The Three Unwholesome Roots
"Bhikkhus, I shall teach you a discourse on the restraint and abandonment of the taints. Listen closely ... Thus, bhikkhus, by seeing, restraint, using, endurance, avoiding, removing, and developing, the taints are destroyed."
Effect
- Moha (Confusion / Stagnation)
- Dvesha (Aversion / Repulsion)
- Raga (Desire / Attraction)
- Moha: The ability to cause absolutely anything to remain unchanged so it either doesn't evolve or devolve. Users can cause absolutely anything/anyone (which is naturally occurring or which they have brought about) that they target to become stopped and/or unchanging so it doesn't/they don't progress and/or regress.
- Dvesha: The power to manipulate repulsion. The user can create, shape, and manipulate the forces of repulsion (mental strength, gravitational force, magnetic force, etc.).
- Raga: The power to manipulate attraction. The user can create, shape, and manipulate the forces of attraction (mental strength, gravitational force, magnetic force, etc.).
Manifestation
- The Ebony Pig: When assuming the form of the Ebony Pig, the mage’s mastery of Raga is significantly heightened. This transformation turns the mage into a pig-like being, with the unique ability to attract damage and attacks toward themselves. Once damaged, the mage’s durability and defensive capabilities increase in direct proportion to the total damage received. This makes the Ebony Pig form a powerful tank-like transformation that can absorb vast amounts of punishment while growing stronger. However, this form consumes a great deal of magical energy, meaning the mage must use it strategically in battle.
- The Alabaster Bird: In the form of the Alabaster Bird, the mage’s control over Moha reaches its peak. The mage takes on the appearance of a swift, bird-like creature, gaining extraordinary speed and agility, making them nearly untouchable. When in this form, any attack—whether physical or magical—slows down dramatically as it approaches the mage, eventually halting just before impact. This makes the mage functionally untouchable, as all offensive efforts against them are neutralized. An additional advantage of this form is that it consumes no magical energy to maintain, allowing the mage to remain in the Alabaster Bird state for extended periods without exhausting their resources.
- The Emerald Serpent: The Emerald Serpent transformation enhances the mage’s control over Dvesha. Taking on the form of a snake-like entity, the mage becomes immune to most toxins, venoms, and other harmful substances. In this form, the mage not only repels negative influences but also gains the ability to harvest magical energy from defeated foes. This allows the Emerald Serpent to sustain itself for much longer periods than other transformations, as the mage can absorb and use the magical essence of others to maintain the form. This makes the Emerald Serpent form particularly effective in battles where the mage can defeat multiple enemies and continually restore their power.
Source
Magic is born from the fusion of two essential energies: Mana and Natural Energy. Mana, a raw form of energy from the 5th Dimension, is mixed with Natural Energy, a passive energy emitted by all beings. When a mage channels Mana through their Mana Cells, it is refined by blending with Natural Energy, making it usable for beings in the lower dimensions. This refined energy, known simply as Magic, is the core substance from which all magical techniques are crafted. Every mage’s magic is unique, shaped by their individual experiences, bloodline, and Dharma. Over generations, as members of a family or bloodline repeatedly practice magic in harmony with their Dharma, they develop an Inherited Magical Jutsu. The source of these techniques lies in the bloodline itself, creating a cyclical relationship where the bloodline and the Jutsu evolve together. If a bloodline ceases to produce Dharmic Mages, the technique may eventually fade away, while an influx of Dharmic Mages strengthens and refines the inherited power.
