Vases and Vessels
An essay on magic theory by: Dime Price
As a child I was read many stories new and old. Stories covered in dust and bound in leather I was taught young that blood had power and it rested in who you trusted it to and who your family is. I also heard the phrase Blood is thicker than water but you'll remember more times where water has been there for you when you are losing blood.
I think that is where the real base of power is. To my knowledge an unhindered body can freely absorb the energy around them. We are vases filled with what we grow and cultivate. We are just vassals for what you call Mana. We must fill ourselves to the brim and before we spill over it is time to a bigger and greater vessel.
It takes heat, stress, and concetrated fingers to craft a fine vase. To adjust and make a greater vase from the original it is not but a process repeated and brought in with more fine ingredients to create yet a bigger vase. This is how we treat our vassels. Now those vassels must be filled just the same as the vases. We fill them with life and keeps them filled so they serve their purpose. Our life holds onto what we must in order to continue living. The bigger we are, the more we need to fill our purpose. But this reserve is still not ours.
Yes, the real base of power we recieve it from the very earth, wind, and sky that we travel on. My theory is we absorb this magic from our surroundings.
It is plain to see this and all of this information has been known for many years. However before our first fall of man it was believed that all magic had been depleted from this earth. So why all of the sudden do we have this new surge of power?
Magic, Mana, Qi, Chi, Energy... All of it from the great wars has been returned with the lives lost and the energy expelled fighting. The over abundance of energy and the scientific result of nuclear growth. We are but ever absorbant vassels. But we do not fill it with a torrent of energy, we fill it like a faucet from a sink. To further explain; given the example of a well known Qi scar, Cousta Bojour. I believe the fact it takes our Qi away means we are being swept away with a greater tide. But I also believe that if someone held a great enough vessel the energy may funnel into that being just fine. Instead of fighting the rapids it would be like a river joining an ocean. Currently it is just a concentrated source of energy beyond what any vassel might carry.
This is but a theory. The reason why most lesser vassels might not be able to survive but the strong can withstand it's power better.
More so I believe that the Qi scar needs to be filtered before a strong vessal decides to intake such mass. For with the toxic levels infecting the energy it would need not be directly from tap. The land is not beyond help and any hope of the land returning to a safe environment would likely take years of work and study.
As I said before we freely absorb this magic or mana from the earth. I also believe we are away to cleanse the energy into a more pure form.
My biggest theory is we dont use Magic... Magic uses us. It is for us to use and as we use it changes into something new entirely but we are still absorbing and expelling this energy. We are growing and becoming better vessels to further make this world flourish. It is a shame that we use it against each other with war and blood shed, but perhaps it is why we are made.
I would like to fold myself into further study for this theory. Even if it isn't entirely correct I feel I would do well to learn the truth and better my home with my knowledge. Not through bloodshed, not through war, but through truth and innovation. A weapon of knowledge and acceptance is what I believe will save our peace.
