The Path of Preservation

Created and Written by Khali A. Crawford | Also known as Kami no Hozen no Michi or the Way of Divine Preservation

The Vishnu Drishti, or "Heavenly Path of Preservation," embodies the ultimate mastery of energy conservation and optimization. This Inherited Magical Jutsu grants its wielder unparalleled efficiency in energy use, ensuring that their magical reserves are maintained and continually replenished. By seamlessly blending perfect energy modulation, conversion, and manipulation, the Vishnu Drishti ensures that its user remains an inexhaustible wellspring of magical potential.

• Inheritance Probability: Offspring within the Vishnu Drishti bloodline have a 73% chance of inheriting this Path. Statistically, 7 out of every 10 offspring will awaken the Vishnu Drishti.

Effect

Zero-Point Energy Expenditure

The Vishnu Drishti enables the user to minimize energy loss during spellcasting by modulating their energy with extreme precision. This ability ensures that energy consumption is nearly negligible, adapting dynamically to the demands of the user’s magic.

• Adaptive Scaling: The ability automatically adjusts to the energy requirements of each spell, ensuring that energy expenditure is always optimal.
• Energy Conservation: Regardless of the intensity or frequency of magical use, the user’s energy reserves are preserved above 25% of their total capacity. This safeguard prevents exhaustion or depletion even in prolonged or demanding scenarios.
• Constant Effect: As a Constant Jutsu, this ability is always active and does not consume Magical Energy, functioning as a passive enhancement to the user’s magical efficiency.

This effect transforms the user into a nearly tireless caster, capable of sustaining magical operations that would overwhelm most mages.

Perfect Magical Energy Yield

Unlike conventional mages, who lose energy during the Mana-to-Magical Energy conversion process, the Vishnu Drishti achieves a perfect 100% conversion rate. This ensures that every unit of Mana absorbed by the user is fully transformed into usable Magical Energy.

• Impeccable Efficiency: Every particle of Mana processed by the user’s Mana Cells is converted into Magical Energy without loss, doubling, or tripling their effective reserves compared to other mages.
• Accelerated Recovery: Recovery time for replenishing Magical Energy is halved, enabling the user to regain full power in half the time required by others.
• Constant Effect: This ability is also a Constant Jutsu, providing its benefits continuously without consuming Magical Energy.

This effect not only enhances the user's capacity but also ensures they are battle-ready in minimal time, granting a strategic advantage in any prolonged engagement.

Energy Manipulation

The Vishnu Drishti grants mastery over the fundamental property of energy, allowing the user to manipulate it in all its forms. Energy, as a quantifiable property of systems, can be shaped, transformed, and transferred by the wielder.

• Generation and Control: The user can create energy, mold it into various forms, and direct it with precision, making them a master of energy dynamics.
• Versatility: The wielder can manipulate energy fields, objects, and systems, enabling effects that range from creating constructs to altering environmental conditions.
• Energy Conservation: In alignment with the principles of energy conservation, the user can augment or reduce the energy within a system by transferring it into or out of their domain.

This ability allows the user to harness energy as both a tool and a weapon, giving them near-universal applicability across magical and physical scenarios.

The Avatar of Vishnu

The Avatar of Vishnu is the ultimate manifestation of the Heavenly Path of Preservation. When summoned, it establishes a closed energy system with the summoner, providing an infinite and inexhaustible reservoir of Magical Energy.

• Infinite Energy Supply: The Avatar collects and recycles the summoner’s expended Magical Energy, replenishing it instantly. This creates a feedback loop that renders the summoner’s energy reserves effectively unlimited.
• Nullification Immunity: In environments where magic is suppressed or nullified, the Avatar sustains the summoner by generating magical power independently, bypassing external restrictions.
• Artificial Reservoir: The Avatar functions as a separate energy source, ensuring the summoner’s magic is unaffected by external disruptions.

The summoning of the Avatar of Vishnu transforms the summoner into a perpetual force of magic, capable of sustaining the most demanding spells and techniques indefinitely.

Side/Secondary Effects

• Reliance on Avatar: While the Avatar of Vishnu provides unlimited energy, its summoning requires focus and energy to sustain, creating potential vulnerabilities during intense combat.
• Energy Intensity: Prolonged use of high-energy spells, even with conservation, may require strategic pacing to avoid over-reliance on the Avatar.
• Skill Dependency: Mastering energy manipulation and efficient energy use requires significant training and discipline.

Manifestation

Source

Magic is born from the fusion of two essential energies: Mana and Natural Energy. Mana, a raw form of energy from the 5th Dimension, is mixed with Natural Energy, a passive energy emitted by all beings. When a mage channels Mana through their Mana Cells, it is refined by blending with Natural Energy, making it usable for beings in the lower dimensions. This refined energy, known simply as Magic, is the core substance from which all magical techniques are crafted. Every mage’s magic is unique, shaped by their individual experiences, bloodline, and Dharma. Over generations, as members of a family or bloodline repeatedly practice magic in harmony with their Dharma, they develop an Inherited Magical Jutsu. The source of these techniques lies in the bloodline itself, creating a cyclical relationship where the bloodline and the Jutsu evolve together. If a bloodline ceases to produce Dharmic Mages, the technique may eventually fade away, while an influx of Dharmic Mages strengthens and refines the inherited power.

Discovery

The Path of Preservation was inherited from Emperor Lallo-Arthwydron by Prince Araredin of the House of Ryah. Araredin sharpened the Vishnu IMT to perfection, never ceasing to explore the depths of his power and push new techniques to their limits. He was a warrior, like his father, and served as the Emperor's advisor. He founded the Kshatriya Varma, the class of elite Knights who came to be the standard for all his men to follow. King Araredin founded the Arareid Gen which ruled his Kingdom. Araredin’s kingdom became a bastion of military might, with his descendants continuing to train the Empire’s greatest warriors. His contributions fortified the Ryah Empire's military infrastructure, ensuring its sustainability and invincibility in prolonged campaigns.

Effect Duration

The Vishnu Drishti’s core abilities—Zero-Point Energy Expenditure and Perfect Magical Energy Yield—are passive and constant, remaining active at all times without requiring activation or additional energy.

Effect Casting Time

Basic energy manipulations are instantaneous, while summoning the Avatar of Vishnu requires a few seconds to establish the closed energy system. The precise time depends on the user’s skill and energy reserves.

Range

Energy manipulation and preservation apply to the user’s immediate environment, typically extending up to a radius of several meters. The Avatar of Vishnu operates within the summoner’s domain but enhances Magical Energy globally for the summoner.
