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.

Organization

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.

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.
