| '''Animus dragons''' are individuals with the ability to enchant things, such as objects, animals, and dragons. Some examples of animus powers are disguising dragons{{Ref|EP|? (Chapter 3)}}, creating [[dreamvisitors]]{{Ref|DSL|239}}, finding a specific dragon{{Ref|TLH|? (Chapter 25)}}, or controlling another dragon{{Ref|DSL|320}}. Sometimes, animus dragons are not aware of their powers{{Ref|ToP|? (Chapter 12)}}. The only confirmed limitation of animus magic is bringing back the dead. [[Tui T. Sutherland]] has mentioned there are more rules to animus magic.{{Cite}} Every time an animus dragon uses his or her power, it is thought that they lose a bit of their soul, bringing them closer to insanity{{Ref|TLH|? (Chapter 20)}}. As of [[The Hive Queen]], no animus dragons can cast spells, and [[Jerboa II]] is hinted to be behind this. | | '''Animus magic''' is magic wielded by animus [[dragons]] that allowed them to enchant [[Animus enchantments|inanimate objects, plants, animals, and other dragons]] to do whatever the animus dragon pleases. Animus dragons have been recorded in five of the seven [[Pyrrhian]] tribes, yet none of the [[Pantala]]n tribes have previously had animus dragons. [[IceWings]], [[SeaWings]], [[NightWings]], [[SandWings]], and [[SkyWings]] have all previously had animus dragons. |

| == Animus History ==
| | As of ''[[The Dangerous Gift]]'', all living animus dragons cannot cast new spells and very likely will never be able to again, due to the spell cast by [[Jerboa III]]. This does not, however, imply that animus magic itself is destroyed, as newborn animus dragons, by Jerboa III's phrasing, should be able to cast new spells, and previously enchanted objects still work.{{Ref|TPJ|300}} |
| * '''[[Albatross]]:''' A former prince of the Seawing tribe. Albatross made several enchantments over the course of a decade - including building the [[Summer Palace]] - before going insane and attempting to kill everyone, including his family. This event was known as the [[The Royal SeaWing Massacre|Royal SeaWing Massacre]].
| |
| * '''[[Princess Anemone]]:''' A daughter of [[Queen Coral]]. Anemone used her magic for various things, including a spear to find [[Whirlpool]] (after he attacked [[Princess Tsunami|Tsunami]]), a spell on [[Princess Auklet|Auklet]]'s harness, and the weather bracelets [[Qibli]] used during ''[[Darkness of Dragons]]''. She was enchanted to be an animus dragon by her brother [[Prince Turtle]], at the [[Talons of Power Ceremony]], as Turtle did not want the responsibilities of an animus.
| |
| * '''[[Prince Arctic]]:''' [[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]]'s father was Prince Arctic, an [[IceWings|IceWing]] prince that fell in love with [[Hope (Foeslayer)|Foeslayer]]. He knew he could never be with her unless he ran away from his tribe. He used his animus power to enchant an earring that would keep Foeslayer warm in cold climates and safe from danger as long as she wore it. A few days before his "Gifting Ceremony", Foeslayer and Arctic slipped out of the Ice Kingdom together. He used his power again to help Foeslayer escape with him. The two ran away to the Night Kingdom, and later had two eggs: Darkstalker and [[Whiteout]]. Darkstalker claims that his father used his power behind the backs of the other IceWings and was already insane. He also claims he had no choice but to kill him.
| |
| * '''[[King Darkstalker|Darkstalker]]:''' Darkstalker was a half NightWing, half IceWing animus, born with strong powers of mind-reading and seeing the future. He put all of his animus power in a scroll or talisman, created the three dreamvisitors, and eventually became obsessed with power and attempted to become king of the NightWings. He killed his father, Arctic, by enchanting him to follow his commands and then ordered him to disembowel himself. His beloved, [[Clearsight]], and his best friend, [[Prince Fathom|Fathom]], tricked him with an animus-touched bracelet that put him to sleep for 2,000 years. He later awoke, buried underground, when the earthquakes caused the bracelet to break. In ''[[Moon Rising]]'', he attempted to show [[Moonwatcher]] that he wasn't evil as everyone else thought. In ''[[Talons of Power]]'', his power returned to him, and he proceeded to give many NightWings superpowers. In ''Darkness of Dragons'' he tried to make Clearsight "alive" by enchanting [[Fierceteeth]]. He also made [[Vulture]]'s emotions change, horrifying Qibli greatly which partly led to his denial of Darkstalker's offer for animus magic.
