There are mainly 2 power energies that are abundant and used in the western continent and the whole Sarna world.
They are Mana and Ki. Mana is used by Mages while Ki is used by warriors. There is also another kind of powerful energies like soul power, also called spiritual power. other powers will be explained as the story progress.
The Ki is used by warriors to strengthen themselves and also use it by channeling it through the meridians of the body to break into higher levels.
Mana is used by Mages and using it is quite different from The ki. Mana doesn't strength the body or give a huge physical power up.
The physical power given by Mana is very limited. The Mana concentrates more on using it to cast spells and create the formations.
Different from the ki that is only used to battle. Mana can be used to create mana gathering formation that can power up flying ships or even power up the magic guns.
The Mana in the air can't be used for spells until it's merged with the spiritual power of the Mage. Merging between them will create mana that can be used for the specific element that the mage has an affinity to.
[AN: you can imagine the ki and mana is like the physical energy in Naruto while soul power (also called spiritual power) is the spiritual energy. It's like Naruto].
The Mage will use the Mana in the air and merge or fuse it with his spiritual energy so it can create the spell he wants to.
The affinity to the element or a special kind of spell is decided by the color of the spiritual power you have.
Red is fire. Blue is water. Green is wind. Brown is Earth. White is Light. Purple is darkness. Finally, those without color are more for the illusion type of magic.
You can also merge spiritual power to create new elements like ice or Lava but this depends entirely on luck. You can have an affinity for the 2 elements but you can't have for their merged one.
This is the main use of Soul power for Mages. For warriors, it's completely different. First, their soul power doesn't have a color but it can't be used for illusion because they don't have Mana.
For them, Soul power is mainly used for sensing the enemy and also presenting their attacks. They merge it with their own ki and can somehow have a sixth sense of their own.
[AN: Yeah, it's like the observation haki].
The ki in the air is different for Mana that doesn't have an element. Ki has many types. Ice ki, Wind Ki, .... and many others. Some talented warriors can even merge two types of Elemental ki and create an attack with a merged element.
For the first four levels of a warrior path, the warrior needs to use the elemental ki in the air but after entering the 5th level, they can form their own core that can store the elemental Ki.

WEAPON TYPES AND CLASS:
Weapons in The Sarna world can be two types mainly.
-Soul Weapon.
-Magic weapon.
Magic weapons are the weapons used by everybody, they can either be a ki type or Mana type. The weapon is divided into 10 tiers.
Going from the bottom to the peak, it's like this.
-F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.
They can also be divided into 3 sub-tiers. for example for F class. It's gonna be F-, F, F+ and so on until SSS class.
Magic weapons have many shapes and forms but they essentially need to have the Astonium metal which can channel Ki and Mana.
On the other hand, soul weapons are very rare because besides channeling mana or ki, they have the ability to channel Soul power. They can be categorized into 4 tiers.
-Pseudo, Demi, Quasi, foul.
A magic Weapon can never have the abilities of a Soul weapon while a soul weapon can have the abilities of the magic weapon.

MAGIC ABILITIES AND MAGIC ARTS AND SPELLS:
Magic abilities are some kind of a power that someone is born with. they can be either completely useless in battle or can be very Overpowered.
It completely depends on the warrior or Mage luck. People born with magic abilities are quite rare and can be only one in a thousand.
They are mystic powers given by God. For mages, it can be related to their affinity or completely unrelated, it depends on the luck. The mage uses only mana to activate it.
For warriors, it uses Soul power and in most of the cases, magic abilities can be related to their Ki affinity type and can be complementary to him in battle. Of course, there are exceptions.
For mages, Spells is the main attack power they have and they use it to injure their enemies. Most of the spells are related to an element but there are other types of spells like illusion spells and mind control spells.
there are 12 levels for spells and if the Mage is a higher level one then, even if the spell is the 1st level, the damage will be very big.
All of the mages in the continent are Long ranged attackers but there are some legends in the past that talk about mages who use mana to battle like warriors Although they are nonexistent for now.
[AN: FOR NOW wink...wink, 😉😉😉].
There is also Eros who uses Mana to strengthen himself and battle against warriors.
Finally, Magic arts which are a type of cultivation technique given to the warrior, it gives him the power to channel the ki in a way that makes him able to imitate magic abilities.
This is created for those who don't have magic abilities. This doesn't prevent people with magic abilities from using magic arts provided that he finds a one that's suitable for him and has perfect harmony with his magic ability.
All of this is to propose that if the conditions are met, people with lower cultivation can sometimes battle and overpower someone with higher cultivation, of course, if he has a perfect power and perfect control.
Of course, there is a limit for how much you can fight above your level. That's why it was proposed in the continent a system for these exceptional people who can fight way above their level, The star system.
The star system is a system divided into 10 stars. Each star shows how much you can fight above your level. This system includes not only your level but also your weapon, Battle capabilities, and experience. Everything is included.
1Star: Can battle a stage above your level.
2 Stars: Can battle 2 stages above your level
3 Stars: Can battle 3 stages above your level.
4 Stars: Can battle 4 stages above your level.
5 Stars: Can fight half a level (5 stages) above your level
6 Stars: Can fight 6 stages above your level.
7 Stars: Can fight 7 stages above your level.
8 Stars: Can fight a whole level above your own.
9 Stars: Can fight a level and half above your own.
10 Stars: Can fight two whole levels above your own.
In the whole western continent and for the last 100000 years, there has never been someone who is an 8-star warrior or mage. This shows how difficult is to surpass the cultivation level.
[AN: From her, till the end, it will be a huge spoiler. Better read it and then come back again].
Even Almon who is a Saint warrior is only a 4-star warrior and he can only surpass normal Saint King warriors or mages who aren't stars. If he meets an elite Saint King star then he will have to die.
