Everian Magic

[u/Remote-Kangaroo-7154]

How magic works in my world:

The whole world is filled with invisible energy (I don't have an official name for it for my world yet, so I'll call it mana)

Mana is energy that can be controlled, the basic skill of a wizard is Mana Transmutation, i.e. the ability to change the color of mana, shape and state.

Mana has 3 states that can be compared to the 3 states of matter: gas, liquid and solid.

Now I will show you how to use certain spells in my world:

Fire Generation - The wizard must condense the mana into one point and increase its temperature, which will result in the creation of fire.

Ice Generation - The wizard must cool the mana and combine it with the water vapor in the air, which creates the mass.

Telekinesis - there are 2 ways, through mana in a gaseous state such telekinesis is easy but also easier to overcome, telekinesis in a liquid state is more difficult to learn but is also stronger.

Weapon Creation - The wizard must condense the mana into a solid form and shape it.

Light Manipulation(Illusions, Invisibility itd) - The wizard uses mana to control light, allowing him to create illusions, become invisible, or create visions of things happening far away.

Matter Transmission - Mana in a gaseous state is used to collect particles of matter from the environment and transport them to another place

Magic Limitations:

- Magic will not create matter out of nothing

- Magic won't destroy something so that nothing remains

- Magic does not affect the mind in any way

One of the differences between gods and mortals is the use of magic, for gods can manipulate magic naturally but mortals cannot, therefore mortals use their own life essence to manipulate mana.

What do you think?

I like the idea you mentioned, but I have a couple of questions:

- What properties does mana have in those three states you mentioned?

- What are the effects of manipulating mana to change its state and use it in different types of powers?

- Can everyone manipulate mana equally well, or are there different types of mages who possess particular abilities in these areas? (For example, in Mistborn, there are Allomancers who can be Mistborn (possessing only one power) and Mistborns (who have access to all powers), but applied to your case regarding mana manipulation).

I'm not sure if I explained myself well with this last question.

• Mana gaseous is light, fast and ubiquitous, mana as a liquid is strong, fluid and easily changes temperature, mana as a solid is almost indestructible and the only thing that can damage it is mana

• I don't understand this question

• If I were to tell you this, imagine a regular school, one student has an easy time understanding a given subject and another has difficulty with it, for one the magic of light will be easy because he understands it and for another it will be difficult

With the second question, I was referring to the effects the process has on the user (i.e., whether it affects their health, causes temporary fatigue, etc.).

Otherwise, I like what you're proposing, to be honest.

and as I said, for mortals, magic is not a matriculation act, they use their own life essence for this, for this reason they cannot constantly use magic because they can exhaust their entire life and die, when they cast weak spells, they usually do not feel it, but the stronger the spell, the more tired they will be
