 There are three primary energy sources for [[Potentia]], also called mana, which is a type of life energy that fuels magical spells. Any //type// of magic may be cast using any //school// of magic, but these are two different axes of categorization and are not equivalent to one another. To cast a spell successfully, all three sources of magic should be engaged to some degree. There are three primary energy sources for [[Potentia]], also called mana, which is a type of life energy that fuels magical spells.

 +===== Non-Standard Magic =====

This leyline produces a specific type of energy only usable by the weapon's current owner, and only when the weapon's [[Resangel|spirit]] respects the spirit of the wielder.
