Orange is the Color of Matter, which makes it one of the most ubiquitous colors. Orange governs chemical interactions and transformation of materials, from the distillation of liquid to the refining of metal; all inorganic matter falls under its purview. Orange is the color of civilization itself, the eternal furnace that fuels industries and armies alike.
Orange Flux is commonly found in cities, especially factories and, much to researchers confusion, shopping areas. It also gathers in areas where natural reactions occur by themselves, such underground petroleum reserves. Orange Flux powers most interstellar industry, being used to refine materials or enhance foundries. Almost every item in circulation has been touched by Orange Flux at one point or another.
Its allied colors are Red, Yellow and White; while it is opposed by Blue.
Applications of Orange sorcery:
— Telekinesis
While often confused for a Blue subschool, telekinesis, the magical manipulation of the matter, is an Orange discipline. Users mostly focus on a specific substance, such as water or stone, with their proficiency depending on their understanding of the material. Creative Orange Sorcerers can turn the very environment into an extension of their will.
Fire itself occupies a gray area; while understood as a chemical reaction, fire manipulation has traditionally been a matter of Red sorcery (by manipulating heat and light). While most Orange Sorcerers find ways to create chemical combustions, they rarely manage to control the flames they create.
— Transmutation
Transmutation is the art of altering matter to transform it into something new. By understanding the composition of matter, Transmuters deconstruct and reconstruct matter as they wish on a molecular level. Transmuters often stop at deconstruction, turning matter back into its basic components to inflict lethal damage.
— Weightening
Weightening is the art of manipulating mass, both to decrease or increase it. Weighters can do things such as fly, grow bigger or smaller, or even reinforce matter by tightening the bonds between molecules. By turning Orange Flux into artificial molecules, Orange Sorcerers can temporarily violate the law of conservation of mass; with the most experienced of them having managed to materialize imaginary objects through sheer force of will.
Orange Sorcerers
The second most common type behind Green, Orange Sorcerers are worldly people. More concerned with the physical world than abstract concepts, they frequently trade their services for cash or material benefits. This makes them the sorcerers less likely to try to avoid registration, and the most likely to live in luxury. They are mercenaries at heart, with their spells always in high demand.
Due to their ability to generate cash, either through their powers or commerce, Orange Sorcerers tend to live a luxurious life and enjoy the finer things in life. While their attention to details make them excellent administrators, they are rarely found in command positions. Orange Sorcerers are usually content to let more strategic people give them tasks while they don’t have to think much.
Orange Sorcerers are adept at both creation and large-scale destruction. Incredibly versatile, it is said that they never quite fight the same way twice, and that the place where they are fought either make or break them. The best of them focus on improving their own power rather than rely on outside resources, which enemies can deprive them of.
Escalation: Gula: Orange Sorcerers escalate less often than other sorcerers, but when they fall to madness, it is with feverish zeal. Such Orange Sorcerers become obsessed with overindulgence and material gain, to the point of neglecting any other consideration. Anything they desire, they try to steal, steamrolling anything in their way. Entire worlds are drained of the very last drop of gold, and wars declared over a cup of wine. These madmen continuously dig themselves deeper into depravity, as any excess must top the previous one. The very worst of the Orange Sorcerers eventually turn people into wealth in a very literal way, transforming their victims into statues of gold, or worse, into food.

By touching one or more inorganic item, the caster can permanently fuse with it, integrating it into their body with no damage.
