Chapter 7: How to mix Mana, Aura, and Chi using a Wand and its Dangers

Should a person have a great deal of Chakra within them, it is possible to combine Chakra with Mana. However, even among those who begin at an early age, rare few can reach this level. Only those who can Water Walk for at least three hours while maintaining a C-Rank Jutsu for at least half an hour have a chance at achieving this needed amount of Chakra. Should you attempt this technique without the necessary amount of Chakra, you will be turned to stone.

This is very dangerous, and must be done under the supervision of another wizard. To begin the process, one must use the Mana Curse. It is called a curse because of the dire risks, and because it can only affect the user. The incantation is Congregabo vires de natura. As you pull in Mana, a change in your eyes and facial coloration is expected. However, if the changes go beyond that, then the amount of Mana within you is overpowering your chakra, turning you to stone. To reverse the process and remove all the Mana within you, yourself or another wizard must use the Mana Counter-Curse, Expellere vires natura.

If you successfully balance Chakra and Mana, this is called Sage Mode. In Sage Mode, many benefits can be seen. Your strength and speed are largely increased. You'll gain the ability to sense the Mana and Chakra all around you. The gathered Mana will also empower your jutsu. Finally, you'll get a protective invisible coating of Mana around you, protecting you from many physical sources of pain and some minor spells.
