“Speech is silver, silence is golden” – the rule that the ancients abided by. Since the conjuration of mana comes from within, the visualization and formation are linked to the senses. Tied with the learning types of an individual are the conjuration types of their mana. But, even if someone has quick learning, the expression skills bottleneck their mana conjuration – the combination of sight, hearing, feel, speech, and strength.

In the earlier days of mana, one significant kingdom reigned in the middle of the world. Unfortunately, like every great kingdom, their existence was destroyed by a coalition – the modern nations. Derived from the ancient, the languages of every modern kingdom are now unrecognizable to one another. Records from the ancients show the process of early mana manipulation – involving speech and intricate lines. Yet, now that the languages of modern strayed away from perfection, the only way to conjure mana is through feeling – the only thing that has not been changed over the years.

The closest of the modern languages, the Chants of 3, are bound to material creation and not a generalized tool. One of the most well-known, the Chinese script has its merits like being too intricate and too specific to be used as a median. But, the only one after the collapse of the great, the 3 Ring Chant, has almost no downsides other than being very unique and only bound to material creation. But, tied to its specialized use, a crime syndicate was born, named the Carnation Family, the most prominent arms dealer in the world. Due to the essence of the 3 Ring Chant, they engrave their made weapons with such seals, activating to be used as a last ditch weapons.

The ones who have the least, tend to use their innate talents to the fullest. As such, the modern median, Picture Coding, became the norm for mana conjuration, despite being the weakest of the ways of manipulation. Although not the strongest, or the most consistent, it has the easiest learning curb of any of the styles, even being easier than the Written Engraving. Now, that the world has evolved around nonverbal means of power, the other styles have almost ceased to exist – only being held alive by a select few individuals.

But it only applies to humans. As human mana proficiency expanded and will of the users strengthened, other, less intelligent, species evolved human like intelligence as well as inheriting their innate ability of manipulating mana. They are called the Mythos Sapiens, or the Legendary Intellectuals, as they manifest far beyond what humans could ever achieve. Although they are powerful, they are not almighty; they are defeated time and time again by the inferior race – humans. The link between the mana and the being is closer to the Mythos Sapiens than of humans but they make up for it with the link of familiar – the indomitable human spirit and camaraderie when facing other races.
