  What is a Technician?

  
  
  General Information
  Technicians or Meisters are warriors who fight and battle using the weapon forms of Demon Weapons, people who are able to transform into traditional weapons.
  
  
  Solo Meister

  Solo Meisters are meisters who forgo DWMA's general standard of Meister and Weapon partnerships, to work on their own. Solo Meisters are rare, and are often at most times hardly ever seen much among DWMA branches. Most solo meisters gain biased scrutiny from peers due to the abnormality of a meister working by themselves (this also applies to Autonomous Weapons), however if a Meister can prove they have what it takes to be a Soloist, the possibility of a meister being a Solo Meister, is not impossible.
  ​
  Advanced Positions​
  When a Meister has reached the rank of a Three Star Elite, they gain the title of a Death Meister. A Demon Weapon that consumes 100 souls and reaches the rank of a Three Star Elite is also given this title, but as a Death Weapon. Hence there are two known ranks at the epitome of DWMA:
  
  • Death Scythe
  • Death Technician / Death Meister
• 
  

  What is a Demon Weapon

  
  
  General Information
  
  Demon Weapons are humans who can take on the form of traditional weapons. People who fall under the race of a Demon Weapon have the ability to transform into weapons that out class what would be considered 'normal' weaponry on Earth0
  
  
  

  Autonomous Weapons

  Autonomous Weapons are considered the soloist version of a Demon Weapon. Much like Meisters who choose to be a Solo Meister, those Weapons who choose to be Autonomous receive strict testing and critique before they are allowed to be given the title of a Autonomous Weapon. Autonomous Weapons may, much like Solo Meisters, receive biased opinion from their peers.
  
  Much like Soloists it is not often one sees a Autonomous Weapon. Some Weapons retain an autonomous status simply for the purpose of gaining a better partner. However true Autonomous Weapons, are those that work alone, without a meister, and craft their skills.
  ​

  
  

  Transformation

  Weapon Gene
  The Weapon gene, is a unique trait within the genes of a human where genes are affected by the very soul of a Weapon. Due to a Weapon's soul containing fragments of a witch's Soul, humans with this particular alteration gain the ability to become weapons.
  

  Requisites
  Humans that display the potential of a Demon Weapon follow these prerequisites:
  

  • Genes within the family has someone who passed on the weapon gene information to their descendants.
  • The manifestation of abilities from a pre-pubescent to young adolescent age.

  General Information
  Mages, are simply defined as users of magic. It is a loose term to describe sapient beings that wield, possess, and study the many branches that makes up magic. To be a mage means to also be a researcher. And because there are so many schools of magic with so many fields we will simplify everything into two types in which one can be a mage.
  
  
  
  

  The Two Types of Mages

  • True Mage
  • Dubious Mage
  
  
  The Connection
  To be a mage, there must be a connection. What is that connection? I'm talking about Aether. In the past thirty years, since Witches were being re-introduced back on to Earth and more and more other unique races began mingling with humanity, there has been a spark in some humans that cannot be ignored. That spark, was revealed to be a connection that certain humans possessed. Humans that had a connection to mana, and by extension had the power to utilize aether.
  
  To be a meister, you have to have a connection to the Supernatural. Your soul must be capable of utilizing its wavelength in ways that a normal human's couldn't. Now to be a mage, that requires virtually the same thing. You have to have a magical affinity. And it is only then that you are even considered worthy of holding the status of a mage.
  
  
  Unique Feats
  All Mages have the ability to study any field of magic or multiple fields of magic. It really depends on the individual. The point is, the way that magic is used strictly depends on their own culture and where they are from as well as the way in which magic is practiced.
  
  DWMA's Magi curriculum teaches students that are interested, multiple forms of magic. From rune works to spell casting, to wand using to verbal or nonverbal casting and forwards!
  
  A particular uncommon feat, is the ability to summon a beast or creature, that acts as a familiar. Familiars, are an uncommon practice, even in the magic field. Few mages have familiars, and those that do never can really say how they got their familiar in the first place.
  
  While gaining a familiar isn't entirely common. It is not considered 'special' in the magic field. Simply unique and something of interest. Especially if that familiar, has the ability to talk.
  
• 
  

  What is a True mage?

  
  True Mages are a type of mage who unlike their counterpart, focus solely on magic instead of a mixture into the supernatural magic. A True Mage, to put it simply, is a person who devotes themselves into the study of many fields in magic or more. The choice on how much one knows, and how many fields they go into varies from person-to-person.
  
  
  To Be A True Mage
  MAGI is the magical curriculum in which all mages of both types are trained. Being a True Mage, means students study magic, but do not study much of the supernatural that members of the E.A.T curriculum undergo. True mages, study magic, and strictly magic. Their studies involve Mythics, Supernatural and magical artifacts, curses, spells, etc etc.
  
  
  Affinity

  The affinity of a mage is just as important as the affinity of a meister or demon weapon. Mages are best identified by their magical signature. A M.S. is similar to the Soul Signature, the only difference is, magic users are far more capable in picking up magic signatures within an area, than their supernatural counterparts.
  
  A True Mage's affinity, is a powerful affinity. True Mages, have strong magical affinities, but strong magic affinities does not mean a mage will be powerful. It simply means their magic has the potential to become stronger so long as they put in the practice to exercise that magic like any meister exercises their own supernatural talents. This also ties in to the name True Mage's gain for their affinity. Sometimes called a Locked Magic Affinity. This is due to the fact that True Mages commonly do not have an affinity to the supernatural or if they do, their affinities to the supernatural are as weak as a normal human's affinity to either magic or supernatural energy.
  
  It is not un-common for a mage to have an affinity to both supernatural energy and magic, but it is not common for both to be equal in strength. One, always out trumps the other, just as a hybrid born with a strong supernatural connection will out due their magical inheritance if they focus on their supernatural training or vice versa.
  
  

  Locked Affinity

  Not all True Mages have locked affinities. Having a locked affinity means your connection to one of the branches of mana is so great, that you have no need to connect to any of the others, thus, your connection to any of the other rivers of mana is cut off entirely by dams and boulders.
  
  True Mages however tend to struggle in their connection to other branches, because True Mages, have powerful affinities to magic that makes it tough in general for them to connect to the Spiritual Energy in the river of Supernatural. This is not to say that a True Mage that struggles to connect to spiritual energy is a powerful mage, it just means their connection to aethar trumps their weak connection to the supernatural.
  ​
  
  
  Strengths
  The feats in which a True Mage and only a True Mage can perform.
  
  
  • Mythic Understanding: As a True Mage, students in the Magi Curriculum have access to studying the mythics under DWMA's care. This grants them the chance to learn much more about Mythics, than a Dubious Mage could.
    
  • Familiar Summoning:True Mages have the magic reserves to summon familiars. The type of familiar they summon is dependent on the magic they possess, their personality, and their soul.
    
  • Field Understanding: True mages gain the ability to understand or identify multiple forms of magic anomalies. It is a common skill all True mages have and a good one to have when dabbling with magic.
    
  • Unnatural Chain Resonance: With a artifact, Chain Resonance is possible for a true mage. True Mages lack the spiritual affinity that Dubious Mages have to perform normal resonance. Thus they require a catalyst of some sort to make a connection seem normal without causing adverse effects on the party involved.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  The following list will cover the limits a True Mage is possesses.
  
  
  • Soul Resonance: True Mages, cannot perform Soul Resonance. They lack the ability and affinity to do this due to their magic wavelength disrupting spiritual wavelengths, where a Dubious mage is balanced enough to do so, a True Mage is not.
    
    
  • Chain Resonance: Performing Chain Resonance in the manner True mages do, can cause adverse effects to stem if the chain resonance occurs for too long.
• 
  

  What is a Dubious mage?

  
  Dubious Mages are mages who focus on one particular field of magic, but also study the works of the supernatural as well.
  
  
  To Be A Dubious Mage
  Dubious mages, study one form of magic from the schools of magic and specialize in both that field and in the supernatural arts. To be a Dubious Mage is to both be a mage, but not be one as well. Unlike their counterpart, Dubious mages do not branch out as much in their field. Instead they alternate between magic and the spiritual.
  
  The Magi Curriculum, teaches students of the Dubious Mage category many things. Dubious mages, learn about mythics, they learn about the basic fields of magic, and learn a little about the supernatural artifacts related to magic. They are taught how to cast spells, study curses but do not have the opportunity to train under multiple fields of magic like True Mages do. Instead they train under one, two, or maybe three fields if they have the potential- then they learn about spiritual energy and how to channel their magical signatures in a way that it can communicate with the soul wavelength of a meister or a weapon.
  
  
  Affinity

  Dubious mages are mages whose affinity is fluid. Their affinities allow them to manipulate both magic and spiritual energy, but the levels in which a Dubious mage can do this varies greatly. Commonly, all dubous mages have a wavelength that allows them to not only connect with Meisters but also allows them to connect with Weapons. This gives them the ability to do something True Mages cannot, and that is to become Meisters (or even Weapons) themselves.​
  
  
  Strengths
  Dubious Mages, have a multitude of a Strengths that make them completely different from their True Mage counterpart. The list below explains how.
  
  
  • Supernatural Magic: Dubious mages, tap into the stream of supernatural magic. It is a stream that takes from both the rivers of Magic and Spiritual Energy. Because of this, Dubious mages have the potential to not only be Meisters and Weapons, but they have the power to perform Soul Resonance and Chain Resonance.
    
  • Soul Resonance: Resonance is not a common feat among mages. Very few mages can perform a resonance successfully. In the Magi Curriculum Dubious Mages of the Omega class are required to know how to perform a successful resonance at least once by the end of their first year.
    
  • Chain Resonance: A feat not even True Mages can perform. Dubious Mages have the ability to perform Chain Resonance because their affinity to the supernatural magic is great enough that it grants them the ability to do so.
  
  
  Weaknesses
  The following list will cover the abilities a Dubious Mage is not capable of achieving.
  
  
  • Familiar Summoning: Dubious Mages lack the ability to summon a familiar. It is rare for a Dubious Mage to have the ability to have the magic reserves necessary to perform such a feat. And the chances of a Dubious Mage being able of summoning a familiar, is slim if not to none.
    
  • Multiple Field Study: Dubious Mages lack the understanding of knowing multiple fields of magic unless otherwise self-taught (which in of itself is never considered a grand skill). In most cases, a dubious mage only has enough understanding in their own field and lack the necessary understanding of the other fields such as Enchanter or Shaman magic.
    
  • Limited Mythic Understanding:Dubious Mages do not gain the as many opportunities to study mythics like a True Mage does.

  What is a Soul Signature?

  
  
  

  
  

  Soul Signature​

  
  Otherwise known as the signature of the soul. Soul signature(s) is the individual signature or 'noise' that belongs to a an individual's soul. Every living being, animal, or person has a soul signature. Every soul signature is different. No one signature is the same, even if by some experiment two souls were bound to one body, those individual souls would still be completely distinguishable.
  
  The signature of a individual's soul is not restricted or limited. Souls are not restricted or bound by a specific identification type, even if one's soul does fall under one of the rarer variants, souls have no similar identification nor do they have limits in identification in terms of species or race as each and every living thing's soul has its own id-- has its own feel, vibe, sense, and soul pressure.
  
  In conclusion, souls are without restrictions. A person's soul cannot be tied to another's identification no matter how much one wants it to or wills it. In all essence, that is what a soul signature is. A person's selfhood-- their own identity, something that can't be stolen by anyone. Even if they tried, its nigh impossible to mimic another's signature perfectly.
  
