Veil (the):
A barrier that exists between worlds, the Veil is the mystic force that the people of Zynedia managed to breach in order to flee their world and seek sanctuary on Earth. Once a breach has happened, however, it takes time to heal. Because of this the Atheronians were not able to trap the Kye and their sworn enemies also managed to make an escape.
The Veil is also the threshold that people cross when they dream, or when spirits wish to communicate with the living. If The Weave is magic harnessed by peoples' will, the Veil is the paper thin yet hard as diamonds barrier that allows various worlds to function under varying magical properties. It is The Gods way of keeping a semblance of order within a vast universe and it generally is more willing to bend to a caress then to a crushing blow.

Water Magic:
Those born between December and February, or whose astrological sign lines up in one of the three traditional air signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) have a tendency to be able to use water magic either as their primary form of spell casting or in conjunction with their primary spell casting focus.
Water Magic is ruled by the soul, and as such is deeply connected to psychic arts (along with its counterpart, Air Magic.) Water Magic focuses on spiritual matters. Those proficient in it can end up as priests or priestesses, teachers, judges and frost warriors. It is also Water Mages who are natural born Sealers, which can lead to the more aquatically inclined being both feared and revered within Kindred society.
Like Air Magic, Water Magic is represented by Silver and is related to the worship of Ruby, Goddess of the Moon. The current Lady of Water is Carita Veradayne, who is also the leader of the Guardians. She sits in proxy for her son, Kesyl, who is destined to sit across from Fire Lord Azaka Einlazer. Water Magic rules Fire Magic and answers to Earth Magic

Weave (the):
An invisible link between Kindred which allows them to unite their magical powers for greater and more varied effects. Through the Weave they are able to blend different elements, strengthen a spell, keep a spell from exhausting a single caster by sharing the focus between more then one person, etc. The larger a spell that is cast, the greater a ripple that it will send through the Weave. This ensures that magic is not used for evil purposes.
Certain people can tap deeper into the Weave, including the prophets, the Lords & Ladies and Guardians. These people also often have the ability to shield their work, ensuring that it does not ripple and terrify normal Kindred with its overwhelming power. In exchange for this tremendous strength, these people are either the pillars that hold up The Weave or the warriors who protect them. In the case of Guardians (as protectors) their ability to tap into tremendous magical strength is tied into their bond with the one that they protect.
