In the world of Aris, mana reigned supreme. It was not a rigid force bound by singular laws but a flexible and adaptive energy that permeated everything: air, land, water, and even blood.
Over countless generations, civilizations had learned to bend this energy into structured systems, creating clear paths for the awakened.
Broadly speaking, there existed three primary methods through which mana was utilized.
The first was battle techniques: methods that used weapons as conduits for mana, allowing the wielder to amplify physical actions into destructive forces. These techniques depended on precision, control, and experience rather than raw imagination.
The second was spells, which relied purely on mana manipulation without physical mediums. These demanded talent, affinity, and complex mental calculations; once a spell was formed, it was recorded down for future generations.