  That is a soul signature.
  
  
  
  
  
  !~Theories & Speculation~!
  In theory, it is technically possible to mimic the signature of another's soul. But such practices have only been performed in magic on a meager scale and even then to mimic another person's soul perfectly is in practice, impossible. No one being has been known to ever been able to mimic another person or thing's soul perfectly. Signatures are unique, special, and different. They are practically what allow the Shinigami's List to function the way they do.
  
  Hence the mimicry of a signature in perfection is impossible. Even when a soul is mimicked that soul will always have chinks or differences about it that are more or less easy to sense or notice through the use of Soul Perception, particularly those that have the inherent trait will be able to tell the difference, albeit only skilled Perceptionists can notice small discrepancies between the real deal and a mimic.
  
  While perfection is impossible, achieving something close isn't. The only ones known to perform such feats however are Arch Mages or High Level Sorcerers. People or beings that have a profound knowledge of magic are usually more than capable of hiding their mistakes to make it exceptionally difficult, make no mistake though, they still exist.

  General Information

  Soul Resonance is a special phenomenon performed exclusively by a Meister and a Demon Weapon and is an action that empowers both a Technician and Weapon.
  _{SideNote #1: Chain Resonance is a form of Soul Resonance.}
  

  
  

  Process

  Soul Resonance is performed when a Meister's Soul Wavelength is sent into their Weapon, which then amplifies it and sends it back to the Meister. This process is done repeatedly. It is an exchange that occurs constantly through the oscillation of a Technician and Weapon's wavelength and in turn this can generate a strong wavelength that can enable a powerful technique to be performed.
  

  
  

  
  

  Resonance

  
  

  
  

  Matching Wavelengths

  Resonating wavelengths is crucial and the key component to a Meister and Weapon partnership. And in order to first begin doing this, individuals must have an understanding of one another. One cannot simply just match wavelengths with another person and expect it to be strong based off the strength of their own souls. No matter how strong a soul is, even if two or three people can match wavelengths, if there is no understanding or connection between their personalities- if there's no growth, then that resonance itself can be weakened. It can be broken. The relationship between DWMA partners, is key. For if that relationship is weak or can easily be broken than that means the partnership itself was never that strong to begin with, and in the end it is no one but the individuals of that partnership but to blame. Matching wavelengths alone may allow a Meister and Weapon to work together, but simply matching wavelengths isn't enough to face off against the most powerful of foes in the line of battle.
  

  
  

  
  This is one of the many reasons why DWMA teaches the importance of camaraderie through mission accomplishment and teamwork related exercises. To force students to mingle if they choose not to mingle themselves, and to in turn create a learning environment for both them and everyone else. To summarize, there must be some form of relationship-- an understanding, a connection on some sort of level. To gain a 'pure' resonance, there has to be some level of a rapport. To gain an even more powerful Soul Resonance, there must be a powerful bond.
  

  
  

  
  

  Training

  
  

  • Breathing
    A compulsory form of training given to every student of DWMA regardless of what curriculum they are in. Given DWMA's reputation even the basics of steady breathing management is handed down to members of N.O.T out of a precautionary measure than anything else.
    
    However the breathing exercise is something heavily more focused in the Magi and E.A.T curriculum.
    
    In EAT students are taught how to manage their breathing from the entirety of the Beta year within the One Star rank and are heavily advised to manage this when they begin town to urban area missions later in the Omega division. This practice is still something heavily advised even in the higher ranks and divisions as it is something that can easily be forgotten, especially in the heat of a difficult mission.
    
    Breathing management and being able to match one's own breathing with their partner be they Weapon or Meister, is one of the smaller exercises taken in preparation to aid Meisters and Weapons for partnerships. While it is not a key component, it is still something practiced to aid younger students or those new to the EAT curriculum in getting into the mindset of gaining partners.
    _{N1:On the rare occasion there are those that take the soloist route, they are still taught this exercise as it is crucial regardless of whether one decides to have a partner or not.}
    
  • Wavelengths
    To match wavelengths, takes time and on-field experience. Since wavelengths depend on the personalities of an individual and how that personality clashes, it goes without saying partnerships are picky. For wavelengths to match properly, there has to be a contrast in the individuals personas. They can't be too similar, nor can they have too big of the same qualities that would cause either persona to match. There has to be a contrast in a partnership between personalities for it to work properly and smoothly without harm coming to either student.
    
    It is this scenario and this level of necessary observation that Staff and Faculty, along with the Headmaster himself, are tasked with manipulating events to make it so that students do interact with one another. More so people that are there opposites than people that wouldn't clash with their general personas. Through this, Meisters and Weapons are eventually paired by instructors based off their observations or on some occasions based off the student's own understandings.
    
    All of this being necessary to give both Technician and Weapon the experience they need so if chance calls, they will know how to utilize it in battle.

  General Information

  Soul Perception is the ability that which relates to being able to perceive the soul. Originally humans born with the ability to manipulate their own souls adapted this inherent skill based off the utilization and usage of other species.
  
  _{SIdeNote #2: Super Soul Perception is a far more powerful and enhanced version of Soul Perception. It falls under the same outline of Soul Perception, the only difference is the level of skill and new abilities applied to it}.
  
  Soul Perception can be divided into two types. Type 1 and Type 2. Both of which are sub-topics under Soul Perception itself.
  

  
  

  
  

  Soul Perception Type 2

  
  
  
  

  Type 1{The Skill}
  
  

  Information

  
  Soul Perception Type 1 otherwise called a skill, is just as its affiliate implies. Type 1 is nothing more than a skill. A ubiquitous one at that, but a skill nonetheless. Type 1 is a skill that any one with the ability to use Soul Manipulation can use. It however unlike Type 2 lacks a wide spread spectrum of usage or application compared to those with the Type 2 variant.
  
  Unlike Type 2, this particular type is not an inherent skill but a practiced skill that can be learned by anyone or thing so long as the person has the ability of soul manipulation. Without being able to utilize soul manipulation, it would be impossible to use this particular skill. Hence, mages such as Earth Shaman, Enchanters, and other members of the magic community -excluding hybrids- that do not focus on learning the supernatural quality magic can offer are unable to perform even this feat of Soul Perception.
  

  Applications

  
  
  

  • Purity & Impurity
    
    Type 1 allows a person to perceive souls, however that level of perception is limited to a particular hue. That hue ranges from light blue to a darker tone akin to navy blue. Both hues represent a particular form of impurity to purity. Light blue representing a soul in its purest form, eventually degrading to a darker tone the more a soul is corrupted.
    _{N2:This feature is also applicable in Type 2, however the way it applies is different.}
    
    Corrupted souls are thus represented by a darker shade of this blue. Users of this type can only perceive souls in this particular spectrum: ranging from light blue to dark navy blue. It is through this color spectrum that a person can differentiate between the souls of corrupted humans all the way to Mock Kishins.
    _{N3: Corrupted souls and their correlation to Monsters and Mock Kishins as well as Kishins will be discussed in a later chapter}​
  • Gauging
    Users can sense, feel or see the strength of a soul based off this ability through the brilliance of a soul. It is a common skill all Technicians and Weapons have upon passing Beta division of the One Star rank. Through this skill, not only can the strength of a Soul be picked up, but spikes in power or rises in strength can be sensed when Soul Resonance occurs.
    
  • Luminosity
    As discussed in gauging, the strength of an individual and the strength emitted through their soul comes in the form of luminosity. Type 1's and Type 2's are capable of picking up this strength based on how bright a soul shines, and the higher that brightness the greater that strength appears.
    
  • Tracking
    Soul Perception combined with the Shinigami List, allows users to perform tracking. All types under Soul Perception have this ability and it is not limited by skill or trait, however the Type 1's are only able to perform tracking through the Shinigami's List, while Type 2's aren't necessarily as restricted.

  Limitations

  
  
  

  • Soul Signature
    As said, Type 1 is a skill. And as repeated, this skill compared to its variant, is limited. All Type 1 users are incapable of sensing or distinguishing an individual's soul signature from another. What does this mean? It means, Type 1 users wouldn't be able to tell the difference between person A from person B, because the ability to sense the literal identification of a person's soul goes beyond the general skill set.
    
    This is mainly due to the fact that Type 1 SP, lacks the ability and potential to allow users to perceive the 'entirety' of an individual's soul. Focusing more on how corruption is detected and less on the individual aspects that are a crucial part of a soul as well. The skill itself also lacks the supernatural capacity to give users of this type the ability to perceive other aspects of the soul that will be described in the next point.
    
  • Spirit Eval.
    Users of Type 1 not only lack the ability to differentiate between different Soul Signature's -excluding their own- but they also lack the ability to perceive the species, race, and type of a soul. Type 1 fails in this department, since it was a skill developed for the purpose of giving any user of Soul Manipulation the ability to simply tell a corrupted soul from a pure one or pick up on strong presences. In all intents and purposes it was developed for users who didn't have the inherent trait in order to allow anyone to understand the transformation of corruption to Monster to Mock Kishin to Kishin, as well as to aid in missions of hunting beings placed on the Shinigami's List. Due to this fact plus its own limits, users of Type 1 cannot see the individual aspects of a person's soul, such as the individual colorization of that particular soul, the typeof soul that individual carries, or even any different characteristics that make up the signature of that person's soul.
    
  • Emotions
    Since the Soul Signature itself cannot be read or distinguished, it only makes sense the very emotions or personalities of a soul would be impossible to distinguish or read either. Type 1's can't read intentions, personalities, or emotions of a soul due to the skills own level of utilization. Therefore making it impossible for a type one to be able to read emotional based qualities of a soul, let alone being able to completely tell what a powerful feeling would be based off the lack of this skill.

  Weaknesses

  
  

  • Emotional Perception
    Users of Type 1 cannot perceive emotions, intentions, or the feelings of an individual through Type 1.
    
  • Signature
    Type 1 lacks the actual ability or supernatural potential to allow a user of this type the ability to perceive the soul signature of a given individual. Thus, the feeling of souls will feel the same to anyone that uses this type, however it is dissuaded in keeping this manner of thought at DWMA, as it is highly taught that all Souls carry a different signature, even if a person cannot perceive it. It is still there.
    
  • Perception Share
    Because users do not have the inherent trait to utilize Type 2 or the trait is too recessive to be active, users of this type cannot share perception. Mainly because it would be redundant in doing so since it wouldn't allow either partner to expand on the field of their abilities since all Weapons and Technicians are taught to use Type 1 at the very beginning of the enrollment in DWMA.
    
  • Soul Suppression
    Soul Suppression is a unique skill taught to those only interested in learning it. It allows users to suppress the true strength or feeling of their souls and works based off of one's current emotional state and own self-control. If a soul is utilizing this technique, Type 1's cannot perceive the genuine strength of that soul. Experienced users of Type 2 however, especially experts, have a better chance of going through this technique and perceiving a soul for its actual strength rather than the fake that is being given and the shackles that are being put.
    
  • Soul Protect
    Soul Protect, was a skill developed by Witches. This skill, goes over a Type 1's head completely, as they would not be able to sense a Witches soul or the feeling of that witch since they are blocked off to the Signatures of an individual's soul. However, they would be able to perceive the gap in strength or power shockwave available if present in that area.

  Advantages

  
  

  • Sensitivity to Madness
    Out of everything Type 1's should consider this a blessing. Due to them lacking the inherent trait of the Perception gene they are not as susceptible to falling into Madness in comparison to Type 2's who have a much higher chance and success rate of succumbing to Madness.
    
