It is the goal and mission of the Magical Kingdom to completely control magic. As such, groups of Mages from the MK have traversed far and wide over Ara'niel, seeking to regulate such things. Those who do not submit are either killed or forced into submission. With the MK's high stature and incredible magical resources, it is no wonder that so many opt to kneel rather than stand against.

Sigils operate much differently than either of those, though. Mana is stored in a rune and then released as a spell. Sigils are more fluid, and more permanent. A spell is cast THROUGH a sigil, and the sigil amplifies or changes it's power. If an element is included with the spell, the sigil must be aligned to that element, else the spell itself will destroy the sigil and the spell itself will cause collateral damage to the caster. ...

Instead of trying to fight against the 'flow' of nature, one harmonizes with it, using its power as their own. As an analogy, if you were the size of an ant and dropped in a pond. You want to try to reach shore. However, the ripples all around make it difficult to swim straight. Chi would be knowing which way the ripples are flowing, and to ride them from one to another to get to shore, rather than trying to ...
