Mind intro

Mind. Mind is the act of conjuring magic, via an intellectual process of understanding the Flow, the thing you need from it, and manipulating the necessary variables to achieve it. A fireball spell needs you to select parts of Flow with the sufficiently volatile energy, attracting it, and shaping it into fire. After some training, this process becomes nigh automatic for simpler spells. Harder spells require ritualistic preparation though and are not as quick to cast.

Mind has two fundamental concepts, besides waste value and reduction value, these being mana and focus.

Mana is the Flow, directed from your soul, or from the environment which can be used to cast spells. Mana increases a spells potency, effect, manifestation as well as longevity.

Focus is the mental effort, the concentration to control the spell, and to manipulate the Flow and Mana. Flow makes spells more refined, easier to control and move around, easier to modify and more quickly manifested.

Generally, a spell which leans more on mana is stronger, yet less refined. Brutal, and rarely utility, destructive mostly, or even restorative, but without finesse.

A focus spell is more controlled, confined and aesthetically pleasing, but less potent and without great effort and skill, also considerably less effective.