    Thus due to this, Type 1's have a better chance of overcoming Madness. However this isn't guaranteed as Madness attacks a person mentally and distorts both mental and physical perspective the more it overtakes the mind. The weaker a Type 1 is mentally, then the more chance they have of falling to Madness, so they aren't completely out of the clear.
    
  • Fear
    While Type 2's have the advantage in appliance, some are more likely to fall into this category when faced against powerful opponents. While its not guaranteed, it has happened. Due to this Type 1's are more less likely to fall under this category but once again that depends on the individual and person in general.

  
  
  
  
  

  Type 2 {The Trait}
  
  

  Information

  
  Type 2, is the perceptionist trait passed down through inheritance. Type 2 in the human race is an exceptionally difficult trait to attain among those born with the ability to perform soul manipulation. Due to this, the trait itself is considered rare among humans, but those with this trait gain a far more broader application in the abilities of Soul Perception in contrast to Type 1. However the application itself of this particular type for users born with it is all also reliant on training and practice to truly expand the ability and access higher applications and different forms of application.
  
  Type 2 users, born with the ability of Soul Perception undergo basic training using Type 1 at the Beta stage of a One Star. After which, their abilities are expanded on and they are taught different ways to expand on their perception ability. And once reaching an Elite stage within the One Star rank students are required to expand on their inherent trait from there on their own and are trained on fewer occasions.
  
  In order to simplify the explanation and minimize confusion we'll summarize how exactly this trait works and how exactly rare it is.
  

  Genetics (TL; DR)

  
  The Perceptionist Gene will be defined with Person A and the Weapon Gene will be represented with Person B. For the sake of a future argument we'll make a Person C just to give you an idea of where we'll be going.
  
  Now then, let's say Person A is a full bred human, i.e. a human with no other lineage or genetic connection to any other species or race. No distant elfin relatives, no distant dwarf relatives or anything of the like, this person is 100% human. In this case, Person A would be our prime example for how the perceptionist trait is recognized in humans.
  
  This basically comes down to the Perceptionist Gene having a higher chance of existing in 'pure'-blood humans than humans who have other traces or links to other species/races. However for this gene to exist in any person, there must be someone within the family lineage to have passed this particular trait down to them in the first place. Chances are doubled if both parents passed down the trait as well. But, even then just because a person has the perception trait within them, doesn't necessarily mean it will be active. In many cases the gene itself may be dormant and not potent enough to act properly to allow a person to use Type 2. In other cases the gene itself may not even have been passed down to a child if they come from a mixed species or race, but again this all depends on the general genetics of that family.
  
  To help give you a better understanding, take a look at this chart:
  
  

  Pure-Blood Humans	Mixed Blood	Other Species/Race
  Person A	Person C	Person B

  
  Now we have our chart. Take a look at Person A. Person A and people like Person A, full humans, have a higher percentage chance in getting the Perception trait if there was even a carrier in their family in the first place. Whether that gene is active depends on the genetics, but we wouldn't want to confuse you with that. In conclusion, if Person A has the ability of Soul Manipulation and comes from a family that has carriers of the Perceptionist Gene they will have a far higher chance of that gene and an even higher chance of it being active. Hence the reason why Soul Perception in general is seen as a Meister exclusive skill.
  
  Shift your attention to Person C. Person C, represents half-bloods or mixed related blood. Humans/beings that come from a lineage of mixed races. As stated before, while humans aren't the only one that can utilize Soul Perception, for humanity in general the trait is still extremely rare. Person C, falls under being in this rare category. In comparison to Person A, Person C has a much lower chance of getting the Perceptionist trait especially if they have another active gene outside the human species within them. However even for this trait to be passed, again a person must have someone within their family who can use Soul Perception Type 2 and is directly related to them by blood or is a carrier of Type 2. If neither of these are met, the gene isn't passed and thus Person C cannot use Type 2. In some cases, Person C may fall under a sub-type of Type 2, that will be discussed later, but again the requirements for the gene to exist in Person C must be met first.
  
  Finally we have Person B. Person B, is a full blooded Demon Weapon, for example. If Person C has a already middle to low chance of getting the gene depending on whether or not they even have it, then Person B has no chance of getting it at all, especially if no one in their family has been known to be a carrier of Type 2. The less the gene exists in a bloodline, the less chance it has of existing in those descendants.
  _{N4: It is often extremely rare but Person B may fall under the subset of Type 2 as well.}
  

  Applications

  
  

  • Purity & Impurity
    Type 2's like Type 1's can tell the difference between purity to impurity. Although unlike Type 1's they aren't limited to just one particular hue spectrum. Due to Type 2's being open to the signature of a soul, they can see the way corruption affects a soul before it becomes a Monster, Mock Kishin or complete Kishin and are able to perceive an individual's unique soul aspects.
    
  • Signature
    An active Perceptionist trait, allows users the ability to utilize Type 2. With this type a person has the ability to differentiate between Person A's soul and Person B's. Unlike Type 1, the feeling from both these souls won't be the same and will actually be identifiable; giving an exploiter of this type the ability to be able to identify a person based off the signature of their soul. Due to this simple application, Type 2 opens a broader spectrum of uses in how it can be applied. However in order to identify a soul, it requires training. Type 2 in general requires a strict training regime to develop many of its wide fields but to identify a signature especially is on a topic of its own entirely.
    
    To summarize let's just say it requires more than just a simple glance at a soul. It takes more of getting used to and understanding that feeling of a person's soul and the individual themselves before being able to identify the signature itself.
    
  • Gauging
    Like Type 1, the Perceptionist Gene, allows a user to perceive strength or spikes in power through the soul. Like Type 1, it can also be perceived through luminosity and the intensity of brilliance.
    
  • Tracking & Signature
    As said in Type 1, both Type 2 and Type 1 have the capability of allowing tracking. However both are more or less restricted in how far they can go with tracking due to the Shinigami List. Without the Shinigami List (or enhanced skills or abilities) tracking a soul in general is a difficult task. Type 2's have an advantage in this aspect over Type 1's because they can utilize the Signature of a soul to pick up on a target for either a mission or other purpose without much difficulty.
    
    While Signatures require more then just a glance to get familiarity the Shinigami List more or less acts like a flare or beacon that allows a user of either type to focus solely on this particular being's soul. However Type 2's gain the small advantage in this due to the fact that they can differentiate between souls and are thus given a slight advantage in sensing or picking up on targets with their ability.
    
  • Emotional Perception
    Type 2's can sense emotions. This is an exclusive ability given, through the Perception Gene. Much like a partnership, emotions , thoughts, intentions, and feelings can be sensed at the pinnacle of matching wavelengths. Type 2's can only sense emotions when utilizing Soul Perception. However doing this effectively, can only be done at a higher level, and takes years of proper practice, training, observation, and large amounts of social interaction with different people before any one person can do this successful and accurately without being vague or making bad guesses/mistakes at the true emotions being expressed.
    
    So far the only known living users capable of doing this accurately are Maka Albarn, Sid Barett, Franken Stein, Ox Ford, and Lord Symmetry.
    
  • Personality Evaluation
    While self-explanatory, this still needs explaining. When we say 'evaluation' we aren't saying you are being given a test, this is far from it. Personality Evaluation is a technique tied in with Type 2's and it is accessed thanks to the potential of Type 2 allowing users to perceive the Soul Signature. With these studies, a individual can discern the general personality of a user.
    
    At a basic level, perhaps one or two things can be vaguely made out. At expert, it becomes quite easy and clear to tell the personality of an individual and even becomes a possibility to identify hidden or darker feelings under the surface. Although, once more, that can only be achieved through years of training.
    
    The only known living users that have mastered personality evaluation are Franken Stein, Ruby, and Lord Symmetry.
    
  • Perception Share
    A skill that allows active users of Type 2, the ability to share their extended or enhanced Soul Perception abilities with their partners through the act of Soul Resonance.
    
  • Spirit Evaluation
    An expect level skill that allows a user of Type 2 to determine the race, species, and type of soul, an individual has. This skill takes time to develop as the signature of a soul gives access to all the individual characteristics of a soul. Which means users have the ability to perceive a person's soul in its own colorization form with all the other aspects included.
    
    Example: Let' say Person B is a Giant. Looking at Person B's soul, we see certain features only its soul will have. Say the soul is bulky, and seems to have a soul fragment around it resembling torn cloth. Let's also say this soul's colorization is orange. If that is the case, given Person B's species, and their soul an expert or skilled user of Type 2 could figure out the giant's race, as well as see that individual colorization belonging to that soul. They would also perceive the cloth around it and the bulkiness of that soul.
    
    This is all an example of Spirit Evaluation. It gives users the ability to deduct or discern the general race, species, individual colorization and characteristic features of a person's soul. All of which is unavailable to Type 1's who can only see souls in two particular hues and the luminosity.

  Limitations

  
  

  • Range
    While Type 2's have a broader chance at applying soul perception, they are limited in range. Beginners can't go a certain extent beyond maybe a foot but then again it all depends on the individual and how potent the perceptionist gene is.
    
  • Expanded Presence
    As stated both types allow users to sense power fluctuations and presence. However, Type 2's are incapable of sensing a presence or soul if that soul itself encompasses them within it. The prime example of someone with a soul this potent, is the late Lord Death, father of Lord Symmetry.
    
    Lord Death's soul encompassed all of Death City, thus making it impossible for his own soul to be sensed within the city's boundaries. Due to this, it makes it seem as though a being or entity may or may not have a soul when the fact is that soul is simply to prevalent in presence that it cannot be sensed under normal circumstances.
    _{N5: Super Soul Perception might be a gateway out of this, but it again depends on the user's own skill as gaining Super Soul Perception is never a guarantee.}

  Weaknesses

  
  

  • Madness
    Type 2's are highly capable of falling into Madness despite their advantages. These advantages themselves allow them for a higher sense of sensitivity towards anyone with a Madness Wavelength. Especially if that wavelength is strong enough to affect them in a debilitating manner.
    
    Due to the fact that there is no one particular form of Madness, different forms of Madness affect different people differently; however this doesn't mean a Type 2 is in the clear even if say the Madness of Food didn't affect them like the Madness of Ice Cream did. Type 2's are more susceptible to Madness than Type 1's. The only difference in how far one can fall to Madness is how strong they can hold off against it and how different types of Madness generally affect a person in general. But that still doesn't change a Type 2's heightened sensitivity to it.
    
  • Sensitivity
    Covered in Madness, we still need to clarify on this a little. Type 2's have the ability in perceiving an individual(s) Soul Signature. Because of this, they have more aspects and features open to them. This also means that their Perception Gene (depending on the genetics of the individual and their family), may or may not have a higher sensitivity to Supernatural Energy as a result. Thus, Perceptionists must work through the 'noise' of a soul before being able to properly distinguish and perceive it.
    
    Not only does this sensitivity relate to the 'noise' of a soul, but it also directly relates to the Madness of a soul. Think of a Type 2's perception capability like a light sensor. And this example will expound on what we mean:
    
    Example: Light Sensor
    Think of Type 2 perception like a light sensor and think of Madness as a Person. When Madness walks within Type 2's general vicinity, it will pick up on it even if Madness isn't anywhere that close to the sensor in general. Perceptionists are more or less like this. Even if faint, they will pick it up in a way that Type 1's couldn't possibly hope to achieve.
    
