Fundamentals

Aptitude and Spiritual Power

Congenital Spiritual Power determines a newborn wizard's aptitude and capacity to absorb Natural Particle Energy. A value of 7 is sufficient for entry into an elite freshman circle, while lower aptitude can be offset only partially through knowledge, meditation, and resources 1.

• Spiritual Power supports perception, spellcasting, particle-energy control, and physical enhancement.
• Increased Spiritual Power can sharpen the five senses, reveal additional colors and light distortions, and eventually allow manipulation of small objects 55 65 73.
• Meditation-method runes increase Spiritual Power and Particle Energy; later-stage progress is substantially slower 17 139.
• Physical growth must remain balanced with spiritual growth to avoid combat instability 256.

Meditation Methods

Meditation methods create Wizard Runes in the Sea of Consciousness and form the foundation of a wizard's advancement.

• Basic Meditation Methods — used by freshmen and associated with First-level Wizard Apprentice progression 1 17.
• Advanced Meditation Methods — correspond to First- through Third-level Wizard Apprentices 17.
• High-level Meditation Methods — support higher stages of apprentice development 17 256.
• Different methods vary in the quality, quantity, and traits of the Spiritual Power they cultivate 17.

Particle Energy

Particle Energy is generated through meditation and consumed to cast wizardry.

• Its quantity determines how many spells a wizard can sustain in combat 55.
• Its density and quality rise with advancement, increasing wizardry degree and overall combat power 73 102.
• A wizard may develop Special Particle Energy as part of an individual Wizard's Path; creating such energy can be crucial to Formal Wizard advancement 200.
• Formal Wizards use sublimated particle energy, allowing even conventional low- and mid-level wizardry to overwhelm a Limit Apprentice's limit-breaking spells 341.

Wizardry

Wizardry uses spell structures and runes to influence reality through the wizard's power 785.

Wizard Disciplines

Wizards study specialized supernatural disciplines alongside meditation and spellcasting.

• Extraordinary Cultivation — includes physical and creature-focused wizardry such as Iron Claw Steel Skin 1.

Equipment and Resources

• Wizard Artifacts — personal supernatural tools, often requiring high-grade instruments and substantial resources to forge or maintain 101 235.

• Wizard Arrays — structured spells with specialized functions, including the spatial escape array Space Break 177.
• Testing grounds — facilities using memory-metal dolls and mechanical systems to measure wizardry degree, casting time, and duration 73.
• Wizard ships and academies — institutions that educate freshmen, impose training requirements, and provide access to supernatural disciplines 1 66.

Society and Organizations

• Wizard freshmen bound for the Gloomy Wizard Academy must master a basic wizardry within six months or face expulsion 1.
