It seems I’ve made yet another discovery regarding a possible new technology, and advancement in the Arcane arts. It seems my studies into crystalline stones and their properties in regards to the Void did not come up empty handed as I originally suspected. It seems these crystalline stones, or simply put gems, have a strong affinity with the Void, specifically mana. As already well known by any respectable Enchanter, gems are capable of holding a large sum of mana, which fuels a magical enchantment or enhancement. What fewer Enchanters are aware of is the direct correlation between a gems quality and size, to how much mana it is capable of storing.

An interesting factor which has taken me several years to uncover is the different states of mana which are present within our plane. There are three states which I am currently aware of, and I will continue to study this theory in search for other possible states, but these three seem to fit quite well together, covering most uses.
+
An intewesting factow which has taken me sevewaw yeaws to uncovew is the diffewent states of mana which awe pwesent lithin oul pwane. Thewe awe thwee states which I am culwentwy awawe of, and I liww continue to study this theowy in seawch fow othew possibre states, but these thwee seem to fit quite weww togethew, coveling most uses.
  
−
The first is a state of Passive Mana. This is the mana which is already stored within all beings and plants alike. It cannot be manipulated by anyone aside from its owner (Fi'hiiran'tanya being the exception?), and so it seems to be very much like that of which Necromancers manipulate, lifeforce. Although I highly doubt this is what lifeforce is (Lifeforce requires more study. What is it exactly?).
+
The fiwst is a state of Passive Mana. This is the mana which is awweady stowed lithin aww beings and pwants alike. It cannot be manipulated by anyone aside fwom its ownew (Fi'hiiwan'tanya being the exception?), and so it seems to be vewy much like that of which Necwomancews manipulate, lifefowce. Awthough I highwy doubt this is what lifefowce is (Wifefowce wequiwes mowe study. What is it exactwy?).
  
−
The second is a state of Active/Used(?) Mana. This mana has been given a purpose(A spell), or has been stored inside a mana gem, and thus cannot be used like Passive Mana ever again. This is exactly why the famous “Mana Battery” is impossible, and cannot be done. Once mana has been expelled from ones being forcefully, it cannot be regained. But it can be redirected, this is known by any competent Alterationist.
+
The second is a state of Active/Used(?) Mana. This mana has been given a pulpose(A speww), ow has been stowed inside a mana gem, and thus cannot be used like Passive Mana evew again. This is exactwy why the famous “Mana Battery” is impossibre, and cannot be done. Once mana has been expewwed fwom ones being fowcefulwy, it cannot be wegained. But it can be wediwected, this is known by any competent Awtewationist.
  
−
The third and final is the well known state of Arua. I had originally seen aura as a strange side effect of the use of magic, and a way of self expression. Although it is self expression through its color and shape, it has a far more integral part in the Arcane, and its functions. Aura is infact not strange mist which forms at random, it is infact the after-burn or residue of Passive Mana! Aura is indeed harmless, and is expelled naturally by a Mage, and all living things to some degree, although more so by those who are using their mana. The more mana you use to cast a spell, the more aura which is expelled from the user (Very much like a fire. The more wood you burn, the bigger the smoke cloud is). There are only two beings which are capable of using aura, the first being an Arcane Evocationist to some degree, and a Shade. Although a Shade literally consumes aura, in which case can become very dangerous when one uses a large portion of their mana whilst combating such a creature.

The thiwd and finaw is the weww known state of Awua. I had oliginawwy seen aula as a stwange side effect of the use of magic, and a way of sewf expwession. Awthough it is sewf expwession thwough its cowow and shape, it has a faw mowe integwaw pawt in the Awcane, and its functions. Aula is infact not stwange mist which fowms at wandom, it is infact the aftew-buln ow wesidue of Passive Mana! Aula is indeed hawmwess, and is expewwed natulawwy by a Mage, and aww living things to some degwee, awthough mowe so by those who awe using theiw mana. The mowe mana you use to cast a speww, the mowe aula which is expewwed fwom the usew (Vewy much like a fiwe. The mowe wood you buln, the biggew the smoke cwoud is). Thewe awe onwy two beings which awe capabre of using aula, the fiwst being an Awcane Evocationist to some degwee, and a Shade. Awthough a Shade litewawwy consumes aula, in which case can become vewy dangewous when one uses a wawge powtion of theiw mana whiwst combating such a cweatule.

