Esophenomalism

Esophenomenon is the the term used to describe the action of activating Onu. There are many but five main core philosophical interpretations of Onu's application, how it came to be, how it's being converted and used, how to harness it, and so on. People who practice, use, and conduct Esophenomnalism on a intermediate level are called Casters. Casters range a wide variety of skills and applications of how they use Esophenomalism. Casters are a minority of the population with the intellect, skill, and time it takes to acquire caster status, Although a minority, casters exponentially gain power up to advanced and metatheoretical levels Casters can easily wipe out fully trained soldiers, leading to a sense of fear from the general populous about casters and the danger risk they pose to society.

## Onu

### Basic Understanding

#### Empirical Interpretation

Onu itself has barely anything scientifically proven due to its unobservable nature, at its most basic form it's theorized to be a form of omni-matter. Onu is not directly observable because it does not interact with the electromagnetic spectrum the only way to observe Onu is through dilations in the air from densely concentrated areas of Onu commonly associated to looking similar to the phenomena heat haze. Onu's origins is one of science biggest questions that remains unknown as there has been no proven way of confirming it, However the most rational theory is that it somehow develops itself in all living organisms as it has been observable in all living things, including Animals, plant life, and bacteria. The way of activating Onu is also unknown but it's theorized to be activated or linked, through neurons, although how it's activated through the power of the mind is still unknown as most casters are not able to concretely describe how they cast. Most usually say along the lines of being able to "Feel" sensations and pull it forth out of themselves in to a casting point.

#### Faithful Interpretation

Onu is a sacred energy blessed to holy casters by the divines. Those who're recognized by the divine are blessed with the gift known as Onu, Onu is the energy drawn from the divine given to humanity. Onu is powered by faith and worship of the divine only becoming stronger and more available the stronger the caster's connection to the divine is.

#### Aristocratic Interpretation

Onu was granted to the nobility and royalty through generational bloodlines. Passed down from generation to generation only those with blood ties to the royal or nobility family are able to call upon the power. Onu is stored within the blood where it regenerates itself and shot out through the onu aura. Onu proficiency is determined by blood families and are set in stone upon birth. Onu is activated in to a corresponding spell determined by the caster's will.

#### Pragmatic Interpretation

Onu as the others call it, it does not matter how its understood, where it came from, and how it works. As long as its viable, reliable, it shall be used and harness for our needs no matter what form it takes with the usage of our own two hands or tools.

#### Pacifistic Interpretation

Onu is the world energy, the balance of the world. With the power of Onu we're able to save lives and bring balance to the natural world order. Onu is naturally obtained through self training and discipline. Onu is only for us to use with high responsibility and with the use of preserving life.

### Onu Aura

Onu Aura is the term used to describe the layer of onu that lays on top of an lifeform. It can be expanded outwards from the user or shrunk and concentrated in to a singular spot. Onu aura expansion requires lots of onu and onu manipulation skill to maintain in midair. The only way to cast Esophenomenon is through the Onu aura. The most common method of casting is used with caster tools such as staves, or wands. The longer the tool is the more damage range the Caster will have, as the farther away an onu projectile is from the casting point it started the more damage drop off the projectile experiences as it burns more Onu to maintain its original structure and shape, Casting is generally easier to do with tools as it acts a stabilizing and supporting brace for onu to be made on as casting Onu without support uses more onu to maintain in midair. It is to be noted that Onu aura is able to envelop the entire user and be able to cast from any point but is generally never done as its generally very inefficient.

### Onu Pool

Everyone has a onu pool caster or non caster, Everyone draws from this pool to manifest onu. The onu pool regenerates Onu over time generally slow but can be sped up with onu cardio training. Onu pools are able to be expanded bigger through endurance training by constantly casting till you reach or near onu deficiency to get the maximum results.

#### Effects of Onu Deficiency

Onu Deficiency is when a user is nearing low reserves of Onu and starts to feel various effects.

Common symptoms

- Nausea

- Sense of off-balance

- Migraines

- Vision blurriness

- Catatonia [Extreme cases]

- Coma [Extreme cases]

- Death [Abundancia Inordinatio]

### Documented Onu Birth Defects

#### Abundancia Inordinatio

Abundancia Inordinatio or commonly shortened down to Abundancia, Is an disorder relating to the retention of an Onu pool. only the 5% are born with this disorder and even fewer live. To keep the newborn from dying of Onu deficiency they must be administered with onu injections, until they're able to produce more onu than they consume. Otherwise eventually it'll become fatal with Onu Deficiency buildup. Those who survive until they're able to produce enough onu for themselves, Usually have the fastest onu production and can cast quite excessively, although it is to be noted that it's very dangerous to overcast for them as it can easily lead to the caster's death.

## Psycho Casting

### Applied Casting

Applied casting is the term used to refer to the application of using tools with Esophenomena, The most common form of casting. Tools are often employed such as staffs to keep the user from harming themselves accidently when casting or during a cast failure. Although majority of the populace believe Casters are immune to their own casts, which cannot be further from the truth as casts damage falloff is relative to how far the caster is from the cast and how much Onu they put in to the cast meaning the damage is at its strongest near the user.

### Palm Casting

Palm casting is the term used to refer the application of Esophenomena from the palm. This method is generally the most dangerous to use of the three methods, mainly because casting phenomena from the hand is dangerous and cause damages to the hand from the phenomena casted. The disregard for tools has led to palm casters having distinctively heavily damaged hands commonly having burns, and scars. Although a advantage of Palm Casting is its easier to pointblank strike people with the Caster's palms, and Palm casters easily gain the initiative due to looking unarmed and not needing to pull out any tools.

### Psycho Casting

Psycho casting is the term used to refer to the application of Esophenomena using a Onu aura field. Psycho casting is the rarest method being only able to be used by Casters with large Onu pools and advanced casting skills. The method is very draining as to apply a Onu aura across a large area is very straining. It is to be noted that Psycho casting is still extremely powerful being able to allow the Caster to cast safely without a tool, Cast behind cover, Cast with a height advantage, and able to even potentially cast behind a opponent if a caster is close enough, not to mention the initiative applications psycho casting allows, as it leaves no visually distinctive indicators you're a Caster.
