Mana Manipulator

Legend

“He still remembered how the little girl that many decades ago smiled in joy, broke concentration and taught patterns, and rushed things. Blasting a rift into the Astral the loosened energies roaring their laboratory seeking for carcasses to fill, his comrades warped, bent and dissolved. The deafening roar silencing with her scream as the rift consumed all but he. So when he saw the glimpse in the boys eye and the wrinkle twist of mouth, he slammed a silencing aura onto the lad…”.

History

A Mana Manipulator is someone who has the ability to bend, augment, twist, or otherwise modify reality content or energy flow. Because their untrained acts have resulted in blunders and calamities in the past, it is currently regarded best practice to place these gifts in the care of a teacher as soon as they are found. As a result, newfound Mana Manipulators are put as apprentices under the supervision of an experienced Mana Manipulator. As a result, they might be coached in accordance with what is thought to be the best fit for the discovered potential.

Dropping this mechanism was considered, but the cost of losing prospective talent or bystanders exceeded any protestors. However, others argue that its existence also prevents the advancement of Arcane Magic, as well as the control of Magic Schools and Masters.

Throughout schooling, students gradually develop their talents, skills, and knowledge. This results in what is known as “spanning the colors.” Slowly gaining power and increasing the scope of manipulation. As a result, a properly taught Apprentice achieving Novice rank may begin to practice a neighboring Aura Color. When they reach Journeyman level, they can choose a third Aura Color, and so on.

Organisation

Many people have perished in misery, transformed into cripples or horrific beasts, or disturbed reality due to bad casting. As a result, Magic users have decided to follow the information learned. As a result, it is extremely unusual to venture down unexplored roads or attempt to cast and manipulate beyond one’s ability. As a result, most people stick to the rigid Realms, Paths, and Levels of Mastery, which are divided into eight separate knowledge and difficulty levels. The perceptive may note a resemblance with the way Guilds are constructed, and it’s no accident – but it’s unclear who copied who due to the thousands of years of history.

 

Truenames, Vornirian,  Mana Mastery, Mana Burst, Mana Carcass, Hand Weaving, Void Weaving, Alchemy, and Ingredients are the eight Magic Schools that every Manipulator of the Mana Sea practices and trains in.

Alchemy: how Ingredients are prepared.

• Stats for one’s ability are Intuition, Presence, and Wisdom

Hand Weaving: indicates the precision with which the caster’s hand gestures affect reality by controlling the shape and flow of the Mana Sea.

• Stats for one’s ability are Dexterity, Quickness, and Wisdom

Ingredients: Understanding of which raw materials, resources, and so on can increase or decrease the effects of Path Spells.

• Stats for one’s ability are Dexterity, Presence, and Wisdom

Linguistically: how precisely can the Mana Manipulator speak the True Names of objects and creatures in the old divine language Vornirian.

• Stats for one’s ability are Empathy, Intuition, and Wisdom

Mana Mastery: the Mana Manipulator’s ability to regulate the vibrancy and keep the length of Path Spells discharged without interruption.

• Stats for one’s ability are Empathy, Intuition, and Presence

Mana Burst: the capacity to manage large quantities of Mana released in a single Path Spell discharge without depleting soul or health pieces.

• Stats for one’s ability are Constitution, Presence, and Wisdom

Mana Carcass: training the body to determine how much Mana a caster’s carcass can hold without warping.

• Stats for one’s ability are Empathy, Intuition, and Strength

Truenames: how extensive is the Manipulator’s knowledge of true names, as well as their ability to discern patterns within Truenames?

• Stats for one’s ability are Presence, Intuition, and Wisdom

Special

Mana Manipulators have a sixth sense and can detect when there are people with excellent Manipulating talents nearby, therefore they tend to avoid crowds or disguise themselves in different ways.
