Of important note is the game's power/magic hierarchy system. What appears to be a simple triangle of color/symbols is, on the contrary, a very complex and highly symbolic representation of religion. The image above is not only the games magic system but rather is also an order and depiction of spiritual rank. At the bottom left of the shown pyramid is a green star. The natural, earthen green reinforces the symbolism of the star shown. The green star is symbolically Earth. Above Earth, (determined by following the arrow to right of the green star) is a blue moon. The color blue symbolically reinforces the astral and celestial placement of the moon. The blue moon is symbolically Heaven. Following the arrow higher than Heaven, the yellow sun is reached at the head of the hierarchy pyramid. Yellow is spiritual, the color of truth, and the color is a reinforcement of the radiant sun. The yellow sun is God.
