Hm, I’d have to visit your world to understand how mana effects the humans who live there. As I have mentioned before, it is rare for mana and magical energy to be that destructive to a human body when it is present. I have seen overexertion that it destroys a being or cripples them.
*looks towards the armory*
But nothing like your friend.

@Path

Yeah, we noticed that a lot of mages from other worlds don’t seem to have magic poisoning. But most just end up running out, and a lot of them can’t channel magic either.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Hm.

@Path

What if you could spread out the cost of the spell over your whole soul? Like, you probably can’t do something crazy like bring yourself back to life, but maybe you could send someone a message or something.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

More of shaping, as you are not exactly removing that part.

@Path

Well, you’re at least making yourself able to live without it. Like a lizard losing its tail.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

That’s a dangerous move, bodies are designed to be damaged, but souls, as strong as they can be, are more fragile than bodies and any damage has been seen to be permanent and debilitating to the person.
*taps my chin in thought*
But if a soul were to remove a part of itself to make it’s function as a sort of organ to purge and take on specific damage. I suppose that can be done.

@Path

You’d be cutting off a part of yourself while you’re still alive.

<Snipped quote by Session>

The soul has every capability to cast a spell, but it needs a medium. Even if the soul is strong to do it on it’s own, it was stronger with a body.

@Path

What if it uses part of itself as a catalyst? I’ve never seen anyone use a soul like that, but if a mage can use their own body to absorb the poison of magic, why can’t their soul do the same?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Making spell casting and mana consumption an instinctual part of one’s being. To the point that even if the person dies, the body can continue to utilize magic. And in order to do that, you gotta live in it, breathe it.

@Path

Mmmmm, what about the soul? That would be way easier to cast from than the dead body.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

I have very few subjects that are able to test my research on it. So few that it has made progress into a crawl.

@Path

What part am I already watching?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

You are already watching my progress.
*points outside*
At least part of it.
*looks at you*
The other part has not sufficiently progressed to be able to be viewed yet.

@Path

What does that mean?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Yes, I am.

@Path

Can I see??

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*smiles*
I was wondering if that is what you meant.
*blinks back in front of you*
To be honest, I don’t have anything that is… consistent.
*scratches my chin with a disappointed expression*
There are spells that can be casted after death, actually I have met those who have done such a thing. But they were no normal beings aaand they were already dead. It’s actually something I have been studying and attempting to recreate.

@Path

*My eyes sparkle with amazement*
You’re working on it?? Now?
