Unity (MTAs)

Unity is a concept at the heart of the paradigm of the Ahl-i-Batin, and they postulated it to be the Tenth Sphere of Magic.

According to the Doctrine of Unity, God or the One communicates to Creation through an entity called the Kamil or the Entelechy. Kamil is present in all sentient beings, and so in order to achieve unity with the One, humans must strive to achieve unity with one another. They identify this principle with the strict monotheism of Islam, which demands total submission to the will of God.

On the Night of Fana, when the Batini were first formed, the Khwaja al-Akhbar manifested in a moment of perfect Unity: not only the minds of the mages present but the physical space they inhabited collapsed into one point. It is from this moment of revelation that the Doctrine of Unity was developed.
