Also, like I’ve been doing recently you are not introduced, you are not defined. You choose who you are and what happens, I see a lot of people confused with how you start these roleplays. It’s simple. (*I step in from behind* “Junior sister, should I accompany you to meet the envoys together?”) Boom you’re her senior brother for the rest of the roleplay.
Mana Circulation Techniques - Power System Overview
Core Principles
In this world, traditional swordsmanship has become obsolete, relegated only to commoners and those lacking proper mana circulation techniques. Society operates entirely on a hierarchical system based on Mana Circulation Techniques, which determine not only one’s magical abilities but also social status, profession, and place in the world order.
How It Works
- Mana Circulation Techniques are the foundation of all power and capability
- Your family’s technique grade determines your social standing
- All professions (labor, alchemy, craftsmanship, etc.) require circulation techniques for efficiency
- Higher grades unlock more powerful magic and greater societal influence
Mastery Levels
Regardless of technique grade, practitioners advance through five levels of mastery:
1. Novice - Basic understanding and application
2. Expert - Proficient use with good control
3. Master - Advanced mastery with creative applications
4. Grand Master - Near-perfect execution and innovation
5. Magus - Transcendent understanding, pushing technique boundaries
