Inadvertently created with Taruthe when Aster wished for one more Deity to unite the Ontautt, Sham’ayn has always been in touch with magik of the Known Universe unrelated to Aster.¹ These loose magiks are believed to be curated by Sham’ayn, though it is unclear whether she controls them or acts as a conduit, much like Aster does.²

Though she was one of the central figures in both Deity wars, her magik was a key component in bringing the Ontautt together on Astran and Tyme.² Medallions she created with Aster bind each Deity to their shared form, and dull their abilities.³

Her influence over The Blade and other ills across Omneutta is of much debate, especially amongst her children—the sha’an.^{4, 5} Though she is often depicted as wielding artifacts like the other Deities, many shani believe that symbology is more important in channeling her magiks than the artifacts themselves.⁶
