Energetic basics

With a deep breath, Krobat thrust his right leg forward. A sweeping twist of his left leg followed before he lowered himself to his core and assumed the fighting stance Arwin had taught him. His right hand followed the lead of the corresponding leg and stretched far forward, fingers splayed as if to grasp something. His mouth opened wide as he took a deep breath, then another and another, each time a little deeper. His hand slid gently through the air as if it were moving evenly with every single breath of wind.
After what felt like an eternity, his mind began to open up. It still took him far too long, but now he felt it. Like a tingling sensation, something new mingled between the gentle glide of wind on his skin. With each muscle contraction, the sensation grew more intense until the tingling felt almost like a wave through which his fingers slid, free energy surrounding him. With a jerky motion, he jerked his hand back and peered at his fingertips from wide-open eyes.
There it was! Only very briefly, before it was carried away again by the first gust of wind, but for the tiniest hint of a second he had been able to see it, the greenish glow of life energy that he had plucked from the air itself.

For almost all types of energy, some basic rules can be stated. These rules consider individual properties of various energies, which mostly apply to all of them, with only isolated exceptions. If an energy has a special own structure or similar, this is listed and explained in the respective article.

1. Bound energy

Basically, energy can be in two states, free energy or bound energy. Bound energy describes the natural state of most forces. Energy and physical matter are coupled in a 50/50 ratio and thus result in a full-fledged existence. This relationship exists in such a way however only on the central level of the Astraverse. On this level, however, this describes an ideal state. Without energy, matter would instantly decay and be destroyed, and without a physical body for binding, energy would initially enter the state of free energy. Some energy, however, especially astral energy is just as likely to be found in free form as in bound form, so the state of being bound cannot quite be described as a natural form of energy.

2. Free energy

When an energy is not bound to physical matter, it is called free energy. In this free form, energy is able to move through solid matter (subject to some conditions and limitations), however, in this form it is also subject to a degenerative process in which the energy gradually decays into smaller particles of itself. Each energy tries to escape this process of decay and to again gain a state of boundness, whereby individual energies can remain for immense time without binding. To win this new boundness free energy will try to bind itself to existing matter. Such bindings of energy to matter trigger so-called mutations. Different energies have different mutation potentials, thus different amounts of energy which are necessary to force an existing matter to the mutation. Here the resistance potential of the existing matter is to be mentioned, which determines its resistance force.
To reach this point of comparison, however, an energy must be able to penetrate the body of a physical object or being. If it is unable to do so, it will choose the path of least resistance and seek another body. In rare cases, an energy will not find any existing, available matter and instead undergo a matter transformation. In this process, a bundle of energy sacrifices parts of itself to produce matter. This matter, in turn, can be used by the remaining energy for binding.
Free energies can penetrate not only animate bodies, such as that of a human being. Should the resistance of such beings prove too strong, the energy sags and will inevitably eventually come into contact with earth and stones, to which it can be very easily bound. In these ways, supernatural metals are created that store the forces of an energy inside.

3. Structural energy

Besides its subdivision into the two states free and bound, an additional distinction can be made between two types of energy, structural and activating energy. Structural energy can be imagined here as a bubble, it gives an energy and the corresponding matter its form and its properties. Manipulating this bubble is considerably more difficult than manipulating the activating energy inside. It is also the structural energy that represents the bond to matter. Thus, however, harnessing the structural energy also poses a certain risk. If too much structural energy is lost, which is bound to matter, the matter dies or is subject to change and mutation.

4. Activating energy

Activating energy, in contrast to structural energy is in a constant state of consumption and regeneration. It is especially relevant in animate bodies, such as a human body. Here, energy unconsciously moves along with the intentions of the body, for example, it concentrates in the fist during a punch and accumulates in the legs while a person walks or runs. In addition, activating energy is consumed as well as nutrients in the body to keep it intact and functioning. How far-reaching the differences are between structural energy and activating energy is strongly related to the energy being considered.