| |
| * '''[[Queen Diamond]]:''' A former Queen of the IceWings. As animus IceWings only used their power once for a "gift", Diamond's gift the IceWings the gift of healing, five narwhal horn spears that, if touched to a frostbreath injury, would heal it. She was also the only known IceWing (other than Arctic) to break this tradition and use her magic more than once, imprisoning Foeslayer in the [[Diamond Caves]] and creating the [[Diamond Trial]]. This was undone 2,000 years later by [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]].
| |
| * '''[[Prince Fathom]]:''' A SeaWing animus, best friend of Darkstalker until he tricked him into an enchanted sleep. He swore to his [[Queen Pearl|sister]] never to use his powers after the Royal SeaWing Massacre. However, he used them once to stop Darkstalker, and another time to save his other best friend, [[Princess Indigo|Indigo]], both incidences breaking his oath. He was fearful about using his power due to the effects it might have on him.
| |
| *'''[[Princess Frostbite]]:''' An IceWing princess that made the [[Moon Globe Tree]], the Gift of Light. According to [[Ex-Prince Winter|Winter]], she painstakingly carved the tree with her claws instead of enchanting it to grow that way, and often went outside the [[Ice_Kingdom|Ice Kingdom]] to study trees.
| |
| *'''[[Jerboa]]:''' Jerboa, a SandWing from the time of [[Darkstalker (Legends)|''Darkstalker (Legends)'']] was the first known [[SandWings|SandWing]] animus. She ran away after she was sentenced to death by [[Queen Scorpion]] because of the lack of knowledge on animus dragons. She enchanted her daughter to be safe from any sort of harm.
| |
| *'''[[Jerboa II]]:''' Daughter of the original Jerboa, she appears in the epilogue of ''Darkness of Dragons'', ''[[The Lost Continent (Book)|The Lost Continent]]'', and is a POV in ''[[The Poison Jungle (Book)|The Poison Jungle]]'s'' epilogue. Her mother enchanted her so nothing could ever harm her. This seems to have defeated death, as well, making her the second dragon to be shown in the series to be immortal.
| |
| *'''[[Princess Orca]]:''' An animus [[SeaWings|SeaWing]], she had enchanted one of her sculptures of herself to kill other female dragons in her bloodline so she could rule forever. She was killed challenging her mother, [[Queen Coral]], for the throne. Queen Coral put her [[Orca's Statue|enchanted sculpture]] in the underwater Royal Hatchery, where it proceeded to crush the Queen's female eggs. Orca had kept her animus powers a secret, so Queen Coral had never known about the enchanted statue until the end of ''The Lost Heir''.
| |
| *'''[[Penguin (Darkstalker)|Penguin]]:''' An animus IceWing who created the Gift of Diplomacy, a dome that possessed a warm climate on the inside for foreign guests, as well as the set of three bracelets that kept the guests warm and safe from the Great Ice Cliff.
| |
| *'''[[Stonemover]]:''' A NightWing animus. Stonemover figured out a way to transfer the soul loss into his scales, gradually turning them into stone. He described it as "turning the magic upon itself". However, he was already weak from creating tunnels that lead to the [[SandWings|Kingdom of Sand]] and the [[Rainforest Kingdom]], where the [[RainWings]] lived. Stonemover enchanted a [[Dinner|fox]] named [[Dinner]] to bring him the food he needed, for he was too weak to do it himself. He may have created the [[Obsidian Mirror]] and did something to it when he left so that it didn't work as well.
