Power System:
Mazoku provides a detailed explanation of what prana is and the concept of blessed arts. Formally, blessed arts are the concentration of prana, a life energy that flows through all life. These arts are categorized into different classes, typically influenced by personality and sometimes bloodline, making certain classes rare or even extinct. The classes are as follows:
Elemental: Users can create and control one element no matter if it's fire lightning or even poison
Manipulation: Similar to Elemental in the fact it can usually manipulate only one set thing like maybe gravity or people, but users unlike elemental have a wider range of manipulation and it can't create matter only alter it.
Spatial: Users can manipulate space in that being creating portals, generating illusions, creating dimensions, or even forming force fields.
Enhancer: While all blessed art users can enhance their physical abilities with prana, Enhancers can surpass normal physical limits significantly. This blessed art also excels at imbuing their prana into other people and/or objects.
Shifters:Users can alter their bodies in various ways. Examples include growing body parts (like a gun as a hand or a long nose for smelling) making them bigger or smaller and even shifting into animals and other forms like people.
Creation: Users can create non living matter like weapons but they can't manipulate this matter like elementals. The strength of these creations is proportional to their prana levels and concentration.
Mimic: Users can mimic languages, fighting styles, voices, and even someone else's blessed arts/prana outputs.
Special: This category includes abilities that don't fit into any other class and is extremely rare. Users might have multiple elemental abilities or unique traits that set them apart from others.
True: An even rarer version of the Special class, a True blessed art is unique to one individual every thousand years for a specific ability. These users are exceptionally powerful and unique.
Prana Overuse:
Prana is someone's life force, so if someone uses too much prana, they die or pass out. Just like if someone doesn't breathe or eat, they die or pass out. Someone's prana doesn't take long to restore, maybe after a good sleep, but you can't overuse it.
Other Prana Uses:
People with enough training and/or mastery over prana can infuse their prana into other people or objects, refining or healing them. It can also increase the power of a weapon if used on one.
Life Span and Development:
Individuals with a blessed art cannot die from natural causes due to their control over their life energy. They must be killed to die. Typically, blessed arts develop between the ages of 6 and 16, though in rare cases, they can manifest at birth.
Categorization and Specialization:
A blessed art class is merely a starting point for categorizing someone's ability. For instance, an Elemental user can't control all elements indiscriminately. Their actual abilities depend on their will and personal development.
