So what the hell is Sinbad talking about?/Magi terminology (WIP)
Singularity: A term Sinbad doesn't use himself, but one consistently applied to him by Magis and Magician. What it generally means is that he has an incredibly large amount of life-force within his body and the ability to carve out his own fate in the world.
Rukh: The life energy of the world, the memory of the world and everything that lives in it - normally invisible to ordinary humans unless they're gathered in an unusually massive amount, otherwise only Magicians and Magis can see them unaided. They appear as butterflies or birds made from pure white light. In a Pan-Fandom game, anyone that can sense/detect magic will see his life energy as Rukh
Black Rukh: The corrupted birds born from beings who despaired and cursed their fate. Blackened Rukh cannot return to the Great Flow after the person's death, but instead lingers. The more Black Rukh there are, the closer the world comes to utter destruction. Just because someone has Black Rukh, it doesn't mean they're a bad person, just they can no longer endure the life that they have - it's just often times, someone who has "Fallen into Depravity" would lash out at everyone they viewed had caused them curse their fate in the first place. It is possible to only be partly fallen - Sinbad is the only known example. And it's shown this can be artificially induced in someone, and because it's unnatural they suffer even more then someone that has fallen naturally - and if Judal's a typical example, they would suffer from great mental instability and memory problems.
Magi: They are the Sorcerers of Creation, and Beloved by the Rukh. They are the highest level of magic-users in existence, as not only they have a high amount of magical energy innately, the Rukh freely gather around them and replenish them. Normally there are only suppose to be three Magis at one time, and they exist to pick a worthy person to become a King that change the world. Aside from choosing kings, their most unique ability is the power to raise dungeons for potential kings to conquer and prove their mettle. Magis are the only things that can truly reincarnate if Yunan is to be believed.
Magoi: What Rukh is called when it's gathered in a single person, it's their life energy, and the source of magical ability. Fanalis have low magoi amounts by default, while Sinbad has nearly unlimited Magoi as a Singularity, and Magis have a similar amount due to their status as being beloved by the Rukh. It is possible to overuse one's own Magoi and die.
Great Flow: The concept of that everything is part of one, so when something dies, the Rukh disperses among the masses, their memory still exist within the individual Rukh and can manifest as a kind of ghost with a Magi's help, but otherwise the rukh helps to form the life of a new being - though this isn't true reincarnation, as only the lifeforce is used, not the memory of an individual.
Fate: It's a little complicated in how the series use it, but it's not true prestidigitation (where everything is predetermined regardless of what you do), but just a general or default path one's life might take or a universal "Truth" in how the world functions.
Al-Thamen: or Al-Sarmen, depending on translation. They are a group of magicians who cursed the fate of Alma Torran - the world that existed before the current one, who were so angry and bitter over Solomon's actions not only did they destroy Alma Torran, but they hopped over to the current world to destroy it out of pure spite to erase all vestiges of the man's existence. They manipulate events to create as much strife and misery as possible in order to create enough Black Rukh to summon an abomination to end all existence. Many of the members are virtually ghosts, only kept alive by dolls, which allows them to return no matter how many times they 'die' long as the doll is intact. Sinbad despises these people above all else and will kill them without hesitation.
