Channeling has many definitions, but most importantly it means using power from another world to use it in yours. every channeling has a price, when you are drawing power from a source it drains the magic in another universe, also known as 'Astra' not many people have access to this kind of information so it is given to those who can channel and use their powers in their respective world.
channeling depends on the user, how strong they are, and what elements they have. but one thing applies to every user who can channel, the price of life. each spell has a direct touch with the user's life span, easy spells such as sleep, levitation, and mind reading cost 10 minutes of your life, while channeling the element, using ice shards, and summoning and controlling water, cost 30-35 minutes of the user's life.
users who were blessed with the power of darkness, light, and necromancy are also cursed, their powers drain significantly faster and consume much more of their life span, but they are ten or even fifteen times stronger than a regular channelers element.
'Book of Astra' which has all of this information is given to the group by the headmaster, Lyandrey. here are the first few pages of the book :

Step Three: wait till every candle is melted
Step Four: take all three beginner elements of stone: Ice, Air, and Fire, and gently crush them with a sharp object.
Step Five: put your left hand on each broken element stone and wave it around, if it cuts you, quickly move to another element.