    And will continue to pick up the Madness for a lingering few moments even after the Madness wavelength has already swept through and is long gone. This is why DWMA holds the motto:
    
    

    "A strong soul dwells within a strong mind and a strong body."​

  • Soul Protect
    Soul Protect, cannot be encrypted even by an expert Type 2 Perceptionist. The only known way of breaching Soul Protect, is by a person inheriting a Super Soul Perception.
    
    The only known user of Super Soul Perception, is Buttaki Joe; he however is deceased-- murdered before the Kishin War and there have been no known successors of the skill since.

  Advantages

  
  

  • Soul Signature
    All Type 2's can pick up on Soul Signature, unlike Type 1. With this they have access to spiritual eval. persona eval. and even emotional perception. However how well a person can utilize their understanding of the Signature is heavily dependent on training and isn't something a person just knows how to do. It takes a large amount training and practice before they can even figure out how to acutely figure out one emotion from another, and it takes time to even properly pick up on different people's soul ids and how they feel before a person can pinpoint Person A from Person B.
    
  • Spirit Evaluation
    Spirit Evaluation, allows Type 2's to evaluate not only the emotions but the species and race as well. It is a technique taught to more or advanced or more hard-working students and is something lightly touched on in One Star Elite and actually practiced in Two Star Amateur.
    
  • Personality Evaluation
    A skill that is more based off individual experience and light instructor involvement than actual training. It allows beginners to discern the surface of emotions, and slowly grow and develop from there. Very few are capable of picking up on hidden intentions easily if at all but on the few cases that a young perceptionist can their understanding of the particular emotion is blurred out due to other emotions bleeding in.

  Type UP {The Dormant}

  
  

  Information

  
  UP represents Unnatrual Phenomenon, and it can be used to represent our Person B and Person C from our previous table; full bloods and half-bloods with two active genes.
  

  Genetics (TL ; DR)

  
  In extremely rare cases unlike Type 2 that only has a person with one or two dominant genes or recessive genes (both being the Perception Gene), there is a 1/1000 chance that an individual can be born with two active different dominant genes or one active Perception gene and another unique recessive gene that can be triggered into activity under the right circumstances or situation. However in most cases this latent gene, never awakens and stays dormant even with training. It is extremely rare for a person to have two unique genes active at the same time within the human race and the percentages of a person being born with both these genes active are nearly nonexistent.
  
  So far no known person falls under the topic of being born with two unique genes being active at the same time. That however is an entirely different topic we won't get into to confuse you.
  
  Type 2's mostly consist of pure-blood humans, occasionally now and then on few occasions consisting of mixed blooded individuals within the half blood spectrum. People in Type 2 have a dominant Perception Gene or two recessive genes that allows for it to be active. Mixed bloods in Type 2 have the perception gene most potent within their genetics while any other unique traits are dormant either non active or barely active enough to augment one or two physical qualities. But recall that in order for the perception gene to work the way it does, the trait must already exist within the genes of that person. Hence the reason pure-bloods have the highest percentage of gaining the trait and mixed bloods are cut down to a lower percentage, full bloods only being able to gain it if the gene was attained and passed on.
  
  Type UP revolves around both Half bloods, but also encompasses full bloods of other species, as well as, mixed bloods, excluding pure-blood humans with active Perception genes entirely. UP is an oddity in the genetics field, but it is still recognized as an actual thing. And this is what we mean:
  
  Person B is a full blooded Demon Weapon- both their parents are both Demon Weapons, and their lineage is all Demon Weapon. These individuals, would be unlikely to gain the Type 2 trait due to their family background. But because a Demon Weapon has magical properties due to having part of a Witch's soul it is possible to magically attain Type 2 upon becoming a Death Scythe and then passing on that trait attained to their children.
  
  This is just one example of Type UP. Half Bloods and mixed bloods as have already been explained generally have only the perception gene active to qualify for a Type 2, while other unique genes/traits are non-active. But in cases where a half blood's latent gene has a high percentage of being triggered into activity then it usually means one gene outclasses the other in presence, but the latent itself has a small chance of being awakened.
  <sup>N6:In cases where a half-blood or mixed blood's Perception Gene is triggered it occurs due to either extreme psychological, emotional, or physical stress. Even then, most cases the Perception Gene or any other unique gene (if available) doesn't even activate. Cases where it does activate are RARE and only happen if the latent Perception Gene has a good enough chance of being triggered.
  
  All these examples, where the Perception Gene is triggered (or other genes) through training, trauma, or stress are all prime examples of the UP Type Soul Perception.</sup>
  

  Summary

  
  The applications of a Type UP are akin to that of a Type 2 however their abilities and powers will or maybe limited depending on which exact gene is more potent and more present. Half-Bloods with both Weapon and Perception gene may have the Perception gene far more present than the Weapon or vice versa. In the case where the Weapon Gene is more present and the Perception gene is triggered, a Half Blood may just be unable to clearly perceive souls as well as a regular Type 2 might.
  
  In other rare cases a trigger has been known to be so powerful that it overpowers the more dominant trait slightly, and in order to slightly amend this intense training or some new form of clearance must occur to lessen the damage done that caused the latent gene to overpower the dominant one.
  
  In conclusion, Type UP is a genetic mishap that occurs only given the right percentages of a latent gene where that latent gene can be triggered to activate alongside the dominant gene. In few cases the latent gene can be triggered awaken through either training or some form of extreme stress that borders along the lines of soul crushing. In marginally most cases the latent gene is never triggered or activated even through training.
  
  Members of the Star Clan however figured out an unknown way around activating the latent gene but how exactly they knew is lost to old records and its last remaining survivor Black☆Star whom only knows a small percentage of how it was even accomplished. Both the Hoshi and Hoshino families, (cousins to the Star Clan), haven't shown this level of observation or skill to activate such a gene yet, but its theorized they may have a found a way.

  General Information

  Chain Resonance, Team Resonance, or Soul Wavelength Synchronization is a special kind of resonance that involves a team of Meisters and Weapons, matching their wavelengths with one another in order to empower each other. Generally meaning only beings capable of using Soul Manipulation can participate in this particular skill.
  

  
  

  
  

  Resonance Chain

  
  

  
  

  Process

  Chain Resonance, is an extremely difficult form of resonance to maintain, yet at the same time it gives individuals involved incredible boosts of power.
  
  When Chain Resonance occurs one of the top priorities between a Meister Weapon pair in matching their wavelengths with another group of Meisters and Weapons, is to maintain a steady wavelength between each other and themselves. Without maintaining a good balance between wavelengths, Chain Resonance can crumble completely and the effects from that crumble can literally repel individuals if their repulse from that reaction and their combined soul pressures is strong enough.
  
  Thus maintaining balance is important but it isn't key. Maintaining tunes between wavelengths aren't the absolute key to maintaining a Chain Resonance. The key component for Meister Weapon pairs to maintain balance, is to ensure that they all have a level of understanding with one another. Because if there are any underlying feelings that aren't addressed during resonance towards individuals in a group, then those ill feelings, intentions, or thoughts can topple the balance on the scale and disrupt as well as destroy a wavelength synchronization completely.
  
  The process in which a Chain Resonance is repelled due to beginner mistake or other outside factors, is called Resonance Repulse.
  

  
  _{N6: Resonance Repulse or Chain Dissonance, can cause a multiple Rejection chain link if it occurs too many times.}
  

  
  

  
  

  Chain Dissonance

  
  

  
  

  Important Mechanics of Chain Resonance

  • Individualism
    Each and every individual within a team of Meisters, Weapons, or even Mages/ magic users, is held responsible to maintaining a Chain Resonance. If one person is trying to bridge the gap between multiple souls in a team resonance in order to maintain the strength, that person no matter how good they are will eventually begin to feel a toll on their body and in worst cases, death could occur.
    
    Hence everyone in a team is held responsible. No one Meister or Weapon or Mage or person, can make up for the slack of the others. If someone is slowing the others down, dissonance can and will occur eventually even if one or two people are acting as the bridge.
    
    That's why it is also important to maintain and establish a balance and understanding among members. All of this is more up to you as a student, more so than up to your instructors or the academy. DWMA teaches its principles in a myriad of ways through on-field experience to class activity. If you decide not to put in the effort, well, that problem is yours.
    
  • Rapport
    As stated prior, connections are crucial to any resonance. Not just the personalities or co-operation is evaluated, but also the general amity students have with each other as well. Again, Faculty & Staff, as well as the Headmaster all play roles in seeing to it that students mingle with different people no matter what.
    
    But it is ultimately in the hands of students that decide how well these rapports end in the final results.

  • Type 2's focus on the dominance of the Perception Gene.
    
  • Most Type 2 users have unique ways in utilizing Soul Perception. Soul Perception generally relates to the 5 senses (taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing). It is often rare but certain users have unique ways of sensing the soul. Maya Devereux is a prime example.
    
  • Type 2 Soul Perception focuses on pure-blood humans; 100%. But it does not exclude Half-bloods like Maka Albarn, Morgenstern or Dark☆Star. It however focuses on people with only the Perception gene active.
    
  • Mixed blood, humans that range from half-blood to multiple mixed species/races, (i.e. Kensei Goki and Tazmuir V. Klovic) have small percentages in gaining the perception gene active if they possess a stronger unique trait. However this again depends on whether or not someone within their lineage is born with the Perception Gene.
    
  • Anyone can learn Type 1 Soul Perception so long as they can use Soul Manipulation.
    
  • Type UP, focuses on beings who have small percentages in gaining a recessive latent trait triggered. These people can have two, three, or even more genes active so long as those genes have a good enough percentage rate. Dark☆Star is a prime example.
    
  • It has never been scientifically proven that anyone has had more than two unique genes active of a mixed blood offspring, but theoretically it is possible.
    
  • Soul Signatures cannot be copied or mimicked perfectly. Each and everyone has its own feel, vibe, and sense that makes it unique and different from all others.
    
  • Users of Type 2 or Type UP, are able to perceive broader aspects of Soul Reading through the signature of a person's soul.
    
  • Every Soul Signature is different, even if it can't be perceived it is still there.
    
  • As long as a mage or magic user has learned Soul Manipulation they can perform some of the feats listed in other pages. However due to the magic and supernatural affinity often clashing in capabilities, not every supernatural ability will be accessible to a magic user just as the same could be said vice versa.

  What is Mana?

  
  

  
  
  
  
  General Information
  Mana, Aethar, or Life Energy is the pervasive existence of sentient energy that pervades every living being, thing, and creature. And it is through this, that certain beings, entities, and divinities are able to manipulate magic and utilize supernatural energy along with the multitudes of abilities that can be derived from mana and that branch itself.
  _{N1: It is also through this that a Kishin can achieve so much power.}
  
  
  
  

  Affinity

  To utilize magic or to become a Technician/Meister, one must have an affinity to Mana. However Mana comes in two known forms. One is Supernatural. The other is Magic.
  _{Note:Without an affinity to mana, one cannot utilize Soul Manipulation, become a Kishin or use magic. Period. Thus there are only two forms of mana that branch off into different forms of capabilities and applications.}
  
  These two forms are:
  

  1.Magic
  2.Supernatural Energy
  ​
  
  
  
  

  Mana & The Soul

  Mana and the Soul, are two separate things that play two major roles in the magical and supernatural realm. The Soul, is not part of Mana. Mana is not part of the soul. They are two separate things, that work together in deciding the abilities of an individual. Mana is a sentient force in which the Soul is the switch that activates the power that brings light into a room. With the soul, one can manipulate Mana.
  
