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

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.

Cycles of Power
Riva is a sapient dungeon trying to survive and discover where she came from. But no one exists in isolation. Will Riva be able to survive the adventurers and intrigue to come? Who is this human in her visions? Will Riva ever reclaim her past and secure a future?... Thousands of years ago wild dungeons appeared out of nowhere and conquered the world. Armies could not hold back the infinite hordes of spawned monsters. The sapient races barely eked out survival in the corners of the world. Only the infighting between the savage dungeons allowed the sentient races to outlive these dark ages. Out of this struggle, adventurers were forged. By conquering weaker dungeons, adventurers discovered how to capture life energy to perform great feats of strength and create magic. Now, as adventurers pushed back dungeons, population boomed again. But with rising numbers comes new factions, greed, and war. Caught among these powerhouses lies Riva. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ On hiatus for the foreseeable future.

He will do what he wants: he will not shy from using cheap tricks if it leads to a situation favourable to him. He will not save a damsel in distress if he doesn't want to, even if it is as easy as lifting a finger. He may even cause the distress himself if he finds it amusing. He may reward those who please him, while trampling those who are annoying. But the man's life, by no means, will be easy. He shall be OP, but it will not be enough, for some things just cannot be controlled. Warning: Gore, profanity, explicit sexual content. =========================================== I have taken the image from some article. If the owner would like me to take it down, can please let me know.