| |
| *'''[[Prince Turtle]]:''' A SeaWing animus who kept his powers a secret like his deceased sister, Orca, he claimed he only enchanted small things, like a river stone he enchanted to heal flesh and muscle wounds in ''[[Escaping Peril]]''. However, he concealed the fact that he also enchanted [[Anemone]], his sister, to become an animus in the [[Talons of Power Ceremony]] so he could conceal his own ability. In [[Talons of Power|''Talons of Power'']]'','' Darkstalker takes away Turtle's animus power, claiming that he was too clever to have animus magic, having erased his presence completely from Darkstalker by using his magic. He has his powers restored when he put on a duplicate of Qibli’s earring enchanted to protect the wearer from Darkstalker’s spells.

| It was thought that using any animus magic could cause insanity, though it was later confirmed that only happens if an animus dragon uses their magic for evil. An example is [[Albatross]], with [[Queen Lagoon|Lagoon]] forcing him to use his magic for her own gain being the possible catalyst. To get around these supposed effects, [[Stonemover ]] enchanted his body to slowly turn into stone when he used his powers, instead of him losing his soul. [[Orca]] proved her insanity and hunger for power when she enchanted her statue that was supposed to kill any female dragonets of [[Coral]] so she could rule without being challenged by siblings. Although, this could have been an oversight, as [[Orca]] thought she would win the challenge. [[Princess Anemone]] went partly insane in [[Talons of Power (Book)|Talons of Power]], although she was reverted to her normal self again, thanks to [[Turtle]]. [[Dragons]] going insane were described to have "hooded eyes". The number of enchantments an animus dragon can make before going insane may vary, as shown in the case of [[Princess Anemone]] and [[Prince Turtle]].
| |
| However, there appears to be possible reason embedded within their emotions when animi lose their soul, as shown with [[Albatross]] and [[Anemone]]. Based upon what [[Albatross]]'s action of strangling a seagull silently with a piece of seaweed in the background after learning that [[Fathom]] was an animus, and what he said to [[Fathom]] during the [[The Royal SeaWing Massacre|Royal SeaWing Massacre]], he seemed to become jealous and resent [[Fathom]], saying that he was the better animus until [[Fathom]]'s abilities were exposed, and that he was going to kill him for it. However, [[Albatross]] did not succeed in killing [[Fathom]], as [[Fathom]] stabbed him with a spear in self-defense, ending the [[The Royal SeaWing Massacre|Massacre]]. There is a different reason behind [[Anemone]]'s insanity during'' [[Talons of Power (Book)|Talons of Power]]'', as also seen in her actions and words, that [[Anemone]] was tired of not being her own dragon, and that she was going to 'show who she really was'. She also showed similar anger about other animi (as seen directed towards [[Turtle]]) the way [[Albatross]] had, saying that 'she was the SeaWing animus' instead of Turtle. However, Turtle saved Anemone from her insanity by taking away her animus powers, reverting her back to her normal self.

| * The actual definition of the word animus is motivation to do something, a hostile or ill feeling, or a [[wikipedia:Anima and animus|theory]] by [[wikipedia:Carl Jung|Carl Jung]] describing the unconscious masculine part of a female's personality. The term ''animus'' is also Latin for ''mind'' or ''heart ''or ''soul''.

| * On June 2nd, 2018 in Winchester, MA, Tui confirmed that ancient IceWing animus dragons had their gifting ceremonies when they turned seven years old.
| |
| * Animus genes formerly ran in the IceWing royal family. This is because the IceWings purposely bred their animi into the royal family, to gain more power.
| |
| * It is said that all animus dragons are part IceWing, which makes sense in several different cases. For example, any NightWing animus would be related to Darkstalker, who was half IceWing. This is also in the SandWings, since Stonemover was a NightWing and had an egg with Thorn, creating Sunny. However, this only continues if Sunny has eggs.
| |
| * The IceWings genetically bred animus magic into their dragons and set up a system so every animus only uses their power once, so they don't go insane. However, Queen Diamond and Prince Arctic did not follow this law, resulting in the Ice Kingdom's loss of their animus dragons and the loss of Queen Diamond's sanity.

