Information and Power System

There might be some slight spoilers so skip this if you don't want to be spoiled.

Mana: Mana is the energy every living being processes. It had no physical properties unless willed by a living being. Mana has always existed in this world. Mana is produced by the soul. Mana is the fuel for all the phenomena in this world. Mana can only be moved by the will of a living being. Retz is unit of mana measurement.

Souls: Every living being has a soul. The soul is comprised of two parts, power and will. The power is the mana that the soul produces and the will is the sentience a being has. The more sentience a being has, the stronger their will is. The more mana a being has, the more power the soul has.

Mana Properties: Mana has different properties and the one a person specialises in depends on the individual.

Oscillation: The power to increase the cutting/penetrating power of an object.

Reinforcement: The power to increase the hardness and toughness of an object.

Enhancement: The power to increase the capabilities of an object.

Restoration: The power to increase the regeneration of an object. Its true ability is to restore something to its most stable or optimal state.

Construction: The power to form mana into solidified objects that have any properties the user wishes for.

Facilitation: The power to synchronise your mana with your target. You must be born with this ability to use it.

Contamination: The power to corrode the quality and quantity of mana of an object. Powerful users of this can transform their mana into poisons.

These are the mana properties that any person can have. Everyone has talent in reinforcement and enhancement properties though it's rare for people to have talent in other properties.

Mana Attribute: The attributes any one individual may have. It's self-explanatory. More may be added later. For the solid, liquid and gas attributes, the less complex a substance is to create, the less mana is required. Also if you have a familiarity with substance, it will require less mana. Anything created with mana isn't 'real' per se. It only exists for as long as you supply mana.

For example: Creating an Iron shield takes less mana than a Steel Shield as iron has only 1 element, but steel has 2. However, water is easier to create than mercury because even though water is composed of two elements, we are extremely familiar with water.

Computational ability: This is how fast a person can move mana. The more complex a technique a person wants to do, the more computational power it requires.

For example, enhancing your body requires little computational power, but creating weapons from water takes greater computational power. It's basically the thinking ability of a person.

Techniques: Techniques are moves that be used with mana. It may require a combination of different attributes and properties to use. The more complex a technique is, the more computational ability it requires.

Examples:

{Mana Slice} is a technique that requires the oscillating mana quality to use but requires little computational ability. It allows the user to shoot a wave of mana to cuts through objects.

{Body Enhancement} is a technique that requires both enhancement and reinforcement mana qualities (which everyone has) to enhance the physical capabilities of someone. It requires basically no computational ability.

However, {Burst Step} which also uses enhancement and reinforcement mana qualities, requires greater computational ability as it requires concentrate mana at your feet, temporarily exceeding your maximum to bridge a short gap instantly.

Maximum: The more mana the technique used, the stronger the technique is. This is works on a linear scale. (E.g. Using 3R enhances your strength by 50%, but using 6R increases your strength by 100%)

However, at a certain point, you suffer from diminishing returns. This point is known as the maximum. At this point, increasing the power of the technique requires exponentially more mana. This is most common in {Body Enhancement}.

Rulers Haki: Ruler's Haki is a variant of low energy mana they has no tangible effect on reality. It is only exclusively used for living beings to communicate with each.

Ruler's Haki is uneffeced by any sorts of barriers and shows the superiority of certain opponents.

For humans, Ruler's Haki can only be obtained with they undergo their evolution and become A rank.

Concepts: Concepts are something that all S ranks have. They have either evolved their current attribute or created a new attribute that is a higher level. Concepts are wide and varied with many different abilities.