  However mana itself, cannot be manipulated freely by any normal soul. As stated before, mana is a sentient force. Very few beings are able to take control of mana of their own accord. Shinigami themselves are one of the few examples of beings who have the power to take over mana and in some cases there are others who fall into this category as well.
  
  

  Manal Transition

  Manal Transition is the transfer or trading of one mana branch to another by using the intermingling branches from one bough to the other. It is believed so far, that only one set of mediate branches exist and they tie magic and supernatural together. Mana is perceived to have many unknown and many unexplored branches and in some cases one individual or certain individuals can force their way to one of them, as we've seen in the past. Doing so usually requires certain conditions to be met. And forcing one's way through usually leaves a small trail open or available for others.
  
  When one transitions or trades one mana branch for another; for example say a human who could use magic forces themselves to only use the supernatural without any magical mediums, they become trapped in the middle or in some cases become trapped in one branch like many born are.
  
  The only difference between someone who uses Manal Transition and a person who is unable to use other aspects of another branch, is that one person will be safe the other person will not.
  ​

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Philosophy

  Mana is believed to be like a tree with many branches. These branches are divided into four boughs of which I will only mention two.
  

  • Aethar
  • Animus

  
  These two boughs split into a myriad of branches and each branch has something to represent. For Animus or The Supernatural, every group of leaves touches on twigs represent a new form of the supernatural belonging to a different race or species. Every branch touches a different level. Some branches or twigs joint together are levels of their own, others that stand alone are higher forms of power that very few attain or are even born with. And then there are some branches that are the sturdiest of them all; these branches belong to the deities and to the Kishins.
  
  For Aethar, every branch represents a different form of magic. Every leaf represents a new level to attain. And like the supernatural, in some cases the higher you go the more power you will find. Some branches are weak and dangerous to cross on, some branches are sturdy and have been used by many. Some leaves are worn, torn, and almost entirely forgotten. And then there are branches that intertwine with the supernatural. These intermingling branches allow for new forms of mana to be discovered. New ways to utilize the wavelength. New ways to use magic.
  
  They lead to higher branches; sometimes its the branches of the True Gods and sometimes its the branches of the Kishin.
  

  
  
  
  
  Theories
  1.Many cultures and communities have different versions of their philosophy of mana. The most common belief is that mana exists everywhere and is around everyone.
  
  2.In the magic community it is commonly believed by some that the higher one's mana the greater one's affinity is. Whether that relates to heritage or both heritage and one's own affinity is debatable.
  
  
  
  Limits
  Magic has limits. Supernatural Energy has limits. There are somethings you can learn and then there are somethings you may not have the power to learn. As stated everyone's affinity to mana is different and how well they themselves can handle one branch out of the many is dependent on both their family genetics and their own affinity, but it is good to understand that both magic and the supernatural are, forces that grant power. And aren't easily tamed.
  
  
  
  

  Strong Magic vs Weak Magic

  
  Strong Magic simply refers to magic that is stronger than another's. Weak magic, is self-explanatory. When two individuals of either the same branch of magic of the same art or a different branch of another art clash, they may be equals but at the same time they may not.
  
  The person who has the stronger magic, will always overpower, cancel out, or diminish the quality of the one who has the weaker. In some magical duels, the weaker user can outwit the stronger, but in a match where magical spells collide, the duel is decided the moment the weaker is overpowered by the stronger.
  _{Note:In a Magical Showdown, there is something commonly known as a Magus Clash. This is where two spells collide and push back against one another.}
  
  Magus Clash
  A Magus Clash is where streams of spells collide with one another. For some races/species this is fatal because a clash of this sort requires focus and concentration. Movement of any sort could result in loss of focus and ultimate death or even cursing. For others, they are capable of small movement but nothing extreme.
  

  
  

  
  

  Example

  Magic Negation

  Certain creatures, have a resistance to magic. Some Mythics have a magical resistance that make it harder for Demon Weapons to kill or capture. Some beings or entities have a magical presence powerful enough that it renders most spells ineffective.
  
  The ways in which magic negation are still being studied, but it is generally understood that if you do face a being, be it beast or not that has this sort of resistance you should think very carefully of your next steps.

  General Information
  Supernatural Energy or Animus is defined as the connections an individual has to supernatural energy and the supernatural. These connections are what allow individuals to perform unique feats with Soul Manipulation, like Soul Force and Soul Empowerment, etc. With Supernatural Energy comes a numerous amount of possibilities depending on the affinities one has. The most well known connections are the one's Meisters and Demon Weapons have, outside of the Lycanthrope race.
  
  
  Supernatural Affinity

  Supernatural Affinity, is what differentiates a person who can perform Soul Manipulation from a regular individual. For a person to manipulate supernatural energy or perform the applicants of soul manipulation an individual needs to have been born from a relative who carried the affinity to manipulate supernatural energy to begin with. Or in some cases so long as one person in the family has it, it is very possible to be passed on.
  _{N3:Supernatural Affinity is sometimes called Animus.}
  
  In determining a person's supernatural affinity one method often used is generally determined by how strong their Soul Presence is but in practice, Soul Suppression was a skill developed to minimize attention to oneself after Lord Death created DWMA.
  
  The second means to determining a person's soul, is displayed by the soul itself. Unlike magic which relies on a source, a person's very soul is their source of power.
  
  

  Philosophy

  
  Supernatural energy, like magic is not to be trifled with, but at the same time it is very very flexible. A person is not restricted to certain levels of power, at least not completely and sometimes not always. Some people simply just have higher affinities and can thus reach higher levels quicker. While others have to work hard to achieve the levels they desire. As previously stated, mana is almost considered like a muscle. It has to be worked on before any fruit really bears.
  
  Some creatures have high affinities to supernatural energy, others have low affinities to one branch or another. And then there are entities with the innate ability to tap into powerful forms of mana, like Lord Death or even a Kishin when the right conditions are met.
  
  How affinities are decided is unknown except by the concept mana simply wills it. Through observation however what is known is that in some cases those with the right tuning to an affinity gain a spiritual mutations of the soul.
  

  
  

  Spiritual Mutations
  Some people with unique mana affinity tunings gain unique souls. These spiritual mutations are what these unique souls fall under. Not every person who has a high affinity however will have a unique soul. In some cases even weakly tuned souls could in theory by chance gain a spiritual mutation. But that itself depends on their affinities flexibility.
  
  However even if one has a spiritual mutation, that doesn't guarantee a person has limitless bounds of power waiting for them. In some cases, it could be quite the opposite. Which again is one of the reasons why mana is believed to have some form of sentience.
  ​

  Theories

  1.It is theorized that even if someone has a high affinity in the supernatural branch, it takes development and cultivation for their abilities to make an impact.
  
  Conjectures have been thrown that without proper training or proper practice, a person no matter how strong their soul is won't be able to achieve its true effects if their abilities are not exercised like a muscle. Hence the soul has often been considered a spiritual muscle that requires flexing from time to time. Not just physically, but mentally as well.
  
  2.It is believed that Mana mutations, occur to some people for a given reason or purpose. What that reason means is unknown and whether it is even important despite the rarity is debatable.
  
• 
  
  General Information
  Magic or Aethar, is the connection one has to magic. The stronger the connection one has to magic, the more powerful one can become. However it has been noted at the same time the greater the affinity one has towards magic the greater the Pull of Magic becomes.
  
  Witches or the Wiccan community, are the most known species most susceptible to the Pull of Magic if not possibly the only species susceptible to the Pull.. Elves, Pixies, Faeries, Dwarfs, etc and other beings that are within the magical community do not appear to fall into the pull like those within the Wiccan community do, if they even fall at all the Pull itself does not seem to be the main cause, at least as far as can be known. Why this is exactly, is still unknown but since Witches have rejoined earth and their hated ties with humans were somewhat mended, theories and deductions have been made.
  
  
  
  

  Magical Affinity

  Magic Affinity, is the connection one has to magic and the magical forces. Through this, one can perform magic and if a person has the affinity can also perform supernatural feats as well. The same can be said vice versa.
  
  With one's magical affinity comes the various levels within that magic. Unlike The Supernatural which is more flexible, magic has more leaves and is thus far more complicated. Some people can only go so far, especially if their heritage -but more importantly- their personal affinity is weak in the magical ways. Others have a flexible affinity that can go far enough to be considered strong or before they reach a blocking point they cannot overcome easily. And then there are those that force their way, through other means. By devouring souls and entertaining things we don't fully understand. Most beings who do this, end up as what we hunt: monsters and mock kishins. With enough time, that corruption can evolve them into a Kishin.
  
  
  

  Philosophy

  
  Every form of magic is believed to be derived from some sort of source. Unlike Supernatural Energy which uses the soul, magic derives its power from a source of some sort. It could be the earth, ancient relics, specially crafted magic items, minerals, or a pinata your grandmother cursed, whatever the case is all magic derives itself from some sort of source that has a earthly/spiritual bound connection with mana. It doesn't have to be physical as the wiccan community themselves don't derive magic from any physical source, as well as the humans that have recently been discovered to have magic affinities of their own.
  <sub>Important:It is a common belief amidst the magic community that magic has unseen channels, checkpoints or saved areas where magic is most potent. Invisible to the naked eye but capable of being sensed much like a person's wavelength.
  
  These channels, checkpoints or ancient relics that have powerful connections to magic pervade the world and in some cases are believed to empower certain areas far more than others.</sub>

  Earth Shaman

  
  

  General Information

  Gaining their magic from the earth itself, Earth Shaman are a culture that are heavily devoted to the caring of the land. It is often said by outsiders who visit their homes that the Earth Shaman are so in tune with the land they can distinguish various types of plants that are innocuous from those that are deadly and automatically learn that plants name and even origins.
  
  The culture is generally well known for having a habitat full of people that tend to some form of vegetation within their homes and lands. At the same time, there are certain groups within the Earth Shaman community known as the Traditionalists; families that were part of the Earth Shaman ways since the beginning of the culture's founding and have continued to remember, respect, and study their olden customs long since abandoned. It is these traditionalists within the Earth Shaman community that are most highly known for their competence in Shaman magic. And what makes them even more distinguishable, is their unique archaic marks.
  
  

  Magic Affinity

  Earth Shaman have an extraordinary affinity to the earth and a powerful connection to nature. Very few Earth Shaman's strangely enough have an element that actually relates to the Earth itself. It is unknown exactly as to why this is, but very few speculations have been made.
  
  Due to the uniqueness of an Earth Shaman's ability to hear nature and understand its words, Earth Shaman have been viewed as the ultimate trackers or even hunters, because the land, trees, plants and for some animals-- tell them. In some circumstances they are better than a Pecerptionist when it comes to tracking., however due to their general aversion towards violence-- most Earth Shaman, especially the more conservationists tend to avoid getting into anything involving true battle. The Traditionalists however, are an entirely different story.
  _{N4:Traditionalists were once traders of herbs, spices and vegetables before their issues with the wiccan community and problems with other magic communities in the past turned them to focus on a more protective lifestyle with their lands}.
  ​

  
  

  Traditionalists
  Interestingly enough, Traditonalists at their coming of age -13- gain a unique tattoo. No one really knows why this is exactly. And the details of the history behind it are very muddled, but that tattoo, has been known to give a traditionalist a sort of magical power boost whenever in use. Normally, despite having an element to a form of nature, most Earth Shaman aren't able to do that much offensively or even defensively with it. Not at least without necessary training and a decent instructor. Traditionalists however, once reaching the age where their mark appears, seem to separate from other Earth Shaman in this sense entirely. And in some cases these tattoos or markings have given a Traditionalist the ability to understand, see, or do things generally uncommon or difficult to attain for most other Earth Shaman almost as easily as it is for a Genius-Level Meister to wield any Weapon with ease.
  