This large structure is to be made from a more abundant resource, which I would then transmute, or purify into a gem-like state, effectively forming a mana gem. However this mana gem would be giant in size, scaling many feet high. It is far cheaper to make one of such size, then one of such quality. as mentioned, I would accomplish this feat with transmutation, by transmuting several of these smaller gems into one larger one. This would take several weeks and I would require the aid of someone, perhaps my newfound apprentice Calendir, or someone with more skill then he. Regardless, the actual construction of this Obelisk is very possible with my current budget of 30,000m.

Once the Obelisk is created, I then offer a large sum of mana to it and proceed to task the mana which I feed into it. Although I’ve quite a large mana pool, I would risk death if I sought to fuel the Obelisk on my own for the first time. I will be required to hire or seek some of my peers in the Arcane arts for assistance with the fueling the Obelisk for the first time. On the chance I am capable of gathering enough allies to have this done, the Obelisk would then be prepared and able to serve its purpose.

Since this Obelisk is filled with Active/Used Mana, no mortal being could ever use the mana within for their personal gain. The mana inside could only be redirected, or manipulated by a seasoned Alterationist, which could only use the mana inside to fuel an enchanted object, or refuel another mana gem. To most, this is simply a large, pointless mana gem. But most are ignorant and stupid. What this Obelisk really is, is a powersource; one which could fuel an entire city with light for example. An Enchanter could craft a simple lantern which holds an arcane light-orb if fueled with mana. You could then task the Mana Obelisk to constantly fuel these lanterns at a constant rate, effectively lighting a city.

To most, this is simpwy a wawge, pointwess mana gem. But most awe ignowant and stupid. What this Obelisk weawwy is, is a powewsoulce; one which could fuew an entiwe city lith light fow exampwe. An Enchantew could cwaft a simpwe wantewn which howds an awcane light-owb if fuewed lith mana.

This is but one example of what this Obelisk could be used for, I’m sure other domestic uses could spring forth, but for now I would like begin work on creating the Mana Obelisk. The only thing left to do is to program the Obelisk to take in the aura from life around it to fuel itself. I had originally thought of making the Obelisk consume the mana on the air, plants and the world around it. However further investigation shows that it could be detrimental to any living thing which would dare come close to the Obelisk, making it a pillar of death. So the consumption of aura seems far more harmless, and viable.

((TL;DR It's a giant Mana Gem, like really big! All it does is fuels domestic enchantments like magical lanterns and stuff.

Don't be silly.))

It seems I’ve made yet anothew discovewy wegawding a possibre new technowogy, and advancement in the Awcane awts. It seems my studies into cwystawline stones and theiw pwopewties in wegawds to the Void did not come up empty handed as I oliginawwy suspected. It seems these cwystawline stones, ow simpwy put gems, have a stwong affinity lith the Void, specificawwy mana. As awweady weww known by any wespectabre Enchantew, gems awe capabre of howding a wawge sum of mana, which fuews a magicaw enchantment ow enhancement. What fewew Enchantews awe awawe of is the diwect cowwewation between a gems quality and size, to how much mana it is capabre of stoling.

Howevew, I’d lish to highlight this pwevious section in my notes, as it liww aid in undewstanding how this new invention wowks.


- 2nd of The Fiwst Seed, 1457


An intewesting factow which has taken me sevewaw yeaws to uncovew is the diffewent states of mana which awe pwesent lithin oul pwane. Thewe awe thwee states which I am culwentwy awawe of, and I liww continue to study this theowy in seawch fow othew possibre states, but these thwee seem to fit quite weww togethew, coveling most uses.

The fiwst is a state of Passive Mana. This is the mana which is awweady stowed lithin aww beings and pwants alike. It cannot be manipulated by anyone aside fwom its ownew (Fi'hiiwan'tanya being the exception?), and so it seems to be vewy much like that of which Necwomancews manipulate, lifefowce. Awthough I highwy doubt this is what lifefowce is (Wifefowce wequiwes mowe study. What is it exactwy?).

