Way Of Chi

The Way of Chi is the method of accessing and controlling the life energy produced by the human body called Chi, that goes largely untapped by most. All people innately possess it in its sealed form and in most cases it only manifests itself in near death situations. Every person's Chi is unique and can have unique properties, however there are eight broad classifications, called paths, which share similar abilities and properties. 
There are eight paths for users chi users, seven common and one rare, one of which they are naturally attuned to and are able to make good use of, the rest can be learned to a very slight degree but never fully mastered. In each of the eight paths there are eight broad types of chi called Gates, seven common and one rare.
The gates of chi affect the abilities of the user, however each user's ability is still unique. "The Way of Chi leads down the Path of Chi, through the Gate of Chi to the Door Of The Soul. Through the Door Of The Soul is the true self is found."
==Abilities==
In its simplest form Chi gives the user the ability to enhance their physical abilities.
* The ability to place a skin level force field around the body to give the user great protection (example found from Force Armor Generation).
* The ability to manipulate the subtle, luminous radiation that surrounds a person or object (example found from Aura Manipulation).
* The power to generate enormous amounts of energy that is capable of crushing or damaging anything and everything in the surrounding areas (example found from Energetic Pressure)
* The ability to shut down a person's brain functions, rendering them unconscious (example found from Neurocognitive Deficit).
==Trivia==
* The chi concept is a combination of several sources of inspiration, as well as a few of my own invention. These sources include:
** Nen.
** Neijing.
** Hexgrams of the I Ching.
* The weakness in the Hyper Intuition unique ability was suggested by 1NF3RNO.
