Hello there! In this chapter, I'll explain the entire power system all at once because it's a little complicated.
Oh well, if you don't mind learning as the story progresses, then go ahead—read the chapters and enjoy as the power system unfolds with the story.
If you're still confused, you're at the right place. I hope you like it.
The Basics: Spirit Energy
The basic power system revolves around Spirit Energy, or rather, it is what makes up the Power System.
Gates appeared about ten decades ago, connecting Earth to the Spirit Realm, and Spirit Energy spilled into the world.
Spirit Energy has a mind of its own; it chooses only a few to awaken their Spirit Meridians and Spirit Channels.
The Awakened are classified using Spirituality Ranks.(More in the Ranking Chapter.)
Key Components
Spirit Meridian: It's an infinitely large space inside the soul of an Awakened; it is like a reflection of the soul itself.
Spirit Core: It's the physical manifestation of the Spirit Energy inside the Spirit Meridian; you can think of it like the sun of the whole Spirit Meridian.
Spirit Channels: The Spirit Channels are thread-like structures that help in channeling the Spirit Energy to the core; the Spirituality Rank of an Awakened corresponds to the number of Spirit Channels. If a person has two Spirit Channels, that means his Spirituality Rank is 2.
Fables: The Next Stage
Then, after Rank 3, the Awakened ones are gifted a Fable by the Spirit Energy. The Fables exist in the form of Cards inside the Spirit Meridian and can be used to look at the stats like a system window.
Fables provide abilities, and all these abilities come with a curse, and a mission that should be completed by the Awakened to be free from the curse.
Fables are of 4 types: Black, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Each one provides different abilities; the extent of these abilities becomes stronger with the Fable.
Evolving Fables
Further, Fables can be evolved. The Tiers are as follows:
Rising - The initial Tier at which all Fables are born. Tier -1
Progenitor - The First Evolution of a Fable. Tier - 2
Sovereign - The Second Evolution of a Fable. Tier - 3
Mythic - The Final Evolution of a Fable. Tier - 4