  The Mark
  The Mark, is what Earth Shaman prefer to call the colloquial tattoo within their culture. It is not a normal tattoo by any means, but has been identified as power granted or bestowed on Traditionalists whose families have maintained their respect and reverence to the old ways of their founders even as they themselves advance forward.
  
  This Mark is different for every Earth Shaman. Very few have similar patterns and many have different meanings/images which in most cases relate heavily to an element or ability of the owner. As stated earlier, Earth Shaman rarely every have those within their own culture that have affinities to the actual element of Earth despite their ironic relationship with land, but in some cases few Shaman have been known to gain some abilities related to land solely thanks to this unique mark.

  Wiccan Community

  
  

  General Information

  Witches or the Wiccan Community were once and in some ways still are, the foes of the human race. Since the Treaty of Peace started in 2018/19-2049 and the Treaty of Reconciliation in 2051,the Wiccan community has undergone many changes of which the likes they never thought they'd endure.
  
  Due to their abnormal propensity and weakness to The Pull of Magic, the wiccan community on order of Maba's most well known wishes, sought for ways to quell the more destructive side they harbored or aimed to turn it towards doing less harm and some good. One of the main reasons the H.A.W.C was founded by Maba in the first place was to give young witches and those also suffering from the pull a chance to engage in something that could aid them from destruction. In fact since Witches rejoined earth from Maba's realm, some (particularly those of the younger generation) have found less of a tug towards the Pull's ways. However this still does not change the fact that even now, a majority of witches and even on extremely special cases those that share their blood, struggle from the Pull's call if they themselves have not already fallen victim to it.
  
  

  Magic Affinity

  The Wiccan community, unlike most magic communities achieve their magic through pools, fountains, and strong channels of magic. It was once theorized by a Sorcerer that magic wasn't the only thing that played a role in the witches and their struggle against the Pull, but rather there was far more to it than they were aware of.
  
  Members of the Wiccan community, particularly those with powerful affinities to magic all draw their mana from these ley channels that act like the veins of the universe's mana. Magic affinity itself -the power one can attain through their connections with mana- just like supernatural affinity, is not solely affected by blood like the Perceptionist gene or Wavelength is, but is heavily influenced by the level of mana one has. Some have naturally strong affinities to one form of magic but are weaker in using it in other arts. Some have strong affinities to other forms of magic but are weaker in application. Others lack certain connections that allow them to use magic adequately, then there are those who have no connections whatsoever. The list goes on, and on, but to simply- just as Meister and Weapons have varying wavelengths and varying abilities, so do those who manipulate the arts of magic.
  
  

  The Pull

  While Wiccan still favor an inclination in the Pull, their views on it have changed greatly compared to their times within the Witch's Realm.
  
  

  The Past
  In the past, witches who didn't have a destructive drive were outcast or excommunicated from within their society. It was considered wrong or almost a sin itself to not have a destructive drive of some sort in some manner, as this was one of the many reasons why some witches could grow to be very powerful or even be as dangerous as they were. In many ways before the reintegration with humanity, witches were at their worst and finest when they favored the Pull. Since their integration, some things have changed.
  
  2018-2049
  The Pull, even after they were starting to be integrated back into the world, still played a heavy influence on Witches in general. One of the first few problems that started not long after the Peace Treaty was enacted was trying to keep these destructive desires under control. And one of these methods of doing that was by allowing witches to go to town on DWMA's targets.
  
  On some occasions witches themselves would hold events of some sort where they would engage in hunts of certain targets of other magical communities for the sake of merely hunting and killing. But as the future has shown us, not even these methods were a sure deal to prevent the Pull's call on the weak-minded.
  
  Present
  After the death of Witch Queen Maba, many aristocrats within the Wiccan community, found disgust in those that allowed destruction and senseless murder to take over their minds. Hypocritical right? Some of these 'aristocrats' were the very same ones who called for humanity's death after Maba's murder was announced to their community. In many ways had it not been for Maba's council, humans would be at war with Witches yet again.
  
  Since Renegade's antics, views towards those who allow themselves to be submissive to the pull instead of dominate to it, are viewed to be nothing more than insects. According to some witches words. The hate for the Pull is difficult to describe, while many witches in the community cannot forgive how the Pull was a cause that killed one of their most powerful authoritative figures, some simply cannot abandon it.
  
  

  The Abandoned

  The abandoned, are witches who have fallen to the Pull. Witches who freely allow the Pull to subvert them are considered weak-willed, pathetic, and nothing more than cretin that deserve to be wiped off the phase of the earth. This has been proven especially so, since the death of Witch Queen Maba.
  
  In rare cases those that do fall to it and are able to manipulate it to their own will. And it is them that are looked upon with respect. There have only been a handful of witches who have fallen to the Pull and done as such successfully without becoming nothing more than ticking time bombs of destruction. Some examples are:
  

  Name	Status
  Arachne Gorgon	Deceased
  Witch Queen Maba	Deceased
  Witch Commander Sasaraa	Alive
  Medusa Gorgon	Deceased
  Shaula Gorgon	Deceased

  
  

  The Treacherous

  Rogue Witches are what the Wiccan refer to as Treacherous. And in the witch community, especially in the magic community, all Rogue are considered if not less than criminal scum people completely worthy of trial and punishment. Many agree they should receive justice. Some wiccan however, feel very differently.
  
  Because it was Renegade, who convinced the U.N. in the first place to enact a sneak attack on Queen Maba during a diplomatic meeting that ended in her untimely death, groups that were loyal and still are in some ways to Maba, declared death on all supporters of Renegade. While the Third Eye keeps order and maintains justice against those that do wrong against humans or other innocents as Magical Protectors, the community itself lusts for the end of all Rogue. And some don't care how you are affiliated. All that matters to them is that you are, therefore you die.
  
  Surprisingly enough, The Third Eye -the ones most infuriated and nearly cancelled the treaty with DWMA- are the ones who try to keep everything in order maintain a level-head and while most of the council has long since fallen to the Pull, they don't allow it to heavily affect their judgement. In many ways, the three days the council took off after Maba's death was declared as something to be thankful for. It gave them time to cope with reality.​

  Enchanter Community

  
  

  General Information

  Enchanters, Puppeteer Engineer, or The Puppet Crafter are believed to have not originally originated as magic users of natural birth, but regular humans who created the E-Gloves. However to be an Enchanter, one must have an affinity to magic in order to operate the gloves. A Demon Weapon would have no problem with this as their origins stem from magic itself, but in the case of a regular human they would be required to seek gloves already crafted with powerful gems to power the magic device.
  
  Most Enchanters take a year to learn the crafting process and mechanics of how it works to craft a puppet. Maintaining and care on that puppet usually follow.
  
  

  Magic Affinity

  Most enchanters, derive their magic from the E-Gloves their ancestors crafted. It is said the E-Gloves, tap into the mana within the soil, minerals, and plant life to allow an enchanter to manipulate, mold, and shape their puppets.
  
  A majority of Enchanters do not have an elemental affiliation. In fact to be an enchanter one doesn't really need an affiliation to any element as the gloves are designed to mold certain elements into certain puppets.
  _{Sidenote:Buying E-Gloves will cost you greatly, especially if you don't have an affinity or any inherent relation to magic in the first place.}
  
  However there are those born with elemental attributes and with these attributes, some can craft unique puppets of their own.
  
  

  E-Gloves

  The E-Gloves, are a device associated with the Enchanter community. Most formal Enchanters born to the community, get the gloves in their childhood and begin learning the mechanics of Enchanter magic through it.
  
  Most informal Enchanters, people who are interested and learn the magic from the community and have no real familial relation or background to it, have to buy them.
  
  The E-Gloves, are a complicated yet firm device. To generally create puppets requires an understanding in magical Transmutation and Animation. Most Enchanters take a year to understand the basics, which in a month allow them to create smaller golems or clay puppets.
  
  Performing realistic puppetry, takes years to master. Usually about 5 at best for a recent graduate to get a realistic version of a person out. Sometimes longer depending on the person, sometimes shorter depending on their understanding and just how powerful their magical affinity is.
  
  

  Arachnophobia Wars

  Formal Enchanters from the Loew Village are commonly known nowadays, as the Spider's Servants. A reference to their past of serving the Wiccan Sorceress Arachne. Due to this, Enchanters within other nations have more or less distanced themselves from the people of Loew and very few ever really appreciate the association to the group.
  
  

  • Post Arachnophobia
    After Arachnophobia was rendered defunct, DWMA placed Loew Village under regional quarantine by Lord Death's orders. Most of their E-Gloves were forcefully stripped and destroyed and any equipment they had in making new ones was forcefully seized.
    
    The people of Loew Village and any associates related to their act of betrayal after decades of neutrality, lost all their materials that made them Enchanters and their punishment continued even after Death the Kid took over for his father.
    
  • Post Kishin War-Present
    After the Kishin War and during the re-installment of Wiccans back into earth, Kilik Rung, Sid Barrett, and Micky Chang (A recently transferred Eastern Russiasia Teacher), went to Loew Village to determine whether the denizens of the village were ready to talk about negotiations. While the denizens of Loew were ready to talk, they had other ideas in how that 'talk' should go. It mainly involved, torturing the DWMA agents and finding out where their devices were.
    
    Ultimately, this and the senseless bloody fight that followed didn't help things but made affairs worse. The Enchanter's punishment started by his father was extended and five years later, after multiple failed attempts Lord Symmetry would find that some of Loew's inhabitants had began disappearing, despite enchantments being set up to prevent them from leaving. To where? Not even they entirely know. But rumors of cults having been formed are only an arm's length away.

  
  
  
  
  Applications

  The ability to use magic, stems from one's concentration and focus. In order to use magic one must have concentration and a clear understanding of what they want the magic they call upon to do. Without a good understanding of how a spell or any other magical art works, that incantation may not be executed or may not even work the way one expects.

  Magic
  

  
  ​
  
  
  Theories
  1.Magic is believed to be derived from a source. All mana is believed to come from somewhere and those that use magic are believed to have their own sources and beliefs in where they draw their power from.
  
  These beliefs vary depending on the country, nation, race, and culture but the most commonly known belief is that magic exists everywhere and that anyone with the right skill can gain some form of access to it.
  
  2.It is heavily believed that both magic and the supernatural are interrelated. Some believe certain aspects of magic can be performed by supernaturalists if they have the background and heritage to do it. Others believe that genes are irrelevant and it is more related on one's ambitions.
  
  3.Magic is universally believed by all magic users to be a sentient, powerful energy. Like Supernatural Energy, many believe magic is not to be trifled with lightly. As very few in the end ever really make it back alive when they do.
  
• 
  
  General Information
  The Pull of Magic is often called "The Pull." Like Supernatural has Madness, Magic has The Pull. The Pull of Magic, is a main branch of mana and the third of four branches. But unlike this bough, not only is it a theorized separate branch from the other two but its twigs brush up and invade some of the spaces of Magic's branch entirely.
  
  The Pull simply put corrupts an individual, but unlike Madness which can corrupt both a person's mental and physical essence, the Pull of Magic only corrupts the mental. It does not warp one's physical form like Madness does. It warps one's morale. Their reasoning, their ideals, their beliefs-- all of it is slowly and gradually corrupted and it is only intensified when emotions play into the mix, driving them to commit misdeeds that only get worse and worse the more they give in. And the more that corruption festers, the more The Pull becomes addictive and the more it draws one in.
  
