Anima



Anima (English meaning: Soul, Energy) is the inner energy of all Potentials. It's origins remain a mystery. Old potential texts state various sources of Anima; the sun, the moon, the astral plane, etc. It is a fact that only Potentials can manipulate Anima, using it as the basis for all applications of their Potentia. An Anima Origin is the source of a Potential's Anima. It is located in the chest or heart area of a Potential. Human researchers, like Sodrik Mauer, further examined the root of Anima. In one ancient text titled "The Ortus de Potentia", it states that an object known as the Anima Genesis is the source of all Anima; whether this is true or not is unknown.

Losing Anima can be very detrimental to a Potential. A Potential's health and Anima are usually connected, meaning that if one is severely injured, their Anima supply will begin to shorten. When this happens, a Potential must be given time to heal by resting. With strong emotion, a phenomenon called an "Awakening" can happen, in which a Potential's Anima quickly replenishes itself. It is an extremely rare feat, and can only happen with extreme rage.
