The Magic Seal

Tags: #NoSystem #NoRomance #Fast-paced #Face-slapping #WeakToStrong #SuperheroXcultivation Excerpt: Born with an incredible affinity for spiritual energy, Wu Bao was given a Dragon Sealing Talisman in the hopes that it could harness the energy. Unfortunately, the seal was too strong and locked his powers away. As he grew up, he was bullied by his peers, mistreated by his teachers, and forgotten by society. The only one who cared was his mother, who taught him the value of being weak. One day, during the same awakening process that everyone experiences after puberty, Wu Bao finally filled the Dragon Sealing Talisman, unlocking unfathomable power. Author’s Note: The cover art is just a troll XD UwU lol. I created it myself! I wanted to read a story with an MC who had a power-stealing power, similar to Bloodline System. However, I wanted it to also progress fast, like Infinite Mana in the Apocalypse, while also exploring the societal issues of a xianxia style world (which ended up feeling a lot like Unordinary). There are no stories like this, so I wrote one. I was also doing some research on eastern style magic and had inspiration for the sealing system. As a tribute to eastern culture, I used Chinese names even though I’m a native English speaker.

The Sealing System:

Imagine there is a cup made of clay and filled with water. The water is spiritual energy and the clay is the container.

There are a few rules governed by the magic system.

1. The amount of clay increases slowly with age.

2. The water inside the cup can only be replenished with rain from the sky

3. The amount of clay and rain is temporarily increased at birth and at puberty during the awakening.

4. Applying a seal is like taking clay from the cup and forming a smaller cup. However, in order to use the seal, water must be poured into it from the main cup such that the smaller one overflows.

5. All smaller cups must be full of water to be used, and overflowing to be fully realized.

6. Only the main cup can be filled by rainwater.

Using these rules, everything regarding human magic is set in place.

Wu Bao' Dragon Sealing Talisman is special because it can steal the clay of others and pour it's own energy into those seals to fill them up. The act leaves it empty, which is why it must be refilled by the energy in Wu Bao's main cup.

It is bad to apply a seal that is too strong. It would be like taking all the clay from the main cup to create the smaller cup. Since smaller cups can't fill themselves with rainwater, the resulting cup might be too empty to be used. The best seal application let's the water slightly overflow.

One thing that sometimes happens is that seals can be broken. This can be because of a seal breaker, or the amount of water washes them away. There is a small risk during an 18 year old's awakening for them to accidentally break all their previous seals. Because of the third law, clay and rain is temporarily increased. After the awakening is over, the excess rain and clay tumbles away. Large amounts of post-awakening drainage can break old seals. This is why the characters sometimes express concern.
