Luna, Spirit of the Moon

General
Luna is the elegant, gentle spirit tied to the moon. While she exists mainly to carry out the moon's functions, she also is considered to be a guardian of those escaping abuse. Her defining characteristic is her kindness combined with her quiet strength and persistence. This is definitely the goddess to go to if

Why is she a "Spirit," and not a Goddess?
These terms can sometimes be used interchangeably, but it mostly has to do with power, influence, and origins. As she is a deity that came about because of creaturekind's collective beliefs, she is considered a spirit -- however, she also hold enough influence to be called a goddess. Part of the reason why she is not incredibly "powerful" in comparison with some of the other deities is because of her distance from Teradera. If, for example, a player was on the moon, she would be much more of a force to be reckoned with; in fact, maybe even on par with Marigold and Prochora. This is why her power increases so much at night despite still technically being there but not visible.

Magic
Her magic is heavily focused on the usage of gravitational pull and healing. It is gesture-based, and on her own, it looks like she is performing a solo ballet. Her style is graceful, elegant, and deadly in the soft, suffocating way bedsheets under water can be. Her magic works best when paired with Cymatilis. When paired together, they do what can be best be described as a waltz. She can offer buffs to charisma (Divine Law of Attraction), increase/decrease strength (Alio Gravitatis), and healing (Moonbeam Stitch). The effects are somewhat randomized but low during the day. The same spells are doubled at night, tripled on a full moon, and halved on a new moon.
