Iserial Energy

Iserial Energy is a fundamental type of energy found to some extent within all worlds of Minayero, as well as the River of Dreams. It is the foundation for Iserialogy, which allows entities of any kind to consciously and/or subconsciously manipulate their surroundings. The amount of Iserial Energy available can vary wildly between worlds, with Open Worlds usually being rich in Iserial Energy, and Sealed Worlds usually having little Iserial Energy other than Primary Iserial Energy.

## Grades of Iserial Energy

Like Iserialogy, Iserial Energy can be subdivided into four grades, which are used to cast Iserialogies of the respective grade. The grade of Iserial Energy is directly determined by how it is generated.

### Primary Iserial Energy

Interaction within a world, e.g. between individual entities, creates small amounts of primary Iserial Energy. This is also the only kind of Iserial Energy that’s present in abundance in Sealed Worlds. In Open Worlds, primary Iserial Energy takes up about 15% of its Iserial-Energy-Distribution (IED). Primary Iserial energy is world-bound, and cannot pass into the River of Dreams, thus making its share of the River of Dreams' IED close to 0%.

### Secondary Iserial Energy

Interaction of a world with the River of Dreams creates Secondary Iserial Energy. Sealed Worlds create a small supply of Secondary Iserial Energy as well, but it falls short of the amount an Open World produces by a factor between 100 and 1000. Secondary Iserial Energy is the main type of Iserial Energy within Minayero and takes up an average of 50% of an Open World’s IED, and about 45% of the River of Dreams’.

### Quaternary Iserial Energy

Quaternary Iserial Energy is the most enigmatic of all. Since only deities and The Ancient can use it without fear of annihilation, large scale experiments are practically impossible. However, the Ailrokykli Archives seem to attest to an unusually high density of Quaternary Iserial Energy within Sealed Worlds, which suggests that Quaternary Iserial Energy is much like Primary Iserial Energy, except for the fact that it is not subject to being consumed by mortals. Religious factions throughout Minayero agree almost unanimously that Quaternary Iserial Energy is created as a result of the people’s prayers, hopes, and wishes. As most religious statements, this could not yet be proved right or wrong, and probably never will be. The share of Quaternary Iserial Energy in the IED of a world averages at 5%. However, it is worth being noted that its share of the River of Dreams’ IED is significantly higher, namely 25%. Along with the fact of abundant Quaternary Iserial Energy within Sealed Worlds this suggests that it behaves much the opposite of Primary Iserial Energy, and instead of sticking to a world tends to flow out and gather within the River of Dreams.

## Ambient Iserial Energy and Sanctuaries

Normally, Iserial Energy is freely available in all worlds, with all grades of Iserialogy having a roughly equal density all over the worlds. However, Iserial Energy tends to gravitate towards places that support life, such as planets.

Furthermore, the elements of Secondary Iserial Energy are not at all equally distributed. Rather, the different elements gather at places that reflect their respective attributes. For example, Kekeyro gathers near oceans, lakes and rivers, Ekyro is strongest in caves, Haerinero is dominant at night and in dark places, and so on.

Also, within any given world, Sanctuaries may exist. These places are marked by the fact that they are completely devoid of one or more types of Iserial Energy. Sanctuaries come in many different forms, and may be both ephemeral or permanent.
