Sources of Power

Power
A power source isn't what you do: it's where it comes from. Some receive it from a god, some study it, some carry it inside and some build it; what each one does with it afterwards — runes, prayers, techniques, gunpowder — is another question.

A ⁠magister and a ⁠devotee can light the same fire, and the fire doesn't come to them from the same power source: the magister's comes from having learned to write prana; the devotee's, from a god who grants it. Runifying and praying are two power methods: two ways of using it. And a single power source has more than one — the magister who runifies can also channel —, but however much the power method changes, the power source stays the same.

And you don't need to learn them one by one. Power sources are grouped by the origin they share — a god, the study of prana, what you already carry inside or what is built —, and that's why there are only four power groups. They help you find your bearings broadly: understanding one power source doesn't require knowing the others.

Almost every power source works on the same material: prana, which fills the whole physical world and of which every living being is made; the science that studies it is ⁠pranadynamics. Almost all, but not all: some don't touch it at all and still do things anyone would call magic.

Canons

Canons are written in a specific pranic language; only a person who deeply understands that certain language and at the same time knows how to channel prana is able to activate and use it. The more powerful and devastating a canon aims to be, consequently the more complex the syntax of the power formula must be (becoming more intricate and difficult to understand or formulate).

Ways to Invoke Power

The interaction with the prana has been studied and cultivated from different perspectives and approaches, giving rise to large categories of understanding about the sources of power:

theologians

Els déus

Chosen

People who have been predestined by the gods to carry out a heavenly mission, granting them power of divine use without having cultivated it directly.

Heretat

Devotion

People who give themselves over to worship the gods in order to attract their favor or intercede for them, turning this faith into formal powers.

Ritus Precs Salms Fe

Pranadynamics

La pranadinàmica

Magister

They study Pranadynamics to manipulate prana through different methods: runic writing, channeling, codification and pranic rewriting.

Runificació Canalització Codificació Verion

Harmony

They manage to deeply connect with their own Senki making it vibrate like an instrument or tuning fork, thus forcing the surrounding prana to harmonize and resonate responding strictly to its internal rhythm and tone.

Ressonància Prànica

Enlightened

Senki (戦機)

Power of one's own: neither granted, nor studied, nor built. Senki depends on nothing outside — no god, no instrument, no formula — and that is why it belongs to the Enlightened and not to pranadynamics. A technique reserved to eastern Nabiit, jealously kept inside its sealed domain.

Confluència Kidō (気道)

Esper

Individuals gifted from birth and who depend on finding the right balance through peace or rigorous mental training to activate and squeeze mystical anomalies in their favor.

Mental

Discipline

A select group of combatants capable of driving and altering physical barriers only in favour of taking their bodies to extremes beyond those practically allowed by cellular systems, maximizing strengths, heights and absurd speeds.

Tècnica Respiració

scientists

Alchemy

Scholars focused entirely on the empirical side of development, placing active control over elements above pure prana to achieve mutation of reality and the inherent property of objects and people.

Cercle elemental Mixtura

Technology

Minds dedicated to the research of electron component operation and traditional explosives giving them the opportunity to be much more skilled with all the destructive engineering not regulated by natural magic currents.

Concentration Zones

Frequently throughout nature, there are areas of the map where high concentrations of fluid chains form (both single types and certain crossings). This generates regions of high propensity and passive ease to make channelizations by having free prana around very willing to receive an order quickly. This reality especially benefits any kind of Verion, who will find enormous potential facilities for making and establishing large volatile combinations of almost instant pleasure in the environment.

Use in Equipment

Painted Equipment:

The runes or indications made with pigments are altered when driving high quantities. In addition, they can be automatically destroyed or fragmented if the material where they have been inscribed is particularly unstable at field crossings.

Tattooed Channelers:

The records that are established directly above an being run obvious collateral risks when they pass loads over them. They are progressively exhausted; if the drawings are not reviewed, the runic system is totally lost. They depend on the frequency in which they must be made on currents of use by the related and will have to always be carried out by an expert runificator of talent. They do not allow storage, and therefore force the carrier to put from his natural reserve exclusively in the act, being forced to channel in situ.

Integrated Weaponry:

They are the tools manufactured and chiseled under details that challenge the profane eye, using robust combinations to the destabilizing factors of the formulas. Being made from persistent matrices allows them to provide objects that can directly contain reserves of concentrate for their self-channeled operation and without wear in a loop so as not to take too much practical usufruct for the life of the weapon with each press. To use runic techniques, you must comply with the INT specifications present on the weapon and naturally possess a channel associated with this inherent Prana typology for interaction and recharging.