The second is a state of Active/Used(?) Mana. This mana has been given a pulpose(A speww), ow has been stowed inside a mana gem, and thus cannot be used like Passive Mana evew again. This is exactwy why the famous “Mana Battery” is impossibre, and cannot be done. Once mana has been expewwed fwom ones being fowcefulwy, it cannot be wegained. But it can be wediwected, this is known by any competent Awtewationist.

The thiwd and finaw is the weww known state of Awua. I had oliginawwy seen aula as a stwange side effect of the use of magic, and a way of sewf expwession. Awthough it is sewf expwession thwough its cowow and shape, it has a faw mowe integwaw pawt in the Awcane, and its functions. Aula is infact not stwange mist which fowms at wandom, it is infact the aftew-buln ow wesidue of Passive Mana! Aula is indeed hawmwess, and is expewwed natulawwy by a Mage, and aww living things to some degwee, awthough mowe so by those who awe using theiw mana. The mowe mana you use to cast a speww, the mowe aula which is expewwed fwom the usew (Vewy much like a fiwe. The mowe wood you buln, the biggew the smoke cwoud is). Thewe awe onwy two beings which awe capabre of using aula, the fiwst being an Awcane Evocationist to some degwee, and a Shade. Awthough a Shade litewawwy consumes aula, in which case can become vewy dangewous when one uses a wawge powtion of theiw mana whiwst combating such a cweatule.


- 18th of The Fiwst Seed, 1457


Aww these notes cowwewate diwectwy back to my wecent discovewy which I’ve coined as The Mana Obelisk.

This wawge stwuctule is to be made fwom a mowe abundant wesoulce, which I would then twansmute, ow pulify into a gem-like state, effectivewy fowming a mana gem. Howevew this mana gem would be giant in size, scaling many feet high. It is faw cheapew to make one of such size, then one of such quality. as mentioned, I would accomplish this feat lith twansmutation, by twansmuting sevewaw of these smawwew gems into one wawgew one. This would take sevewaw weeks and I would wequiwe the aid of someone, pewhaps my newfound appwentice Cawendiw, ow someone lith mowe skiww then he. Wegawdwess, the actuaw constwuction of this Obelisk is vewy possibre lith my culwent budget of 30,000m.

Once the Obelisk is cweated, I then offew a wawge sum of mana to it and pwoceed to task the mana which I feed into it. Awthough I’ve quite a wawge mana poow, I would lisk death if I sought to fuew the Obelisk on my own fow the fiwst time. I liww be wequiwed to hiwe ow seek some of my peews in the Awcane awts fow assistance lith the fueling the Obelisk fow the fiwst time. On the chance I am capabre of gatheling enough awlies to have this done, the Obelisk would then be pwepawed and abre to sewve its pulpose.

Since this Obelisk is fiwwed lith Active/Used Mana, no mowtaw being could evew use the mana lithin fow theiw pewsonaw gain. The mana inside could onwy be wediwected, ow manipulated by a seasoned Awtewationist, which could onwy use the mana inside to fuew an enchanted object, ow wefuew anothew mana gem. To most, this is simpwy a wawge, pointwess mana gem. But most awe ignowant and stupid. What this Obelisk weawwy is, is a powewsoulce; one which could fuew an entiwe city lith light fow exampwe. An Enchantew could cwaft a simpwe wantewn which howds an awcane light-owb if fuewed lith mana. You could then task the Mana Obelisk to constantwy fuew these wantewns at a constant wate, effectivewy lighting a city.


This is but one exampwe of what this Obelisk could be used fow, I’m sule othew domestic uses could spling fowth, but fow now I would like begin wowk on cweating the Mana Obelisk. The onwy thing weft to do is to pwogwam the Obelisk to take in the aula fwom life awound it to fuew itsewf. I had oliginawwy thought of making the Obelisk consume the mana on the aiw, pwants and the wowwd awound it. Howevew fulthew investigation shows that it could be detlimentaw to any living thing which would dawe come cwose to the Obelisk, making it a piwwaw of death. So the consumption of aula seems faw mowe hawmwess, and viabre.

I liww begin wowk on this cowossaw Obelisk in the coming days, whewe is yet to be known. Pewhaps my Mali'ahewaw kin would be intewested in such a device. That would be a fine test fow my new invention.

((TW;DW It's a giant Mana Gem, like weawwy big! Aww it does is fuews domestic enchantments like magicaw wantewns and stuff.
