‘Flux’ is the core concept of the FluxCore magic system. But to understand Flux, one must know a set of terms that revolve around the concept. Here are some of the basic terms used in Fluxcore magic system:

Ether

Ether is the intangible, ever-present substance that permeates the universe. It serves as the foundation for all magical energies and acts as the medium through which they propagate and interact. Ether is in a perpetual state of flow, which is known as the Flux of Ether.

Flux

Flux is the eternal flow of Ether through the universe, representing the fundamental magical energy. The Channeler class of people (mages, wizards/witches, sorcerers, warlocks, etc.) can tap into the Flux directly. While Non-Channeler class magic users cannot channel Flux, it still forms the basis of their magic system by harvesting the accessible form of Flux, known as Aura.

Aura

Aura is the ethereal energy that surrounds all living beings and inanimate objects. It reflects the essence, nature, and qualities of the entity it surrounds. Aura is the form of Ether that can be seen and harnessed by magic users. They harness the power of Auras through a process called Resonance, allowing them to absorb and store the vital energy in their Ether Pool. Auras come in various colors, frequencies, and intensities, each representing different types of energies and potential magical uses.

Vital Energy

Vital Energy is the transformed and usable form of absorbed Aura energy, constantly cycled throughout the body. It is this vital energy that magical practitioners channel from their Ether Pool or Plexus to perform various techniques and incantations. Flux Channeling is the process of manipulating and directing the vital energy into specific forms and purposes, such as creating magical manifestations, casting spells, or imbuing objects with magical properties.

Mana

Mana is an alternative term or analogous concept to Vital Energy, representing the usable magical energy that users channel from their Ether Pool. Both terms are used synonymously in common parlance. In fact, people tend to use the word ‘mana’ over Vital Energy in conversations and casual settings.

Mana is a more static and measurable form of Vital Energy. To clarify, the Vital Energy required for casting a spell or the amount of vital energy filled using a magical potion is expressed in Mana units.