  The Pull, is best described as a drug among those that don't understand how it works or how it feels. It works its way into your mind, wiggles its way into your thoughts, and convinces you that these ideals these darker feelings are just another side of you. That you want this. That you need this. That they are a part of you. A hidden side, which no one really sees or you yourself really know. And in certain cases of the past, this has been proven true.
  
  
  
  

  Groups The Pull Effects
  
  

  Witches

  
  

  How It Works

  • Magic
    The Pull's most core influence, is magic. Witches who use magic are affected by the Pull, but strangely enough it does not affect other races or communities that use magic. No one knows why this is, and no one really gets why things are like that. The only thing to go off of, have been theories. And some of these speculations say that perhaps the number one reason Wiccan members are so heavily effected by a destructive drive is because unlike all the other communities that use some sort of medium, they don't. Unlike creatures who have some sort of unique resilience to the strong forces of magic, Wiccan's go about using magic without a means of 'protection' so to speak. They don't take shortcuts, they plunge into the pure thing. They don't use items, they don't use gloves, they don't weave signs or arcane ruins, and they don't use wands. They perform magic like its a part of them. And some believe that this very cultural habit, is the main reason why many wiccan fall prey to their destructive mistress and why its impossible for them to escape.
    
  • Age
    At a certain age, Wiccan are liable to the Pull of Magic. In their infancy to childhood, the pull is non-existent and on very rare occasions certain forms of magic provide a means of protection against the Pull's call, shielding some entirely. But very few witches are ever born with those forms of unique magic.
    
    By their early adolescence a pure-blooded witch begins showing signs of the Pull. The signs always vary depending on the individual and they are never really fixed to one thing, but the signs become clear as the stronger the pull becomes the more one's personality changes.

  Mixed Races & Half-Bloods

  
  

  How It Works

  • Magic
    Not all Half-Bloods or mixed races within the Wiccan race can use magic. At the same time not every person who can use magic is a witch or a sorcerer. Druids, archmages, soothsayer's they all exist and they all can use magic, but not all Half-Bloods can. Some, are born with the ability to tap into magic but cannot use it either due to a forsaken desire to learn or due to them not having the affinity to begin with. Others have the potential, but never pick it up. And then there are those whose magic can come in the mixed mana form of Supernatural Magic.. An example of a Supernatural Magic user, is Crona Gorgon. Their resonance abilities were documented as being exceptionally unique and the mannerism of their soul energy based attacks follows this path as well.
    _{N5:Only beings born to a heritage that mixes of supernatural magic or one that mixes the two affinities can generally have an affinity to Supernatural Magic in terms of birth.
    Important:The only beings, capable of utilizing Supernatural Magic without being born to it, are True Gods, Kishin, and abnormally powerful entities.}
    
    While there are those that can use a mixture of both Supernatural Energy (SE), and Magic, there are some mixed races who can only use one, and depending on their affinity and heritage may be unable to become a Meister/Weapon at all. These types of users are individuals who have a stronger connection to magic that virtually wipes out any connection they may have had with Animus.
    _{N6:Users of this caliber are extremely rare, just as Mixed Wiccan who can perform magic at all are also rare.}

  1. Is Supernatural Magic.
  2. Is Unus Magus
  ​
  
  
  
  

  Supernatural Magic

  Supernatural Magic is a mixture of unique mana between two branches. It, allows an individual to still utilize aspects of Soul Manipulation while at the same time still utilize aspects of magic capability they inherited from within their family line.
  
  

  Applications

  The degrees in which Magic can be applied varies from person to person . But in order to use Supernatural Magic, one has to have an understanding of both the supernatural energy as well as magic. Without this, results can always very from amendable to disastrous.
  
  Due to the vast list of applications and capabilities we'll only be giving a few examples of the most commonly known ones Meisters and Technicians outside of the Magi curriculum may face in their missions.

  General Information
  Madness is the fourth and final metaphorical branch in the tree of mana. It like the Pull is separate from the Supernatural, but unlike the Pull branch which borders on the sick, the Madness branch shifts in between.
  
  A concept often thrown around is that Madness in our metaphorical branch is connected to The Pull of Magic. It is believed that the Pull, is actually a weaker bough that splits from Madness's branch and invades the branch of Magic's space. However this is merely just a metaphor for your understanding.
  
  
  Definition

  Madness is defined as a force that exists throughout the world. It is believed that every living being is born with their own affinity to Madness, but it is also believed that Madness itself has variants and different forms just as the other boughs have their other applications and forms.
  
  It is thought that the farther one goes down the Madness bough, the more gnarled, twisted, and sickly those twigs and branches become. It is through this that some have made the assumption that because of the way Madness seems to affect individuals in so many forms-- then the branches of Madness must also touch and invade the space of not just one branch, but all the other 3 main branches of mana's tree as well.
  ​
  Forms of Madness
  Everyone has a certain affinity to Madness that they are born with, hidden away in their souls. Some are sensitive to Madness' call. Others are sensitive to other forms of Madness. Then there are people with high sensory abilities that make them even more liable than the average person. Whatever the case is, everyone has a certain affinity to the gnarled branches of Madness, some are weaker, others are resilient, and there are few immune.
  
  For the Wiccan, Madness only seems to worsen The Pull to a point where they aren't even rational. For others, Madness brings out the darker thoughts kept locked away.
  
  
  Types

  
  

  Divinely

  
  Divine Madness, stems from the Madness wavelength one exudes and the influence it holds. A Diety's Level is extremely powerful and capable of spreading across entire nations and even the whole planet if allowed. They are virtually absolute with little methods of countering as well as no beings (except for a select few) are truly impervious to this level of a Madness Wavelength. These kinds of Wavelengths give their Madness a specific, swaying effect and are born from the existence of an individual or the rare cases where a person ascends to such a level. These levels of Madness Wavelength are exclusive only to the True Gods or Great Old Ones.
  

  Kishin

  Kishin Level Madness, is brought into existence when a being dangerously close to becoming a Kishin or a being that has surpassed the needs to become a Kishin is born.
  
  

  Development Stages

  To become a Kishin, there are two known observed separate stages.
  
  

  • 1.Demon
  • 2. Mock Kishin

  _{Note: Will be discussed in a separate chapter}
  
  Kishin Level Madness, surpasses what would be considered normal standards of human madness and can reach divine levels of madness as well as rival that of a deity's own madness wavelength.
  
  

  High Level

  High Level Madness belong to certain individuals who emit a powerful Madness wavelength. These wavelengths are capable of being felt across one city to another or even the country at its highest. Not all High Level Madness wavelengths have a swaying effect in the same way but they all have some sort of influence in some manner or form.
  
  With a High Level affinity to Madness some are capable of gaining an immunity to other forms of madness as theirs cancels out another's. However compared to a Kishin or Deity, High Levels are still just children.
  

  Average Level

  Average Level Madness, belongs to those who have a normal level of Madness. Humans, elves, dwarfs, giants, etc; these are your average beings who fall under the Average Level of Madness, with the few exception of those having a slightly higher madness sensitivity than others. Every person in the world at the very least, has a tiny amount of Madness resting within them, due to this no one person is immune to madness lest you be a God, a powerful entity, or a Kishin.
  
  A Madness Wavelength of any level (Godly, Kishin, or High) can sway this affinity and magnify another's madness easily, with higher levels being more effective.

  General Information
  Evil Humans are also commonly known as The Corrupted however the term itself varies from country to country, media to media. The term 'evil human' is loosely used to define a number of beings within the homogenize species that fall under the necessary requirements of this term, (i.e. Dwarfs, Elves, Demon Weapons, Werewolves , Humans etc etc ). But it has also been used to describe other beings outside of the homogeneous race, used for those who fall under this definition as well. An Evil Human, has one definition-- a person who's soul state no longer fits the defines of normalcy but has in fact been corrupted.
  
  
  Speculation & Theories

  Much like Madness, discussed in an earlier chapter. We do not know entirely how Evil Humans are formed or how they come to be. But what we do have is facts from observations of phenomenon.
  

  • Fact #1: Evil Humans are as the name implies, human and only Human. An Evil Human starts out as a normal human, whether they are connected to the supernatural or not, magic or not, is irrelevant. An Evil Human starts human, but becomes something more.

  • Fact #2: Evil Humans are born through corrupted energy, assimilated from heinous acts.
  
  
  
  

  The EH Theory

  Ephine Haggard a dwarf scholar and expert in the field of Magic Theory, Ephine Haggard created the EH Theory in 2019. A theory that not only debunked multiple concepts and beliefs people had accumulated over the years but also a theory that held most credibility based off what had been researched and studied in relation to Demons, Kishin, and Mock Kishin. The EH Theory, focuses on the Ephine's observations and conclusion on various footage captured over years of different agents battling.
  
  

  
  Q: What is a Evil Human? And how, does one form?
  
  Evil Humans are of the worst filth our world has to offer. Filthy, despicable cretins they are that do nothing but feed off the mystical energy our world has to give and in doing so, they do not convert it to energy that you Meisters and Weapons or that we Mages use. Instead they absorb it, just like a greedy little sponge on your kitchen counter soaking in rogue water across the board.
  
  Evil Humans, do not use the energies we are so lucky to manipulate in the same way you or I do. They do not use mana in its neutral but purest form. They do not use magic conventionally and cannot cast spells, they do not use the supernatural and cannot see but sense souls, what they can do is absorb these energies, but only by committing one act: a sin.
  
  What do I mean by this? Well...that is complicated to answer. To put it simply I am one who believes in those old theorists who once said, "Mana is sentient!". Hard to believe for theorists out there, yes I'd assume so. But there is no doubt in my mind, that a Evil Human is born by absorbing a mixture of corrupted energy from the fountains of both magic and the spiritual.
  
  Why both? Well...why not?
  
  Some of you have fought Evil Humans, Demons, and even strong Mock Kishins before. One thing they all have in common, is a physical mutation or mutations, that gives them abilities that exceed that of the average being. Magic, can be used for multiple purposes, be it trifle or laborious. The Spiritual energy most meisters and weapons use, can be used to identify a species or race, tell the future, and exceed mortal bounds just as magic can.
  
  By committing heinous, unforgivable acts repeatedly, a living being consistently exposed to either supernatural or magical energy and the main cause of such heinous acts becomes a target for negative mana and thereby becomes a medium for that mana to accumulate. Wherein alterations, mutations, and behavioral changes occur.
  
  Where we mages have our wands, sigils, chants, mediums, and spells, just as you Meisters and technicians have your mediums, herbs, and souls that act as the foundation for your powers, I believe an Evil Human is a more pure form of the two energies mixed together over a gradual process of time. Steadily becoming more and more unstable, until finally that human evolves from all that corrupted energy and becomes Corrupted.
  
  From there, it's rather simple to become a Demon. Simply continue accumulating corrupted energy by committing more crimes or tapping it right from the source if possible, then it's only child's play for that Demon to evolve into a Kishin.
  
  

  
  ​
  
  
  Trivia
  • Evil Humans do not emit a Madness Wavelength and cannot emit one either.
  • Evil humans are made from corrupted energy and 'evolve' into Demons when no physical mutations no longer occur
  • Only Evil Humans that have absorbed enough corrupted energy from the magical side gain the ability to eat 'pure' mortal souls. This ability stays with them through evolution and gives them a faster chance at becoming a Kishin
  • Evil Humans gain enhanced abilities once they have evolved from their human form.
  • The abilities of an Evil Human varies from person-to-person.
  • All Evil Humans have slightly different appearances in comparison to their human selves. An example would be having a unique skin tone such as a light shade of blue around the eyes, neck and arms.
  • The more an Evil Human taps into their corrupted energy, the more that corrupted energy affects them.
• 
  
  General Information
  
  Demons are not to be confused with the supernatural creature, daemon. The two are completely different and not at all the same thing.
  
