Possessed

Chapter Nine

*This a fast forward event after the astral room training*

"Remember your emotion affects the flow of your mana" Paalala ni Leomond kay Yura habang magkatapat ang palad ni Yura. She's trying to manifest her mana in its basic form, astral energy.

According to Leomond, mana can manifest in 3 stage: internal, astral, at physical. Just like soul can manifest in this 3 stage. Each stage requires different amount of mana. Internal mana is subtle and usually passive, most exorcist has that. It's the most basic requirement to use an exorcist weapon, example is Yura's conjured Chain, Karlisle Holy Gun, at mga exorcist talismans paper.
Internal mana usually don't require training to use. When you become exorcist it's the quality you have, kaya nga yun ang pinagkaiba ng exorcist sa normal na tao. The second stage of mana manifestation as according to Leomond is Astral manifestation. Astral is not only dimension it's actually a world, but when this two world meets, that creates dimension. it's a very thin dimension that technically transfarent sa mata ng isang 2nd level exorcist( those who can use mana at stage two manifestation)
This dimension is an advantage sa side ng exorcist, dito kasi nila nagagawang imanifest ang astral form ng mana. Astral World is a very vast world almost twice as the physical world, in there spirits, being and entities freely live. Astral world should not be confuse with Spiritual World. Usually Spiritual World is highest of the Worlds that exorcist knows. At wala silang anumang information kung ano ang mayroon sa Spiritual World, Dahil it has a extremely unpenetratable barrier that prevents other beings from coming in. Though it has an unpenetrable barrier. It has gates , this gates is an entrance for human spirits after it separates from human soul. Hindi rin alam ng mga exorcist how the spirit gates sort the human spirit. Ang isa pang alam ng mga exorcist ay wala ibang Spiritual being na galing sa labas ng Spiritual world ang nabigyan ng pagkakataon o kakayahan na makapasok sa mga Spiritual Gates.

Well, let's talk about Physical manifestation of mana.
Of all the three stage of manifestation, ito ang pinakamahirap.
In order to do that, kailangan ng exorcist na I synchronize ang sarili sa kanyang mana. All laws of natures affects the mana manipulation and manifestation and vice versa. For an exorcist to fully manifest his or her mana, kailangan mas stronger ang soul will nila sa force of nature, this creates an exception sa prevailing natural law.
The key is emotion. Emotion according to Leomond is a wave of soul will. The stronger the wave, the stronger mana produce and the more effective the manifestation in physical world.

Sa ngayon yun ang ginagawa ni Yura.
Astral energy is an exemption sa natural law, since it comes from astral dimension which is a transfarent dimension and cross dimension between astral world and physical world. It's like trying to leak water in different container while it's inside another container.

Yura can feel the warm energy that is fluctuating from her veins.
"Concentrate on your mana, remember when you manifest mana in astral dimension"

Patuloy na gabay ni Leomond. Ang tinutukoy nito ay ang naunang training nila where she , in one try, manifest a mana energy in its astral form in astral dimension.

Inisip nya ang pakiramdam at ginawa niya sa astral dimension.

"In astral dimension, You create a body capable of adapting to astral dimension, then you use that same body to manifest mana. In physical world this is no different, except you already have a body in physical world pero physical body is naturally resisting mana kasi it's form is directed by principles guided by human spirit. Remember Spirit and body is always opposite. That's why human soul is forever torn between this two. When soul follow the body, it's free but prone to corruption and worldy desire. When Soul follow the spirit, it bounds by heavenly law and divinity, and becomes immune to any sin and corruption. Being Exorcist doesn't mean we should all spirit nor all body being. Kailangan tayo manimbang, to be exorcist means to shoulder responsibilities that saints can't handle. Exorcist commit sins sometimes to purge another sin"