Animus magic is magic wielded by animus dragons that allowed them to enchant inanimate objects, plants, animals, and other dragons to do whatever the animus dragon pleases. Animus dragons have been recorded in five of the seven Pyrrhian tribes, yet none of the Pantalan tribes have previously had animus dragons. IceWings, SeaWings, NightWings, SandWings, and SkyWings have all previously had animus dragons.
As of The Dangerous Gift, all living animus dragons cannot cast new spells and very likely will never be able to again, due to the spell cast by Jerboa III. This does not, however, imply that animus magic itself is destroyed, as newborn animus dragons, by Jerboa III's phrasing, should be able to cast new spells, and previously enchanted objects still work.[1]

Description
Capabilities
Animus magic is almost limitless, being capable of moving objects[2] to controlling other dragons.[3] Despite its capabilities, animus magic is unable to bring back the dead;[4] however, it can be used to keep a dragon alive even if they are killed such as how Queen Diamond managed to resurrect Foeslayer with the Diamond Trial.[5] If two animus dragons cast two spells directly in conflict with each other, the one who is older, more powerful, more practiced and experienced, and focused is likely to win, and what exactly was enchanted would have an effect as well.[event 1] Sacrificing an object that an animus loves for a spell makes the spell more powerful.[6]
Use
Animus spells can be cast through spoken words,[7] thoughts,[8] writing,[9] and Aquatic.[10] To ensure accuracy, the spell should be as specific as possible; otherwise the request could be interpreted another way.[11]
Effects/Consequences
The power can be sensed and felt by a faint tingling in the claws.[12][13] Anemone felt cold and strangely hard to the touch after casting spells, and her eyes were out of focus.[14]
It was previously thought that using any animus magic could cause insanity,[15] though it has been heavily implied that this only happens if an animus dragon uses their magic for evil.[16] Turtle once mentioned that animus magic also hurts an animus dragon's soul if it is used for personal gain;[17] however, the books imply that animus magic does affect the soul, as Stonemover enchanted his scales to turn to stone instead.[18] Both Darkstalker and Anemone attempted to prevent this through enchantments, but this did not have any bearing on their eventual actions or the deterioration of their souls.[19] Darkstalker had also tried this two thousand years ago with his talisman.[9] However, no effects were physically showing.
Heavy use of animus magic can unintentionally alter the landscape where it was cast.[event 2]
History
Different tribes have different methods of handling and using their animus dragons. Throughout time, some tribes lost animus magic while other tribes gained it.
IceWings have had animus magic longer than any other tribe,[20] though there was no first animus dragon; the powers were believed to have originated from multiple dragons.[citation needed] IceWings host a test similar to the SeaWings' Talons of Power ceremony[event 3] to find animus dragons.[21] IceWing animus dragons were only permitted to use their power once to benefit the tribe at a gifting ceremony.[15] Prince Arctic's runaway caused the disappearance of animus magic in the tribe, which was bad genetic luck.[event 4]
When Arctic ran away with the NightWings, he introduced animus magic to their tribe.[22] The tribe received their first animus, Darkstalker.[23]
The SandWings had an animus named Jerboa, who became a fugitive after creating the Eye of Onyx.[24]
The SeaWings host a Talons of Power ceremony for SeaWings at the age of two[25] after Albatross, their first animus,[26] violently discovered his animus power.[27] The test usually involves an object that the participants attempt to enchant.[28] The dragon who successfully commands their object is deemed an animus.
Two thousand years before the events of the main series, Albatross went mad and killed most of the ancient royal SeaWing family.[29] This event became widely known across Pyrrhia as the Royal SeaWing Massacre, and was used as a cautionary tale about animus magic.[30] After the massacre, Queen Pearl outlawed animus magic in the Kingdom of the Sea,[31] though the present-day SeaWings allow and use it.
SkyWings have had animus dragons in the past, but they tended to be killed as soon as they were discovered.[32] During the reign of Queen Carmine, as soon as SkyWing dragonets could speak, they would place them in front of a small fire and have them tell it to go out to see if the dragonet was an animus.[33]
