===Domain Miracle Thoughts=== Motion, despite being something that happens physically (mostly), is not something with its own substance. It's a property other things have, or a description of how they're acting. This can make a little odd compared to object-oriented estates. It can affect a lot of things, but in a fairly narrow and specific way that doesn't inherently change their substance otherwise. I can't burn something directly, but I can Create Motion so it's now rolling into a fire. (Well, heat's motion from a prosaic standpoint.) A Conversation or Divination with Motion is lets you investigate the motion of particular thing, but only about its motion. You can determine things like current velocity, whether it's sped up or slowed down, maybe even where it's been recently. This isn't necessarily single objects, but it could be the motion of pop bottles through a factory line, blood through veins, traffic through an intersection, or a wheel spinning. A Greater Divination applies to vast systems, like rivers, ocean currents, the weather, electrical grids, etc. Preservation of Motion is basically super momentum, making it harder to change. A wheel will keep spinning despite friction or a car will keep going despite brakes. (And possibly despite a wall.) Greater Preservations can keep that going indefinitely - a turbine might keep spinning long after its fuel is gone, making a perpetual motion machine - or do it on a vastly larger scale. A Creation of Motion is fairly straightforward - it takes something where there's no motion and gets it going, or adding more motion to something to increase the speed. Animation is more about changing Motion, so that it's got a different direction or path that it follows. This could extend to slowing things, but not stopping them. At this level it still needs to be 'natural' movement to an extent. You can make a pig fly, but once the miracle stops it's going to resume a natural trajectory and the logical end thereof. Don't make pigs fly without bringing them to a graceful stop first. Greater Creations and Animations apply this on a huge scale. You can't make a proper, dharmic sharknado, but you can make the air and water spin really fast and hurl sealife around with it. Destructions can be slowing down, but are also full stops. It can be sudden and instantaneous. This wouldn't necessarily come with the side-effects such a halt would cause if done mundanely, though. The motion just stops without the physical processed done to this. A Greater Destruction will pin celestial bodies to the sky, halt a hurricane, and so forth. A Motion of Motion lets you more gracefully alter how things move when they're not being actively miracled at. This is where you can help porcine aviation, or change how people interact with motion. You might turn a photograph or painting into a moving picture. Greater Motions lets you do really crazy stuff like change how entire nations move. Maybe you can never make a left turn and have to make three rights instead, or a river flows from the ocean up to its sources. One question that may come up is immaterial things. Prosaic reality claims heat and sound are movement of particles, but this may not apply outside of Earth. Ideas or memes 'move' through the Internet, or are conveyed from person to person by conversation. This is probably something to experiment with as he explores the extent of Motion and his powers.
