For anyone who is still confused about the Power system, this chapter will give an easy explanation.

🔷 POWER SYSTEM SUMMARY
🔹 1. Awakening Process
What it is: The moment when an individual activates their Leym Core, allowing them to harness magical energy.
Types of Awakening
Natural Awakening: Triggered via ritual, but a naturally occurring ritual. (e.g., Kallan's bike accident)
Artificial Awakening: Triggered via ritual, usually passed down or known (e.g., family rituals).
Half-Awakened
Incomplete awakening (usually interrupted).
Can only use Leym energy, not affinity.
High risk of turning into demons over time.
🔹 2. Affinity vs. Manifestation
Affinity: Your elemental alignment (e.g., Fire, Water).
Manifestation: The specific form your affinity takes (e.g., Dew Water, Orange Flame).
🔁 Same affinity can have wildly different manifestations, each with unique strengths (combat, support, utility, etc.).
🔹 3. Leym Energy
What it is: Life-force/magical energy from the spiritual realm, flowing invisibly through the world.
Core Mechanism
Humans have a Leym Core in the heart, dormant at birth.
Awakening activates this core, enabling Leym manipulation.
Core absorbs external Leym energy, stores it for usage.
Leym Usage Requires:
A functioning Leym Core.
Understanding of the Core, Mind, and Body trinity (see below).
🔹 4. Leym Core Ranks
Power progression system, divided into 5 main Ranks, each with 3 sub-stages:
Initial
Middle
Peak
Ranks:
Spark
Form
Bloom
Ascend
Crown
To Break Through Ranks:
Reach Leym energy threshold ("wall of breakthrough").
Comprehend your affinity at a deeper level.
Undergo Core Evolution:
Collapse current core.
Rebuild a new one using all stored Leym.
Failure = permanent loss of awakening.
⚠️ Risk: Core Evolution is high-stakes — fail to rebuild, and you're done.
🔹 5. Affinity Comprehension Stages
You must understand your affinity to progress through ranks.
Stages:
Recognition(you first become aware of your affinity — needed to use Leym)
Resonance
Embodiment
Transcendence
Unity
Most students haven't even reached Recognition, meaning they don't know their affinity yet.
🔹 6. Trinity of Leym Technique
To absorb or manifest Leym energy, a user must master:
🔸 Core
Spiritual organ in the heart.
Stores and stabilizes Leym energy.
🔸 Mind
Subdues chaotic Leym from the world.
Requires visualization, mental clarity, and strong willpower.
🔸 Body
Physical pathways (Leym Circuits/spiritual veins) carry energy.
Must use proper breathing, posture, and control.
🔹 7. Absorption vs. ManifestationAbsorption Method
Pulls external Leym into the body.
Requires submission of chaotic energy via visualization (e.g., leading blindfolded, battling wolves, etc.)
Manifestation Method
Sends Leym from the core outward to form abilities.
🔹 8. Risks & Consequences
Half-Awakened → Demons if not fully awakened in time.
Failed Core Evolution → Permanent loss of Leym abilities.
Leym techniques are safe but require extreme discipline.
🔹 9. Leym External Manifestation Process (Output Flow) ✅ Definition:
The act of drawing stored Leym energy from your awakened core and projecting it outward through your Leym Circuits to create a physical or visible effect.
🔸 Key Steps of Manifestation:
Enter Inner Focus (Inner Sight):
Engage your mental state to visualize your inner body (core, circuits, flow paths).
This is known as Inner Sight, a technique not taught formally, but crucial.
Access the Leym Core:
Leym energy appears as a colorless mist inside the spherical core.
User reaches into the core with their mind (or visualization) to extract Leym.
Guide Leym into Circuits:
Leym must be consciously directed into the Leym Circuits that are tied to the body's nervous system.
These circuits were awakened alongside the Leym Core.
Seal Off Unnecessary Paths (Optimization):
User must optimize flow by mentally sealing side paths in the circuits.
This precision enhances stability and flow efficiency.
Project Leym Outward:
Leym flows to a target area (e.g., right hand), then exits the body to form a visible construct or technique.
Example: Caelus creates a floating orb of colorless Leym in his palm.
🔹 10. Custom Technique Creation (Spontaneous Manifestation) ✅ Definition:
The creation of a new technique by customizing how Leym flows through the body and exits into the world.
🛠️ Caelus's Breakthrough: He invents a cold-neutralizing body technique by wrapping Leym around his skin like a second layer, providing thermal regulation.
🔸 What It Involves:
Creative use of willpower + Inner Sight + flow manipulation.
Deep concentration and tolerance to pain (especially for body-bound techniques).
Acts like "binding" Leym to specific body parts or regions.
🔹 11. Pain Response & Sensory Feedback
Manifestation comes with intense feedback:
Pain during first externalization (Leym cutting through or activating circuits).
Body spasms, sensory overload, and physical exhaustion.
After the first success, sensations like pain from manifesting will be gone slowly.
🔹 12. Inner Sight – Crucial for Both Absorption & Manifestation
🔍 Inner Sight = Visualizing internal spiritual anatomy:
Leym Core
Leym Circuits
Essential for controlling Leym with precision (entry and exit).
🔷 FUNCTIONAL POWER LOOP (Cycle of Use)
A[Absorb Leym from Environment] --> B[Store in Awakened Core]
B --> C[Use Inner Sight to Access Core]
C --> D[Channel Leym into Circuits]
D --> E[External Manifestation]
E --> F[Custom Technique or Effect]
F --> G[Depletes Core Reserves]
G --> A
🔹 13. Notes on Technique Success Factors
Mental Focus: Distraction = failure.
Visualization Strength: Clearer mental images = smoother flow.
Body Discipline: Must resist physical discomfort (cold, pain, fatigue).
Affinity Stage: Unknown or undeveloped affinities = harder time creating elemental effects.
Caelus is still below Recognition, meaning he cannot create elemental-type manifestations—only raw Leym projection.
