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.

Kingdom of Mallic
The Kingdom of Mallic is a land of magic, border wars, and new frontiers. To the north are the Cold Lands, ruled by cruel isolationist dwarves. They raid for supplies continually. Every effort to remove them has failed. No army that has marched north ever returns. To the south are the vast Jungles of Terror, which are home to barbaric elves. Every elf that is facing their Coming of Age ritual or seeks further status requires the torture and sacrifice of an elf from another tribe, a human, or a dwarf. Their numbers are staggering, causing great fear of them becoming more organized. The Kingdom settled on the west coast of a vast continent between the waring dwarves and elves. It has slowly grown eastward into a land of unexplored and dangerous frontiers. Those forces are always pushing the Kingdom back. Within this Kingdom, a boy seeks to master magic and become a great mage, but others are not so willing to let him rise. What lengths will he have to go to survive?

Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
