《How to Survive a Summoning 101》All Things Sangraal
Advertisement
So, recently How To Survive a Summoning 101 crossed a few milestones, like 500 follows, 50 ratings, 2800 views. When I started out, I never imagined that I would get so much love and affection. You guys/girls/doges are the best!
I have always been asking reviews/ratings as an author. So, that got me thinking, what can I do for you guys in return? Here is the answer. All the oddball things mentioned in HTSAS101 and what they actually mean. I hope you will find this guide useful. However, it is updated only till Chapter 13
Almost all of the terms here have been created specifically for the fiction, so it's from no known language. So, in essence, there is a lot less Japanese you people thought there was.
Dressir, my good Torrs and Sins. Myself Trompine Salperian, a poet and scribe who hangs around the Suppressor Guild in Salrest, hoping to get some work. You see, I have been kidnapped…nay, persuaded by a scary man with a big sword and a beautiful Elven woman…Aaah, how I wish to be wrapped around those thighs…Sorry, Sorry, I digress. They wanted me to sift through their story and present to the readers a few things that will come in handy. Here I will talk about the monsters, food, plants, swearwords, and even the system of nobility and magic that has come up till chapter13 for a better and more comprehensive comprehension.
Welcome one, welcome all, to:

where they have not been permitted. Has their own sets of rules in addition to the laws of the place each chapter of the Guild is situated in.Salperian Note: Only way to survive these people is to run as fast as you can, as far as you can.

Core Colour GradesExplanation: Monsters take AP from environment and use it like any other living thing in Sangraal. However, unlike human or some other races, they do not use their body just as a conduit
to channel AP. Their Magic Circuits have evolved to store AP in their hearts, like a battery. They can't directly use the AP from environment to create magic. They first need to store it inside
their heart. However, this AP deposits as extremely condensed 'flakes' inside and around the circuit on their hearts. If they do not use the AP from time to time, the flakes will aggregate into
a magic core and ulimately claim the whole heart, killing the monster. Some Monsterologists say this is one of the many reasons that monsters fight each other or humans when they can't
scatter the AP by themselves. However, the progress of acculmulation of flakes is usually much for than diffusion, so each monster, unless killed by unnatural cause, ultimately succumb to it
and die.
Each monster, depending on how long it has lived and its innate capacity to reservoir AP, has a different coloured Magic Cores in them. This is because as more AP accumulates, the Cores
condense even more and change colour. The more a monster has lived, the more valuable its Core is.Core Grading(Values in Ascending order, top to bottom)ColourValueWhiteNil.
