The state of mana

"Then let us start from the start. Do you know how magic is possible?" Athtar asked after a moment's contemplation. 

"Kind of, I have this mess of an understanding." Eldrian replied, "Somehow, our thoughts are able to guide mana. To influence it. Normally, this requires intense focus and I've come to dub this type of focus as Mageia. In my consciousness and in the magic abyss it even takes on a physical form. Thus I felt that it needed to have a specific classification."

Athtar nodded, that in itself was a good enough understanding. For someone who had reached Tier 1, that is.

"I've also- Maybe that's it! Somehow, I know that emotions can also influence mana, and the influence is far stronger than Mageia. However, using it is dangerous."

"Indeed," Athtar agreed but did not continue, waiting for Eldrian to continue.