5. Energetic frequency

. Every energy, no matter which one, moves with a certain frequency. Depending on the energy, this frequency moves within a certain range, which is given in increments of 1000. The higher this frequency range, the faster a particular form of energy vibrates, so to speak. The lower the frequency range the slower a certain form of energy moves. As already mentioned, energies are able to pass through one another, for which frequencies are especially relevant. The teaching of how which energies can cross

Since we became aware of the existence of the different energies, we had to accept that this world is much more complex than we ever expected. We thought with magic we had opened all the gates, but if we are honest, we had only pushed open the gate of a maze that stretches further than the eye can see. Somewhere in this maze are hidden all the truths we strive to attain. They teach us how energies pass through each other and how they are able to change our shape, just as much as the distant stars may truly influence our personalities.

each other is the most important area of frequency theory, a special aspect of all energetic sciences. Basically it can be said that all energies pass each other, unless their energetic frequencies are too close to each other, then the free energy is repelled by the bound energy and glides past it like a gust of wind. This necessary frequency difference is between 100 and 800, depending on the energy. If the frequency of a free energy is significantly faster than that of a bound energy, it passes through it and will not bind to it. If an energy is significantly slower than a bound energy, it will travel through it and will take enough time for a binding process to occur. In this case, the mutation and resistance potentials mentioned earlier come into play. Basically, therefore, the slower the frequency of an energy, the more dangerous it is to its environment. The slowest of all known energies is demonic energy, which for this reason is significantly feared for dangerous end products, such as the demonplague or miasmas.

6. Energetic density

Energetic density describes the proximity of individual particles of structural energy as well as the amount of activating energy that resides within that energetic density. Inanimate objects like stones or trees have no influence on their energetic density, but it changes according to various environmental influences to which the things react. Animate beings on the other hand, like humans, change their energetic density mostly unconsciously. If they move their legs, energy is bundled in their legs, if they strike, energy is bundled in their fist. Such shifts in energetic density occur constantly, but those who have gained control over the energy in their body or environment are able to perform such condensations willingly. This leads to the increase of the strength of attacks or the improvement of the body's protection. Energetic density is also relevant when it comes to the frequencies of energies. Usually, the energetic density can be imagined as a net. Free energy passes through the meshes in the net. However, if a person can consciously control his or her energetic density, he or she can form a solid wall out of this net that prevents the penetration of foreign energy. This form of energetic manipulation creates a protection not only against slow frequencies, but also against faster ones, thus warding off both types of energy.

7. Enablers

Enablers are those who can consciously manipulate some form of supernatural power. Depending on which energy is affected in which way, additional terminology exists that limits the abilities gained from it. In order to be able to manipulate a certain form of energy at all, a so-called tymidian-mutation is necessary. The tymidian is a brain region that can take on different shapes due to different energies, reforming in the brain. This reformation binds the tymidian to a specific sense, which henceforth acts as a central point for energetic perception and manipulation.

8. Energetic perception

Once the tymidian in the brain is fused and reconnects to the brain, the ability to perceive energies binds to one of the five senses. Rarely it comes to the fusion with several senses, but mostly it is only one. Henceforth, energy is perceived through this sense, thus empowered people can taste, smell, see, feel or hear energies. This ability to perceive energy is the first step in learning to manipulate it. Moreover, the conscious manipulation of energies in certain forms always causes them to become visible, even to the eyes of ordinary people.

9. Energetic manipulation

The deliberate alteration of the flow of energy, its shape, purpose, density or frequency is called energetic manipulation. Depending on the energy, different terms are applied to refer to this manipulation of forces; magicians refer to it as magic, oracles as spirit forces. Energetic manipulation can take many forms and differs primarily in the energy that is manipulated. Magic, for example, requires several subordinate steps, while the manipulations of energetics shift the energy in their bodies to achieve diverse results.

10. Energetic signature

. In addition to energetic frequency, each existent particle of energy has a unique signature. This signature is as unique as a fingerprint is, for example. These unique signatures serve as a key element in investigating criminal cases with supernatural involvement.
