《The Paths of Magick》Lore - Magical Energy, Its Aliases and History
Advertisement
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.

Digital Immigrant
This is the story of how James Allen Quick and Sarah Lynn Abernathy died. By 'died', I mean that their hearts stopped, their brains ceased sending electrical impulses, and all other physical functions terminated. Immediately after which, their bodies were placed into an industrial furnace, reduced to ash, and the ash was spread about in one of the last forest reserves in North America. As ash-spreading locations go, this ranked third. First and second places were, of course, a person’s favorite athletic team’s playing field and the sea. Or rather, I should say that this is how the story begins. You see, it’s what came after that is so interesting.
