Author: Nemos; written first seventh [Maiyrhia: edited incorrect date] day of verse two in CoP game. Edited for brevity. << and >> denote the start and end of text.

The purpose of this book is to document thought, analyse content and form a new synthesis of thought without recourse to experience. It constructs a conjecture regarding the nature of the Necessity that guides the Children of Power.
My authority to write this book comes from that I am accepted as the Child of Ice. I am also a scholar & magister in my own right.
First, I provide a baseline through which accepted magics are understood. There are:
>>
The following is constructed as a diagram:
<<
Fire; who's second power: more fire magic; who's full power: power over others' willpower and self control.
Light; Second: Ability to affect elemental darkness. Full: Share in others' knowledge and skills.
Wind; Second: Go round corners. Full: Mental communication with others.
Earth; Second: More earth magic Full: Reading the history of an item or location.
Water; Second: Water in one's body. Full: Premonitions of an uncertain future.
Ice; Second: Cryostasis. Full: Premonitions of a certain future.
Darkness; Second: Control elemental light. Full: Control over negative emotion.
Metal; Second: Magnetism. Full: Send and transmit a sense through metal.
Energy; Second: Burst. Full: Temporary access to ability to sense life or death. Some sources: control over life and death.
>>
Diagram also makes it painfully clear as to which are opposite to which; light to dark, etc,. Omitted for brevity.

Given prior research and personal experience, Chaos occurs when opposites mix in certain situations. I refer to Luminev ('06) post-second-Golden-Age and my own experiences with Kairo and Jadyr -- child of Water and Energy respectively. They are twins.
Also, allowing that I cannot prove Chaos (Chaos is fundamentally unprovable with current Method), I must form my conjecture on no basis save for interpolation and extrapolation of an existing pattern.
The conjecture is that Chaos is an element of magic. And that Necessity and/or a Harmony opposite to Chaos. And that the Prophesies which guide the actions of the Children of Power (Luminev('07 through 20), Niron ('72) et al*) are fundamentally tied to that Necessity.
The Twinned, Opposite Children of Power exist with the sole power to increment upon the amount of Chaos in the world. The conjecture relies upon the mirroring of the opposites against each other; Harmony and Necessity aided by Chaos in the same way the actions of two Opposite, Twinned Children of Power interact. This assumption is made under the premise that Harmony and Necessity work though the actions of the Children of Power.
It follows that there also exist Chaos, Harmony and Necessity elementals. The existence of which would prove said conjecture.
It could also explain the effectiveness of Rituals and naturally occurring magical areas. I propose more research into quantitatively and qualitatively analysing the world in terms of Chaos, Harmony and Necessity.
>>
A substantial gap follows, allowing for further writing on the subject. The second part is completely separate.
<<
I draw the reader's attention to the nature and contents of said prophesy and the ramifications thereof:
"The reign of trust, next to break
ties of life you must remake
Death; the end, suffering, all here, but
All will be revealed as fake
The key, survival, the Holy Lake"
This is the product of Necessity. I am not convinced it is on our side, given that it requires the unmaking of ties of life, the abandonment of accepted truths and the breaking of trust.
It requires analysis to address the following queries:
1) why need there be a prophesy?
2) what defines the form and why, of said prophesy?
Answering 1, I defer to my works in the beginning of this book. Potentially answering said question with the facets of 'who' or 'what' constructed it.
Answering 2 has several solutions.
It could be that the prophesies are to be distributed freely, and they remain obscure and non-distinct to remain occluded from realisation until the time when the solution is necessary. Occluded also from the minds of our enemies. I welcome other interpretations on said subject, and advise and ask they be compiled at the University of Aiwelleah or Marstow.
Regardless, it is important to keep to moral and ethical principles in order to achieve a lasting success as a species, and to achieve a lasting species given the scope and scale of problems when the Children of Power are abroad. I refer to the attempted opening of the Old Domain in recent times.
In order to do so, I declare that it is necessary to publish a pamphlet for extensive distribution; a call to unity to help effectively manage the Chaos inherent in the system.
We are not here to eliminate Chaos (much as an organism without an element of Chaos does not grow or evolve,) nor are we willing, as a species, to exacerbate Chaos (an organism with excess would succumb and die).
The solution is to be found in extensive communication between persons in a unified system built on trust and effective mediation.
In order to achieve that, I do not propose that a system be constructed. I instead propose that it already exists.
It is the feeling of selflessness that rewards lack of malice, ambition or greed.
In order to effectively mediate and allow for the Children of Power to afford the world the greatest gain, it is necessary for me to encourage individuals (the readers of said pamphlet, no less) to abhor all actions that follow the maladaptive vices. It is most reasonable to confer before taking action but (for example:) with no willing soldiery nor gluttonous adversity, the greatest of solutions can be found in, but not through, the greatest of conflicts.

Here he ends. He's run out of things to say, so stopped.
