided magic concentration they may develop such issues as well. (Their sphirix may even get split or develop mutations like the divided ones, and even corruption may occur).

Clots can be produced in these magic veins which causes malfunctions of magic. Sometimes certain drugs have that effect. Magic doesn't act as intended if the veins or the freckles are damaged. But similar to how humans have two of certain organs - and can still function with only one - grifix can still function if only one of the freckle organs is damaged.

Grifix usually have three such organs: one on each cheek and one on the muzzle. Additional freckles are simply ramifications of the main veins that surface. The muzzle organ is not surfaced most of the time, and for most grifix it is inactive but when the other main cheek ones are damaged this one might start being active and sometimes it will surface as well. Grifix that have visible muzzle freckles have all three organs active all of the time. 

Chin and upper lip freckles are additional ramifications of the muzzle organ: they connect in the came spot on the gem apparatus but they split from the muzzle veins as they go up to the head.

Visually, the freckles have the appearance of slightly raised markings on the skin. They are slightly harder than usual skin. Under special circumstances, they might glow.

Additional gems anatomy

Regular magic veins coming from the gems are spread throughout the grifix’s body - these do not transport magic stabilizer, just regular magic. These sometimes come up close to the surface of the skin and start pushing magic out, which solidifies into additional gems, which act as seals to prevent the magic leaking. The main magic arteries in a grifix body go from the chest gems to the head and to the back. If those reach the surface, magic gems will be formed that can have magic flow and sometimes form orbs.

Magic orbs

Magic orbs are made of condensed magic. Some of the magic that flows out of the magic gems can start condensing into the shape of orbs (even though they are made of condensed magic, just like light beans, they are very different). If a grifix’s orb were to fall off, it would grow back (although it would take multiple months to do so).

Without constant magic flow of a certain power and intensity from the magic gem, the magic orbs start to break down and eventually they may fall and won’t grow back anymore.
