Pufferism

Pufferism is an animist religion which was created on the Nataur Isles far before the arrival of the Rathniri and Eldhamites. The main followers of the religion are the people of Natauria and Kakashi, although there are a small amount of people who are believed to follow the religion across Abexilas.

=== Mana ===
In Pufferism, there is a substance called mana. Mana is both a karma system and magic system. The more mana you have, the better your life will be and the less likely you will go to the underworld, and you will gain magical power too.
Mana can be gained by worshiping Puffer through sacrificing properly and killing fish properly, keeping a daily pufferfish-eating streak and swimming. Mana can also be removed by blaspheming Puffer and by losing your puffer-eating streak, sacrificing pufferfish in any way, throwing away pufferfish rather than eating them and refusing to eat pufferfish.

=== Water sacrifice ===
To conduct a Water sacrifice, a minimum 1x1x7 hole is dug into the ground and filled to the top with water. It can likewise be performed in the in the ocean. The believer making the sacrifice grabs any type of fish other than pufferfish, sea grass, custom plugin fish or any type of underwater flora to throw into the water. The more valuable the fish or material is, the more mana is believed to be gained through the sacrifice. Throwing a puffer into the fire or water, it is said that one's mana will invert and Puffer will strike the transgressing performer down into the furthest pits of the underworld.
=== Fire sacrifice ===
Fire sacrifices are conducted by diggin a minimum 1x1x2 hole which is filled with netherrack at the bottom. Flint and steel is used to light all the netherrack n fire. Subsequently, the sacrifice is performed by throwing any nether material like gunpowder, netherite scraps, netherrack, quaz or nether stars, into the fire. The value of the items sacrificed corresponds to the mana gained by conducting the ritual.
=== Proper fish killing ===
In order to kill a fish properly, believers require a green gem blade, a single fish, a table of some sort and rain or a water bucket. First, the faithful throw the fish onto the table. Next, they loudly exclaim "Puffer, I am killing this fish for its meat, not to disrespect you. Please spare myself from being struck into the fiery pits of the underworld, and allow me to remain in the overworld for the rest of my days." Subsequently, the water buccket and green gem blade are thrown onto the fish. After the ritual, the believer is allowed to eat, cook or otherwise process the fish. The ritual can be repeated an indefinite number of times, although only a single fish can be thrown onto the table at a time.
