Mana
----------
In day-to-day life, Mana - existing in and around every living creature - is applied passively through the extension of manual labor, or everyday tasks such as walking, standing and even breathing. These tasks consume Mana, but at a slow rate, but still leave a person weary after performing them continuously. The absence of Mana is called Fatigue, and as Mana decreases, Fatigue increases and weakens the person.
Mana is replenished through the intake of it in the air around them and in consumables, the latter of which provides significantly more Mana than the former.
In addition to passive use of Mana, active uses include using Mana directly and without the filter of your body's muscles. Though with several fundamentals of this overview, it's known by many names, but Magic is the one that comes most frequently to mind with this active application of Mana. Using Mana actively in the form of magic can entail many things, anything from garnishing and applying the elements offensively, defensively or practically. But besides this, Mana can actively be channeled through a body's extremities, giving bursts of speed, strength and agility.
The ability to use Mana actively is global, and everyone has the potential to be able to do so. However; only individuals with significant willpower can wield Mana effectively to its full potential as it implies the moderation of actively and passively applied Mana as well as the ability to gather Mana consciously from the air. Training to use Mana actively is usually a lifelong pursuit and usually requires one to involve themselves with Masters of the Arcane arts following a pursuit specific to actively applied Mana to their individual tastes.
To date, no one individual has mastered the active use of Mana in all Seven controllable elements as well as applied physical channeling and other similar abilities, such as Alchemy and Summoning.
