I personally say that the power system of this novel is actually pretty simple. It follows the use of Prana : the special energy that allows for the 'motion' of everything in existences boundaries.

Prana can be utilized through a Boundary Field, special Fields naturally generated by [Brain Crystals], shells that surround the brain and are developed since the age of 1

Unfortunately, not everyone has their brain crystals fully developed, and therefore, not everyone has the capabilities to become a Marionettist (magic users). However, if you do have a fully developed brain Crystal, then you also have a boundary field. Henceforth allowing for the use of Prana.

Now let's talk about the basic knowledge about a person's boundary field :

First of all, during the development stages (that at least 80% of the time lasts until a person becomes 16) can be influenced by a large amount of factors, from interacting with leviathans, to being shown the use of Prana at a young age, a brain Crystal can be influenced by any one of these. This creates a 'Error' in the stuff that makes up a boundary field, which can either be a curse or a blessing.

From it being extra abilities to a person not being able to do a specific thing, all of these can be results of an 'Error'. If you get extra unlucky, one of these errors could even possibly stop you from using Prana at all (basically heavenly restriction except you get nothing in return). The thing is, not everyone has these errors though.

Another thing is the difference between frenzy and wisdom Prana. Frenzy Prana is far more wild and less dense, along with being more powerful overall, except being much harder to control than wisdom Prana. It's filled to the brim with the ' movement information ' that makes up Prana, making it extremely dense and easy to control, but less powerful overall (it's either one of these prana types or none)

And then, we have ignition factors. The amount of ignition factors you can have changes depending on your stage (but we will be going into that later).

OAn ignition factor is essentially a spiritual runic encryption that you have ingrained onto your boundary field, giving you special powers as long as you fuel it with Prana. And mind you, everyone starts off with something called an 'Innatus', it is essentially your unique ignition factor.

Example : Tremor Clash — send a large barrage of your target, with the special property of being heat-seeking as well.

Also, 'threads'. Marionettists are called that for a reason - they are not only individuals with a boundary field, but they are also individuals who can see the threads of reality, and what type of threads they are? It changes depending on there 'Innatus'.

And then, Enigma. If Prana is the ' information that allows for movement ' then Enigma is ' The information that allows for emotion '.

Through the use of Enigma, a person can affect the thoughts of others, possibly even destroy any form of emotion they themselves have, etc.

There are also things called regalia : they are essentially weapons encrypted with ignition factor(s) and Prana, leading to them being mostly used by marionetists.

And then, leviathans. Leviathans are creatures that have been mutated by frenzy Prana, leading to them becoming massive wild monsters.

And finally : the stages for marionettes.

1 - Seeker. An individual who is new at manipulating ' threads ' and the use of ignition factors. Their boundaries can only hold two ignition factors (including their innatus) at most.

2 - Weaver : individuals who now hold enhanced physical strength because of the fact that Prana naturally flows through their bodies. In the middle of this stage, a person also develops something called an 'AetherHeart' which allows for the most advanced uses of Prana, and overall makes it so that ignition factors take way less Prana to utilize. People at this stage can have three ignition factors (including the innatus)

3 - Threadist : an individual that has fully developed their aether heart, and they are now starting to develop something called a ' Tertiary Boundary Expanse', which is essentially expanding the rules and information that makes up your boundary field onto reality, creating a 'domain'. People of this stage can have 4 ignition factors (including the Innatus. From this point onwards, I will not be adding this extra point).

4 - Embryo Tinkers : people at this stage have fully developed their own 'Tertiary Boundary Expanse', and also have started to develop a passive ability called 'The Breath That Encompasses All', an ability that focuses in enhancing the users already existing senses and bringing forth two new ones : instinct and combat. While one allows for you to fight in the most perilous conditions, another allows for you to dodge attacks before they've even spawned.

5 - Embryo Wanderer : this is a stage where a person's potential is fully enhanced and embraced, other than massively, increasing the reserves of your Prana and enigma, and also allows for the use of ' Genesis Armament', a ability that people of this stage naturally learn. It is essentially the power to fuse the body, the soul, and the mind all in one to create Divine Power enhancing your overall physical capabilities by over 10 times. The only real problem with this technique is that it takes large reserves of Prana (even by somebody in this ranks terms). There is also a massive power difference between the stages before and after this.

6 - Ascendants. Not only are these individuals who are normally at the end of the first year in Pandora, while also being the beginning of second years, these people have something called ascendancy value. It is essentially their 'worth' and the dimensions that they're made out of. Not only can these people interact with souls and threads even more (this technique is called phantom resurgence), they also have things called 'Akashic Records'. These are essentially the databases inside of their boundary fields that keep all of their ignition factors, and due to its Discovery at this stage, a person's ignition factors become far stronger. A person's Prana and Enigma also follow the logic of 1=10 after every stage increase. Meaning after this stage, one unit of Prana equals 10 units of Prana for the previous stage (only now does it follow this logic).

Those are all the stages you need to know about currently, so, good bye (I will be explaining more about the power system in later chapters)
