The Sacred
The white tigers — deeply tied to the spiritual affinities, and resistant to a great deal of magic.
A breed of Tiger
What differs
The sacred are the white tigers, and they are a breed in their own right rather than a colour morph.
This is a real departure from the animal. In the wild, white tigers are Bengal tigers carrying a recessive pigmentation gene, essentially all descended from a single captive animal, with the inbreeding problems that implies. None of that applies here. The sacred are their own lineage.
Where other tigers have nothing fixed magically, the sacred carry a deep magical connection — typically to more than one of the spiritual affinities at once, meaning soul, spirit and vital in some combination.
They also carry a strong immunity to many kinds of magic, which is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly: a great deal of what would work on anyone else simply does not work on them.
Magic
The spiritual connection and the resistance both come with the breed. What a sacred tiger does with either is entirely their own, and being sacred says nothing whatsoever about temperament.
