Channeling Arts

Channeling

Today’s topic is Channeling. In Mundus RPG Channeling is one of our main features. Channeling is the art of controlling one’s life force, Genki, in order to enhance one’s body for short durations or to manipulate one’s surroundings with pure energy. Concept of Genki is quite similar to concepts such as Ki, Chi, Chakra etc.

The color and feel of the Genki are individual. The color is usually a shade or mix of the three primary colors. This color is almost never pure white or black and colors such as brown and gray are also very rare. The color of the Genki is inheritable. Color of the child’s Genki is usually mix of her parents Genkis or if one of the parents is a strong channeler or has a very rare colored Genki it usually passes to the child almost unchanged.

Channeling has always been a known art, but on the plane of Mundus it was almost completely lost and forgotten during the Cataclysm. Roughly thousand years ago Lady Ryusaki Ume taught Channeling to the founders of Genkaisha. From there it took hundred years or so for Channeling to spread across Tentaika. Considerably later Channeling also spread to Aleria, however it has never truly seen wider use there.

Self-Channeling

Self-Channeling is used to channel Genki inside the body to enhance it. Self-Channeling can make its user faster, stronger and more agile. For example an adept of Self-Channeling can leap over a wall or momentarily gain the strength of a dragon. Like all channeling arts, Self-Channeling exhausts its user quickly. Self-Channeling is known for its very specialized Channeling techniques. One of these techniques also gave birth to Hybrid techniques.

Outwards Channeling

The art of Outwards Channeling pushes the Genki out of its user’s body. The basic uses for Outwards Channeling are accelerated healing and restoration and inflicting energy based damage. These basic uses are easier to master than the basics of Self-Channeling, however Outwards Channeling has extremely difficult advanced techniques.
