Ki

One of the three main energies of World Energy, Ki is the energy of the body. With Ki people, monsters, places and objects can become stronger, faster, and can bring about internal representations of their affinity. A person with fire Ki can become hot and fire resistant, a person with regeneration Ki can repair injuries as fast as their energy lasts. Ki is measured in three ways: strength, agility, and constitution. Strength measures how powerful and how resistant to damage a being place or thing is. Agility measures the speed, reaction time and accuracy a being, place or thing is. Constitution is a measurement of the amount of Ki the being possesses.

Manifestation

Ki is the energy of the body, and its pool is housed in a beings heart space, the entrance of which is in their chest. It is first visualized as a gas that floats around the heart space, and the user must empty their ki and process new ki from similar affinity world energy. Refilling the heart space makes the heart space empty, and refilling to maximum capacity will cause the outer bounds to stretch and thus the constitution larger. The constitution will continue to grow until the heart space is as large as the person can make it (growing the heart space is uncomfortable or painful based on how much it is stretching each time, so the limit of the persons storage is based on how much pain and unease they can go through). The person then begins compressing the heart space, turning the gaseous ki into liquid. Again they must empty, refill, grow and consolidate liquid ki until they get to solid, and then solid until they get to crystallization (the heart space size resets when it undergoes consolidation, but the amount it can hold does not change pre and post consolidation, thus the more the being has before they go to the next stage, the firmer the foundation for their future). They then have to consolidate their solid ki into a crystalline structure around a representation of their affinity. The final and longest step is to encompass all that the affinity is in the representation in the core.

Localization

Ki is in all beings with a body, and some objects and places. Objects become charged with Ki when the image of the affinity represented by the object is internal or physical in nature. The same with objects, places can be charged with ki based on an internal image. If enough Ki is collected by this image, then the area can become a "Ki dungeon" and attract Ki based monsters and phenomina. Ki dungeons can be benificial or malicious in nature, all based on what the image was based on. A forest that seem to come back no matter the damage done to it, for example, can generate regeneration Ki and eventually become a regeneration Ki dungeon. This can be benificial or malicious based on what the forest had to regenerate from. An example of another ki dungeon would be a dump, as it is a physical manefestation of waste, pollution and poison.
