Notes: Dying Will Flames/Spirit Energy Definitions

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Spirit Energy: (noun) Organic energy produced by one's soul.

Spirit Energy manifest differently for each person. How it manifests, the ability and limitations all varied. Certain genetic components will ensure that it manifest a certain way for certain family lines. For example, once awaken, the ability and type of Dying Will Flames is passed down from parent to child. (i.e. Sawada Family and their Sky Flames). People with multiple Flames types usually have one or more active type in their family tree at one point.

Spirit Energy is measured in Spirit Point (SP).

Spirit Energy is generally labeled as Wuji (limitless/boundless) type. As a whole, Spirit Energy has no type, completely in balance. It serves as the 'Kingdom' scientific classification to all different types of spirit energy manifestations.

Examples of Different Spirit Energy Manifestations:

-Dying Will Flames
-Magic
-Exorcist
-Onmyodo
-Future Sight/Seers/Dreamseers
-Fuuta's Ranking Ability

Under normal circumstances, the spirit energy a normal person produces does nothing. In some cases, it may influence your luck, like discovering money on the ground or being able to always find parking. Tiny little gifts that no one really notices.

Life or Death situations can 'awaken' a person's ability to use their spirit energy. (Their abilities usually warp into something that will immediately help them out of said life or death situation). Skilled teachers can also teach someone how to awaken their ability. Spirits can also 'awaken' the gift. Some people are born with the ability with no previous manifestation in their family tree.

Children of 'awaken' parents are, 95 percent of the time, born 'awaken'. (i.e. Fuuta and Ayame)

Dying Will Flames are a common way to awaken, learn, and increase Spirit Energy without being reliant on genetics. This means anyone can learn to use Dying Will Flames. However, the ease of which you awaken your Dying Will Flames can be contributed to genetics. (i.e. a child of an active Flame user will have an easier time than a child of a normal civilian). Certain duties of priest/priestess (or other religious clergy) is another easy way to increase your Spirit Energy abilities.

Dying Will Flames

Dying Will Flames are the easiest type of Spirit Energy to use. Easiest to awaken, easiest to learn, easiest to master, easiest to strengthen. This is due to the high density nature of Dying Will Flames and their basic design.

Active Flames: (noun) Actively able to used Dying Will Flames

Locked Flames: (noun) An offspring of someone who already has Active Flames. Currently unable to use Flames.

Major Difference between Locked Flame person and normal person: A Locked Flame user is mostly to awaken their Flames at a young age and/or whenever threatened. A normal person would go their entire lives without even knowing what Dying Will Flames are unless, accidentally called upon a near death experience (rare) or woken by an Active Flame user.

Yamamoto, Gokudera and Hibari are all examples of Locked Flame Users. Hana and Haru are examples of Normal People who learned Dying Will Flames.

Dying Will Flames are Yang type of energy. However, the different aspects of each Flame fall under different classification. The Flames with Yang Aspects are more likely to be more powerful while Flames with Yin Aspects are more likely to be more versatile.

Examples:

Yang Aspects: Activation of Sun, Hardening of Lightning, Propagation of Cloud
Yin Aspects: Disintegration of Storm, Tranquility of Rain, Construction of Mist
Wuji Aspect: Harmony of Sky

[see 'we are the poisoned youth' fic]

Magic as a whole is Wuji type of energy. However, the different spells used fall under different classifications of Yin, Yang, and Wuji.

Examples:

Yang Spells: Avada Kedavra
Yin Spells: Aqua Eructo
Wuji Spells: Color Change Charm


I just wanted to compile some of the definitions that I used in the story or summarize a few mechanics that were scattered across the main story.
