UNALIGNED MANA (PERSONAL MANA)
Unaligned Mana, also known as Personal Mana, is a unique type of mana intrinsic to Awakened individuals. It serves a variety of purposes, from casting spells to forming complex magical constructs and formations.
DEFINITION
Personal Mana is a subtype of mana naturally produced by Awakened individuals. Unlike environmental mana, it is intimately tied to the individual's essence and life force and is therefore highly responsive to their willpower and emotions.
FORM AND BEHAVIOR
Unaligned Mana is a flux energy, meaning it has no fixed form. When manifested externally without the application of willpower, it naturally converts into Force energy, the default form of thaumaturgical expression.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
The creation of Personal Mana involves several steps within the Mana Circulation System:

1. Intake: Environmental mana is absorbed through the mana channels.
2. Transport: The mana travels through the mana veins to the mana core.
3. Refinement: Inside the mana core, the mana enters a specialized refinement chamber. Here, environmental mana undergoes a biothaumical process—the specifics of which remain poorly understood—to transform into Personal Mana.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS
MANA SIGNATURE
As the name implies, Personal Mana is unique to each individual. This uniqueness arises from a specific wave pattern known as the Mana Signature, akin to a magical fingerprint. This property allows for advanced identification methods and personalized magical applications.
SENSITIVITY TO WILLPOWER
Unaligned Mana is the most sensitive type of mana to the willpower of the individual. Its intimate connection to the Awakened's essence makes it highly susceptible to their thoughts, feelings, and intentions, allowing for seamless manipulation in magical practices.
Unaligned Mana plays a pivotal role in the lives of Awakened, acting as both a source of power and a reflection of their individuality.
