Mana proficiencies

I am adding "mana proficiencies" basically something natural from birth, this does determine growth but only in the proficiency way. Basically it's like if one has a high mana proficiency, they will be able to do more complex things, take a water user for example, the process of generating a spell like 'flood' becomes simple to them it's instant. Though if their mana output is low their spells shall be weak, take that same water user and give them a low mana output, even though the spell 'flood' will for fast it will be weak in force and won't deal much damage. mana Proficiency is also at times used as a gauge for growth rate, sequence understanding and potential.

In short mana proficiency is basically a gauge for quick cast and a lot more.

Mana proficiencies range from

low

medium

high

extreme

abnormal

beyond

Output

Self-explanatory but I'll do it anyway. It's basically the amount of force one's spells carry, the thing about measuring output is that it can't be measured accurately, it's like measuring how hard you punch, you can do it but it's somewhat difficult to account for all muscle contractions and relaxations during the process as well as if you're applying all your weight during the punch accurately, the same goes for output. You just can't measure the speed at which your mana flows through your circuits and how much you apply to the spell it's self and the rest to maintain other factors, Take a fire user for example, his/her spell 'fire ball', they channel mana out of their bodies and create an ignition, during that ignition though the use their mana as both a fuel and a lighter, if you will, so if you're going to measure their output what do you consider their mana as . it goes further than this, but I'll stop here for today and if any thinks 'just measure both' then try it with your own element. Just remember that output is proportional to age, the more your body grows and develops the higher one's output, but this only applies to growth types, some are born stagnant in output, and it usually occurs with those born with high and above outputs. Output also refers to one's physical output but, in most cases, one has to train their bodies to reach their full 'physical' output.

Subcategories

These are the sub sections a specific element has. Basically, these are more in-depth aspects of an element, they are part of that element and explain why it is able to do such things, take necromancy for example it is the subcategory for the darkness element, no need for me to explain the relation. All elements have subcategories some may not seem to align well with the element but shall give an explanation on why is decided so.

For the record, concepts such as life and death are arguable if they are to be their own thing or subcategories since both fall under blood, nature, light and darkness. But they do exist in this world
