 ======Potentia======
-**Potentia**, sometimes colloquially called **mana**, is a form of potential energy which can be used to fuel [[magic]]. Unlike other forms of potential energy, such as chemical, elastic, or gravitational, Potentia is sensitive to the will of conscious beings like [[Dragon|dragons]], [[Sape|sapes]], and [[Fae|nature spirits]].

 In normal circumstances, potentia is replenished at some rate by the surrounding leylines, at a rate determined by proximity to the leyline, proximity of that leyline to its source, potency of that source, and draw rate of the magic user.
+In extreme cases, the user may draw potentia beyond what is available to them through will magic. But this is a gamble which may lead to [[olum inversion]], a potentially deadly condition.
 ====Use====
-Potentia is used in accordance with the intensity of the spell being cast, with an efficiency rate determined by the degree of [[knowledge|knowledge magic]] the user has on the domain of the spell.
