Excerpt from Magical Energy, Its Aliases and History by Elijah Sar' Vek
Original names for magical energy in each major country of Kyro:
• Stros' T'sun: Vala
• Vitae: Animus
• Qyrazael: Chakra
• Cyros: Mana
• Caedo' Maar: Barakra
• Kedwen: Spirit
• Erastes: Numen
• Valencia: Quintessence
• Florencia: Élan Vital
• The Qi Empire: Qi
• Richuenese Empire: Reiki
Many places have now adopted the name magicka for magical energy due to the Order's growing involvement with other countries outside of Vitae.
The term for magical energy changed in Vitaen influenced countries due to the rising of the Order of Mages; an organization that was started to protect the use of magic and its users after the Crusades, a holy war where non-sanctioned magic was outlawed and any practitioners were hunted in the Vitaen Empire and its colonies.
Vitae, the heartland of the Vitaen Empire, started wars with Qyrazael, Cyros, and Caedo' Maar.
The name for magical energy was changed in many a country to remove its religious connotations to prevent anything like the Crusades from happening again. Yet again, the name has shifted from magicka to mana. It is easier to write and uses less ink. The name magicka is still used in official texts and documents, but the term mana is used more in teaching and day-to-day magic. The name mana itself comes from the origins of magic - Shamanism. Early human ancestors called magical energy "mana" or power that is divine in origin.

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.

Ether mage
Everyone is born with mana. Some people are born with more. Some are born with less. If they practice enough, they can improve those numbers, but if you don't even have enough to practice with, there isn't much you can do. Everyone is also born with ether. It is useful, but can't power any spells by itself. It only gives them shape. You don't normally need much ether. It is nice to be able to summon swords out of thin air, but not really that useful ability in a peaceful country, where enchanted items are so cheap. For people born with bigger ether pool, there isn't much to do except double their efforts to get more mana. Or reach out for a forbidden power...
