Power Scale

Magic: This is a transformed version of Mana drawn in from the environment; mages use rings on their hearts to handle pulling in varying amounts of Mana; the higher the number of circles, the more Mana the mage can handle. Requires gifted individuals with higher sensitivity to mana than normal to manipulate the structure of mana to their will.

Aura/Qi: A refined stored version of Mana, held throughout the body of martial practitioners, typically swordsmen, but can also be used in various other methods, is also known as Qi in the East. Higher-level practitioners need to create vacuums (stars) in their bodies to store more mana to reach a higher level by using high-level techniques to concentrate the aura once they've reached the peak a human can contain in their body.
