These are people who gain knowledge of

other worlds. The memories tend to be more striking the more

prominent or influential the person was. These are most commonly

transmitted through sleeping. This will grant no special benefit to the

user and in some cases, the person may get such a weak impression that

they may not know they are awakened. In some rare cases, a person

can be an esper and an awakened or in bad cases, you can awaken the

memories of an esper that may be useless. These memories only come

from deceased individuals and no known instance of someone awakening

a living being's memories has been recorded. Further research will need to be completed

on these fields.  

These are humans are similar to

monsters in how they utilize mana. These humans usually have defects

or changes to their magic stones or organs. If it is on the magic

stone they tend to evolve their abilities through increasing the

purity of their mana and increasing the size or purity of their magic

stone. There have been lots of studies on espers over the centuries

but nothing conclusive has been drawn. I believe it may be a form of

evolution as they tend to pass genetically. Directly damaging the

magic stone of the wielder will cause their ability to become

unusable, and in some cases, if the stone is too small to support the

ability it will be unusable at formation. If the stone is extracted

from the individual limited use is possible just like with any

monster's magic stone, however, it is very weakened and fragile and

cannot stand prolonged use.

This was commonly used as proof of

religion in undeveloped worlds. I believe that this is using

keywords to tap into a separate dimension, and calling on powers from

that world. This requires faith that the otherworldly being will

answer you and mana. In my experiments I discovered these beings seem

to have very limited intelligence and I believe the words may be the

names of these beings similar to how demons can be summoned if you

know their true name. The reason this requires such devotion is that

these beings seem to have no concept of a material world and only

understand mana. They also seem to only understand emotion and have

no will, I also discovered that if you call on these beings as a

collective group they become easier to call to perform a certain

action, almost like conditioning. I believe these may be very similar

to the spirits described by some demi-humans. These beings can

perform a wider variety of actions than can be imagined, I believe

they exist as mana in a dimension similar to the void. Instead of sacrificing mana to them, I believe it is more of them guiding it for

you using the image provided. The mana cost seems to be higher for

invoking than casting but the benefit is that it is easier and a bit

quicker. I would equate the experience as having a very fat dog with

very short legs, and he is very lazy. You can not touch this dog,

but you need to get him to walk. So you must urge him, and make even

him believe he can do it, using only your voice and feelings. This

is the only sensible way I have found to rationalize this, and I

believe what is most important is to find a spirit you have the best

comparability.

A user of magic channels magic directly

using their body as a conduit. They use chants and gestures to create

a mana flow to create a phenomena, they call this spell casting. I

have come to the conclusion that it is using the vibration of voice

and hand signs to cause changes in mana, basically hand signs to

mimic the patterns that we found in nature and in evolution. This can

be removed using magic circles to cast however knowledge of the

pattern is needed and clear focus. They tend to be rather pompous and

obsessed with taking their secrets to their grave at all cost, as a

result the passage of information is flawed and in some cases lost

entirely. The manifestation of their mana is called spells and

originated from watching the unique usage of esper abilities and

monster abilities and is a process of learning and researching the

usage and manipulation of magic for oneself. The body must be the

best conduit for mana and mana must be able to flow freely. This

means most mages are like desk workers who rarely exercise.  

[Excerpt  from research log titled Mana by Machine Lord]

 Mana is an anti-entropic force with

it's own unique various phenomena similar to strong force as it is

even capable of mirroring it. As it has similar properties to the 4

known forces, I will conclude it is all of them while none of them. I

do not believe that mana is a natural force of our world and more of

an invader or rather a leak. Similar to water it seeks equilibrium

with itself and is unaffected by the fundamental forces. The one

thing that does affect mana is mass similar to gravity however it is

unaffected by gravity itself. It also is most attracted to living

beings. Without mana you don't have magic, just like you would not

have electricity without electrons.

The most unique feature of mana is the

evolution it invokes in living creatures. Magic stones are the most

common feature of this evolution. These tend to act as an organ for

storing mana, and like humans they come in quite a wide variety and

can be used in many unique ways. The most drastic are caused to

non-sentient species as they are capable of evolving much more

quickly. The abyss is a prime example: it is an empty dimension

filled with massive amounts of mana that can literally break apart

the matter into nothing. The lifeforms that exist in the void are all

incredibly tenacious and tend to have fascinating methods of

evolution compared to terrestrial lifeforms. I believe it may be the

source of mana.  

Martial force is using mana to temper

the body basically causing it to become stronger. Different ways of

utilizing mana through the body are called skills. To utilize skills

requires tempering or having tempered parts of the body. Most people

chose muscles as it is the safest followed by bones and tendons.

Organs tend to be the most dangerous to temper and are often not as a

result unless they practice certain skills. I believe this practice

was evolved from monsters but as humans are genetically not well

designed for this to begin with the ability to cast magic outside of

the body becomes more difficult the longer it it practiced however

workarounds have been developed for this using weapons or artifacts

to cast out power they can infuse on weapons. These people are

masochistic meat heads, tempering the body is very painful and slow.

This is a process or ritual is some

cases to take on traits or characteristics of another race or

creature usually through using blood as the most common conduit. It

often has dramatic effects on the individual and most countries

require them to register and are treated as dangerous second-class

citizens. This process changes the very genetic makeup of the

individual and can have drastic changes on personality and mood.

Blood mixing is a gradual process and takes time and nutrition rich

in mana to grow, time can be directly supplemented with mana. This

process is changing humans onto the monsters evolution path

completely. No known precedent of an unwilling recipient of a blood

mixing was ever known, so I made some. I found that a bodies mana

acts as a second immune system and the blood acts as an infection and

requires the mana to either allow it to pass, or you just induce

death and the problem solves itself. The first one I made was an

artificial lifeform that acted as a parasite on the corpse and killed

other beings to spread. It was a special kind of spiritual life form

I created from a demon called soul fire, and spread it through

infecting the body through wounds and once the victim died they

became a carrier. This is not to be mistaken for undead, which where

another race entirely, as mine could even infect undead. Proving my

form of Undeath was superior.
