Ki

Ki is the Japanese on'yomi formatting of the Chinese character Qi/Chi (気 or 氣, pronounced as "chee"), and is one of the three main categories of magic. It is one of the oldest among all magical categories, even beating Mana. It has the ability to amplify the strength and effects of physical abilites. It is also the least understood among scholars.

All living beings have Ki inside of their soul, however most of the people who control Ki appear to be of Eastern descent; therefore, the ability to use Ki is thought to have some connection to the genetic makeup of Eastern peoples. Lifestyle and culture may also have an effect on the affinity to Ki as the Japanese, being very spiritual people, have a natural talent of using it.

Ki appears as a white Bar and fills up via Meditating. You can only aqcuire Ki by Meditating, unless you have a high Meditating Mastery level.

In real-life, qi/ki is considered by Asian philosophy to be a type of life force or energy flow that literally often pertains to the atmosphere around oneself. It is usually is the basis for most forms of Asian medicinal practices and Chinese martial arts; the art of practicing qi/ki is known as qigong/kikou (気功).
