Mana Skeleton

is a spell tied to Reinforcement Magic. It is primarily used by those who specialize in stealth operations.
== Description ==
The natural flow of mana in a body is outwards. As one performs magic, reinforces their body, or performs any normal action, excess mana is released outwardly. While flow of mana can be regulated to become cyclical, as is with Mana Skin, it is a very difficult task to reverse the flow of mana in a body. Reversing the flow of mana in a body is destructive if one attempts to use magic, and can cause serious damage to the user and, if not careful, can even cease the user from using magic ever again.
Mana Skeleton is a technique devised by Violet Orca of the Clover Kingdom. Specifically by its former Captain who was the first leader of the Violet Orca following its reorganization into a stealth division. Mana Skeleton takes the principle of reversing mana flow to the highest degree, but simplifies the process by giving the mana a target: the user's bones. Thus, rather than being outright mana flow reversal, it is simply changing the target of mana's natural inclination. While this does not circumvent the effects of mana reversal on the body, it does enable the process to be easier visualized by a fresh learner.
While in a Mana Skeleton state, ordinary magic users will be unable to sense the user's mana. However, the user is also unable to produce magic of any kind in this state. Attempting to use magic while in the Mana Skeleton state will cause significant damage to one's body, both externally and internally, and also cause problems with mana flow within the body, possibly leading to the eradication of a user's magic if they aren't careful.
Mana Skeleton, despite hiding one's mana from sight, is not particularly useful when one's mana has already been sensed by another. This is because, the mana can be sensed retreating within the person. As such, it is a technique that excels in pre-emptively keeping out of a target's sight.
== Trivia ==
*Mana Skeleton can only be used with the explicit permission of the user.
