Vei is the color of wisdom, judgment, and inductive reasoning. It combines your intuitions with time-tested assumptions to bring you to a workable conclusion. A guess, hypothesis, or estimation would fit in this color, as would all philosophical questions.
With Quae, Vei advises or discovers, trading secrets or mentoring those who would listen to uncover mysteries.
With Sace, Vei becomes the color of enchantment, illusion, and magic. Magi temper their emotions to work wonders, often using the element of dust.
With Ela, Vei carries the additional weight of honor and betrayal. Trust, accusations, and justice all emerge from these colors.
Wim and Yun are the colors least aligned with Vei. The temptation of power often clashes with the temperance of wisdom. Likewise, magic can change the world by tapping into the right emotions, but no amount of raw power can force a person to feel exactly what you want.
An advisor, explorer, or investigator would all fit well into Vei. Such characters must balance the facts (Quae) with their beliefs (Ela), drawing attention to the question at hand and not themselves (Sace). They seek a specific, transformative change, not to force their own reality on the world (Yun+Wim).
An arguably historical figure based in Vei might be King Solomon, classically considered one of the wisest men to have ever lived. As an important figure in several world religions (Ela), he served as a mentor and teacher (Quae), giving out advice and ruling on difficult judgments. He ultimately fell to the allure of exotic women (Sace), and this resulted in the dismantling of his lands and legacy (Yun+Wim).