  

  What is a demon?

  A demon is the second stage of an Evil Human. Demons are what Omegas and Elites in the One Star rank hunt along with very low class rank Mock Kishins.
  
  
  
  

  Abilities

  All demons have a few set of common abilities outside of the ones unique to their transformations. These abilities translate below.
  

  • Supernaturally Dense Tissue: User's body-tissue, skin, muscles, bones, etc. is extremely dense/solid, allowing them to withstand harmful strains on the body such as crushing weights, impacts, pressures, changes in temperature, etc. They gain enhanced levels of strength and stamina, this is possible because of how hard their body has become, allowing them to resist tearing a muscle and/or their bones shattering easily.

  
  

  • Enhanced Endurance
    
  • Supernatural Strength

  _{Note: These vary among demons.}
  
  
  

  Demon Intelligence

  The stronger a Evil Human comes the more corrupted energy they absorb. But what does that do to a Demon's intelligence?
  
  It is a known fact, that Evil Humans, still retain certain levels of their human intellect till they evolve into their second stage as Demon's. In every other case, demons have been known to diminish in intellect and cognitive thought process greatly. However, this does not mean all demons become ravenous, rampaging monsters. To simplify, let's separate demons into two groups.
  
  

  • Talino (Filipino word for "Intellect or Knowledgeable")
  • Sordo (Spanish word for "Dull")

  
  

  Talino Demons

  Talino Demons are demons that maintain their intelligence. These demons are different from Sordo Demons, who lack the sense and capability to adapt and reason, where Talino Demons can adapt, observe, and think in varying degrees but in ways that make them exceptionally dangerous on the field.
  
  Behavioral Pattern
  Demons from the Talino group (named by Philippine cognitive researcher Nicole Garcia), have the ability to adapt to their situations over time and can adapt with their environment also. These demons, not only exhibit signs of intelligence but the rare few that are capable of displaying this subtlety are the ones in particular that are the most dangerous. They do not display as animistic or bloodthirsty tendencies as their siblings in the Sordo group but that can vary and isn't something to be relied on in actual combat.
  
  Two Talino's are very well just as likely to work with each other for a brief period in which they sense danger is afoot or a confrontation has been had. Talino's are very capable of working with each other when the situation requires it, and just as capable of leaving the other to fend for themselves if it means a better chance at their own survival.
  
  Combat Pattern
  Talino Demons are classified for being swift, heavy hitters, quick strikers, or environmental manipulators. Sometimes, it could be a combination of one or the other, sometimes it's a mixture of the two. Talino's are best known for ensuring their opponents receive fatal blows that incapacitate them in the case they are fighting more than a pair of worthy opponents. This is done to diminish the numbers against them, and increase the chances of their own survival.
  
  These demons, will not hesitate to use their surroundings in battle. Throwing rocks, flipping cars, running into a crowd and flinging people, these demons use anything and everything at their disposal to ensure their own survival and will do whatever it takes to survive, to the point of even fleeing. And if there is a chance they do know their chances of survival are slim, they will not hesitate to take their opponent, civilian or any ally life, with them.
  
  

  Sordo Demons

  SordoDemons are demons who lack the intellect to adapt to combat based scenarios and tight pinches like their siblings of the Talino class. Sordo Demons, (named by Frederick Fernández) are demons evolved from Evil Humans who have in essence lost a majority of their intellect and function based off primitive negative desires and corrupted feral instinct.
  
  Sordo's are actually just as capable as working with each other, just as Talino's are. While Sordo's lack most of the intellect they once had as humans they are not dumb. Something rookie's often mistake.
  
  Behavioral Pattern
  Demons of the Sordo class, lack the cognitive thought process and reasoning to adapt to their situations. They basically charge into a situation but hunt like a predator. When confronted, a majority of the time if they sense that they are outranked, they will flee. This however varies as well, as not all flee and some may actually attack upon confrontation.
  
  Combat Pattern
  Sordo Demons have no strategical combat pattern that has been recorded as of late. They have their own unique fighting styles, yes that is true. But they do not have any specific way in which they utilize this expertly in battle like some Talino's might. They focus on utilizing their unique abilities most of the time, where a Talino would preserve those moves for necessary situations.
  ​
  
  
  Trivia
  • A Demon is the second and sometimes the final stage of a Evil Human.
    
  • Few Demons ever become a Mock Kishin
    
  • All Demons have unique abilities akin to their transformations
    
  • Omegas & Elites of the One Star rank hunt Demons
• 
  
  General Information
  Mock Kishins are akin to Kishin. A Mock Kishin is a being born from the consumption of pure souls and pure souls only. Mock Kishin exhibit Madness Wavelengths where as Evil Humans and Demons, do not and are unable to do so. The only difference between a Mock Kishin and a Kishin, is that a Kishin outranks a Mock Kishin in pure strength, power, speed, and wavelength.
  
  
  
  

  Madness Wavelength

  Mock Kishins have a Average to Weak madness wavelengths. They do not possess madness wavelengths that could completely overpower another person's senses but their wavelengths have the ability to cause influences, errors, illusions, and even hallucinations depending on the strength of that Mock Kishin.
  
  A Mock Kishin's madness wavelength, grows with the more mortal souls it consumes. You're probably wondering what I mean by mortal soul since I've thrown this term around a lot. What I mean by a mortal soul is that a Mock Kishin consumes, human or otherwise souls. Souls that belong to regular beings, these are souls that DWMA forbids Weapons from consuming. And these are the souls that can corrupt a being and create a Mock Kishin if they have the power to consume one.
  
  

  Birth of a Mock Kishin

  A Mock Kishin can only be born by consuming mortal souls. These souls, grant unimaginable power, but grant an equal amount of corrupted energy/mana. So much so that it literally corrupts an entire person's being, physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is precisely this reason and the morality of doing such an act, that Lord Death forbade the possibility of Weapons consuming mortal souls.
  
  Note: Demons that have the ability to consume souls, can become Mock Kishins.
  
  
  

  Birth of a Kishin

  A Kishin is born after a Mock Kishin has eaten 200 mortal souls. Just as a Death Scythe is born after eating 99 Evil Souls and One Magical Entity's soul. Discussion on Soul Consumption will be discussed in a later chapter. Just know that for a Kishin to exist, 200 mortal souls must be consumed.
  ​
• 
  
  
  
  

  General Information

  
  

  
  Kishins are the final form of a Mock Kishin and the greatest threat to the world. A Kishin is a being born from the result of having feasted on 200 pure mortal souls, and in the process achieves insane bounds of power and a new wavelength known as the Madness Wavelength. With this wavelength a Kishin can utterly throw countries or even the globe into disarray by using only their wavelength to sway the minds, personalities, and thoughts of a mortal.
  
  

  History

  The first Kishin known to the world emerged over 800 years ago during the era of the Eight Shinigami Legions. According to history the story of the birth goes as following: A meister once came face to face with an opponent in battle. An opponent who matched this meister in every way that said meister was said to have feared for his very life. Afraid that he was going to die, this meister as we know by the name Asura,sought more power so that he could overcome his fear. By doing this, he broke the first law of the Shinigami; to never take the 'pure' mortal soul of a living being and then fed that soul to his Weapon partner. Thus, Asura became the first generation Kishin after he too swallowed his Weapon whole and took Valjra's power for his own.
  
  

  Types of Kishin

  
  
  
  

  • Newborn Kishin
  • True Kishin

  Raw Power

  According to Lord Symmetry himself, a True Kishin, like Asura has a level of power that matches that of a True God or a Great Old One. While a newborn Kishin has the power to outmatch several nation armies, survive mortal or fatal blows, shrug off explosions with ease, and even survive in the vacuum of space.
  
  Abilities
  
  
  
  

  • Immortality: A Kishin cannot be killed by any known means.
  • Divine Madness Wavelength: A Wavelength that has the ability to complete cover the world and affect everyone in it.
  • Absolute Condition
  • Invulnerability
  • Invincibility
  • Divine Empowerment

  And these are just a few that we know of what a Kishin possesses.
  
  

  Known Kishin

  Chrona Gorgon & Ragnarok: Is a second generation Kishin. Unable to achieve Kishinhood as swiftly as they had intended, with Ragnarok's aide Chrona became the first newborn Kishin to become merged with the First Kishin Asura, then a True Kishin with the aide of Eibon's artifact; BREW. Chrona is renown for heinous crimes against humanity, but a noble sacrifice in which they still fulfill to this day; having kept Asura sealed up on earth's moon for the past 45 years.
  
  Chrona possessed the Madness of Affection, (sometimes crudely referred to the Madness of Boobs ). It is said by one of their closest friends that Chrona's madness adapted into this form due to the bizarre relationship they shared with their mother, the despised witch responsible for Asura's revival- Medusa Gorgon. Chrona's Madness remains ineffective to us here on Earth, and it has been theorized this is due to the usage of BREW, keeping all the madness both Kishin exhibit ensnared within the black dome that seals them all.
  
  Kishin Asura: Asura is revered as the god of all Kishin and the most powerful Kishin to ever exist and ever be. Son of Lord Death, brother of Lord Symmetry, Asura was renown over 8 centuries ago for being the most skilled meister amongst the Eight Legions as well as the most powerful. Fear, is the Madness Asura is most renown for and wields masterfully. Despite the fact that the Kishin War against him years prior occurred in a one sided fight, Asura is still renown for his sheer power, strength, combat prowess, and skill.
  
  
  

  Madness Wavelength

  A kishin's madness wavelength has the ability to increase the madness wavelength in a mortal, ten fold. Ascension into the status of a True Kishin, is the same as ascension into the status of a deity. True Kishin, such as Asura and Chrona, have the power to tear apart countries overtime with just their mere presence. The wavelength of a kishin is in fact that infectious and that deadly. Soul Perceptionists especially, are the ones most susceptible to a Kishin's wavelength, while the few that hold Anti-Magic and Anti-Madness Wavelengths, are the few capable of holding off a Kishin's madness for a short period of time.​

  General Information
  
  Soul Consumption is the process in which a soul is consumed and therefore absorbed. Only beings with exceptionally powerful magic or unique qualities may consume a soul and absorb power from it.
  

  
  

  
  

  Soul Consumption

  
  
  Facts
  Soul Consumption is not a common ability outside of the Demon Weapon race. It is a rare and unique ability brought on by Arachne's intermingling in creating the Demon Weapon race. The only beings capable of performing soul consumption and absorbing the soul or simply absorbing a soul are:
  
  • Demon Weapons
  • Corrupted Mana Mediums
  • Weapon Gene Carriers
  • Powerful Magic or Supernatural Entities
  • True Gods
  • True Kishins
  • Newborn Kishins
  • Mock Kishins
  • Unique Demons/Evil Humans (Those with the ability to consume souls)
  
  
  AMP
  Soul Consumption / Soul Absorption, enhances the consumer's abilities by a 1/2 a fraction of what they were. The absorption of a soul may take time for the abilities or enhancement it grants to kick in, but this varies from being to being. For a Kishin however, results tend to be instantaneous with the powers gained, doubled or even tripled from what they originally were.
