There are three kinds of energies in total:-
1) Life energy also called Spiritual energy,
2) Death energy also called resentment or ghost energy,
3) Astral power also called Psychic energy.
And the ways to cultivate these:
Hand held weapons, Hidden & chain and rope throwing weapons, seal/talismans and arrays, gear making (traps, mechanisms, weapons and worn sheilds), music and dance, poison and medicine, ghost speech (is cultivated), cooking cultivation (cultivating qi empowered plants and empowering food with qi while cooking or cooking with qi). What happens when a scattered clan, that uses nearly all of these ways of cultivation, is gathered back to a clan like structure by the clan's heiress?
