Attracting & Nurturing Gu: Finding Gu in nature (often in specific environments like caves, ancient trees, or battlefields) or cultivating them from eggs or larvae. This requires knowledge of Gu habits, preferred environments, and sometimes, specific rituals or offerings.
Refining Gu: Feeding Gu with specific substances to enhance their innate abilities and potentially evolve them into stronger forms. This could involve rare herbs, animal essences, minerals, or even human emotions and life force (a darker path). "Refining" is also metaphorical – Gu Sadhakas must refine themselves spiritually and mentally to better control and understand their Gu.
Controlling & Wielding Gu: Gu are not pets. They are powerful, instinct-driven entities. Controlling them requires mental discipline, specific hand seals (Mudras inspired by Nepali and Buddhist traditions), chants (Mantras in Nepali or Sanskrit), and sometimes, blood pacts. The level of control depends on the Sadhaka's skill, the Gu's inherent nature, and the method of bonding.
Gu Combinations & Formations: Skilled Sadhakas can combine multiple Gu to create synergistic effects. Formations of Gu can be used for offense, defense, illusions, healing, and more. This is akin to forming armies of microscopic, magical entities.
Gu Categories:
Pancha Tattva Gu (Five Element Gu): Based on the five classical elements - Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), and Ether (Akasha). These are foundational and versatile. Example: Agni Patanga Gu (Fire Moth Gu) for offensive fire blasts, Prithvi Krimi Gu (Earth Worm Gu) for defensive earth barriers.
Pashu Gu (Animal Gu): Mimic the traits of Nepali animals - Yeti, Snow Leopard, Himalayan Monal, Gharial, etc. These provide physical enhancements or animalistic abilities. Example: Yeti Rom Gu (Yeti Hair Gu) granting immense strength and cold resistance, Gharial Nakra Gu (Gharial Claw Gu) for aquatic agility and powerful strikes.
Vanaspati Gu (Plant Gu): Derived from Nepali flora – Rhododendron, Sal Tree, medicinal herbs. These often focus on healing, illusions, or creating plant-based constructs. Example: Rhododendron Pushpa Gu (Rhododendron Flower Gu) for illusions and charm, Neem Patra Gu (Neem Leaf Gu) for healing and purification.
Rakshasa Gu (Demon Gu): Tapping into darker, more chaotic energies. Associated with wrathful deities, shadows, and fear. Powerful but dangerous and corrupting to the Sadhaka. Example: Lakhe Mukha Gu (Lakhe Face Gu) granting terrifying aura and enhanced aggression, Pisacha Gu (Ghoul Gu) for draining life force.
Divya Gu (Divine Gu): Rare and legendary, believed to be blessed by deities or imbued with celestial power. Often tied to specific sacred sites or lineages. Example: Chandra Jyoti Gu (Moonlight Beam Gu) for potent healing and spiritual enlightenment (extremely rare).
