Mana (Energy)

Mana is the essential source of all energy in The World. It originates from the World Stream and is present within every living being. Every person is born with mana, but only a certain number are able to truly utilize it. Mana manifests itself within the blood of a person and their Mana Circuit, an invisible mana circulatory system that flows through the entire body.
:
==Uses==
*Mana is primarily used to cast spells and abilities. It provides the energy, which is converted into a spell or ability through runes or Magic Circles.
*Vampires require mana to live, they get their name because they obtain it from blood.
==Trees==
The Tree of Genesis and Tree of Exodus are said to be the pillars that connect The World, as a whole, to the Life Stream. 
==Colors==
The "color" of mana usually differs from person to person, but the purity and characteristics of mana differs depending on its color.
*Jewel / Prism = IMMORTAL
*Golden = Light
*Silver = Immortal
*Purple = Noble Color
*Red = Demonic, Fiery etc
*Black = Tainted, Darkened
*Crystaline = Dragon Blood
==See Also==
*Mana Circuit
*Mana Unit
*Thaumaturgy
==Notes==
*measured in units
*Typical person is born with 1 mana circuit constantly producing and using 1 unit of mana.
*a typical mage has 20 extra circuits and that produce 20-30 units each.
*1/2 - 1 unit of mana is needed to just sustain life, but mana circuits wear out over time (causing no mana to be produced i.e. = natural death for living things)
*a mana circuit used to just sustain life will usually last 300 human years, they can be regenerated, or replaced, though how is another matter... (no mortal can do it that is for sure)
*mana circuits can be sealed, preventing a user from casting spells, can also be unsealed as well. (applies to all but the first circuit required for life)
*mythics are comprised of pure mana, thus meaning they are parasitic and cannot take a form of themselves.
*mana circuits can be attained, though methods to do so are usually rigorous, typically they come with birth.
*immortality usually means your mana circuits dont "wear out" and you cant be hurt
*mana "purity" determines what can be done with a unit of mana, (example red purity can caste a fireball equivalent to a blue purity fireball at the cost of 1 unit while the blue would cost 5 units to do the same.)
*
*Dark Creatures require mana to keep a physical form.
*IMMORTALs possess infinite mana as they are always connected to the life stream, this is also the reason they cannot die, also admins/true ancestors have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 mana circuits and can regenerate them instantly
