Mana Types

Mana in general is the magical power inside every creature and object, it can be channeled and used by certain magicians, magical creatures etc. There are different kinds of uses for mana and different types aswell.

Raw Mana
Raw mana is essentially the most basic form of mana, therefore the term raw. It can be seen infused into anything, being liquid, crystal, rock, lifeforms etc, this energy can then be used in spells and rituals of any kind and can even be combined with other energy types to create new mana. Raw Mana comes in all colors but is mostly seen as a blue or purple force.

Fire Elemental Mana
Fire element is in no way just a flame that appears in a users hand it is more than that. Fire magic is raw mana that is heated up and so gains a extremely high temperature, which then basically results in a flame made of ignited mana. Heatwave attacks are just thin mana clouds sent into the air.

Ignaen Moyasu, the Archtyrant who's a fire demon only has so much control over his fire magic because he just can control mana streams that have a high temperature.

Lightning Elemental Mana
Lightning magic is much like fire a chaotic force that needs a lot of skill to be focused with precision. Lightning magic is created when Mana is sent out with certain movements and in certain angles which creates friction in the air that causes static electricity to form and strike down, the accuracy of these kind of spells are rather bad unless you are really trained in using it.

Raitolgur the Archlord uses his four arms in a dance like movement to create a lot of static force around his body to use for attacks.

Earth Elemental Mana
Earth magic is interesting as the mana used here can change the molecular shape of rock and crystal. Earth mana is basically mana unfused into rocks and the earth itself but not just that, the infused mana causes certain reactions in the structure of the earth which makes it change its structure. So can one just change a rock into sand or especially powerful sorcerers a mountain into mud. It is all about changing the molecular shape of the earth to create this powerful magic.

Death Mana/Poison Mana
A rather dangerous and forbidden kind of mana that is also rather rare, it is capable of destroying ecosystems if used wrong. Death magic or how its actual name is, Poison Magic, is a hated and feared type of mana all around the world due to its devastating powers. All stories about demonic beings taking lifes with a single stare byside, the poison mana is actually quite simple explained, in the most part it is used by creatures that are already poisonous or have poisonous like properties. These creatures basically just mix their own body abilities with the mana they produce and create a simple made but devastating magical force

Archmonstrosity Kegakumo Weavori is a type of draconic spider whos body is partly rotten by default, his body produces gas that is normally found in rotting corpses and this gas mixes with his body enzymes and acid to create his death magic. His fur can sent out thin mana rot gas, his mouth spits acid and his spider leg like wings are covored in flesh like web which emits gas when removed from his body.

Dark Mana
A common mana used in dark magic, mostly used by shadow creatures and other beings born in the darkness. Dark Mana doesnt essentially mean evil or bad, it can be used for good but this part of the story got lost over the decades, now it is more known as the evil mana only villians use. Dark Magic is kinda difficult to explain, it doesnt produce heat or friction, instead it pulls energy from another layer of reality, a layer invisible to all beings who live in our world.

Abyssal Mana
A relative to the Dark Mana but with different properties. Abyssal Mana is somewhat stronger and weaker than Dark Mana at the same time, it can archieve better effects in both corrupting and spell use, it is also more resistant against Light Mana but with downsides. If not used by a creature born in the dark, the user will be corrupted by it and slowly die in immense pain, it is also less controlable which can lead to bad side effects.

Mana of Purity/Light Mana
Light Magic sees a common use in healing magic as its properties for healing are immensely useful, but as much as this mana can heal, it can also destroy and bring the end over the world. Its most dangerous forms are never even seen by humans as it is also depicted as the lifeforce and power of gods, the deities of purity who created this mana. But even when these deities are said to be all powerful and immortal, they arent, and so is their magic. Even the gods and godesses are mortal beings who didnt even create this mana and instead channel it with perfect accuracy, purity is said to cleanse the dark but can equally lose against it and fall to its power, so is it no wonder that a deity can easily become corrupted. Much like Dark Mana, Purity Mana pulls its magic properties from another layer of reality in legends known as the Light Realm.

While healers can simply just heal with this mana, deities can shape it at will into anything they want.

Darklight Mana/Eclipse Mana
A type of mana so rare that it was believed to not being able to exist at all until recently discovered. Darklight mana how the name suggests is a mixture of Light Mana and Dark Mana, past experiments normally showed that trying to fuse these mana types would either result in a devastating magical impuls or the immediate destruction of both elements. But it isnt impossible, under certain unknown conditions, these two manas can fuse and create a even more powerful mana that pulls from both reality layers. Only known situations where this happened were a fusion of a powerful shadow creature and a goddess, aswell as the child of a dark and light being. If both of these forces are somehow obtained, it takes a immense amount of willpower to stop them from conflicting with eachother.
