Thelisis

Thelisis is the type of energy magic comes from in the world of Martio. It is kind of electricity and is basicly the energy that goes to, from and inside the brain and creates thoughts, motions and feelings. Every organism like humans produce it, but Theians do it extremely rapidly, making them the most skilled users of it. Thelisis has it's own capabilities and rules; it (tries to) works in an almost understandable way when according to laws of nature and physics.

Capabilities
Using thelisis, one is able to do following things: These are the basical features of using thelisis, but Theians improved it's possibilities and created mechanical artifacts and whole machines that used their powerful blood for ex. opening doors, as thelisis is an alternative to normal electricity, although even more powerful when used correctly.
 * produce heat to extreme temperatures by slowing or speeding molecules
 * creating (sources of) electromagnetical wavelengths ex. creating light
 * creating and manipulating gravitational field(s)

Source and Producing
The source of natural thelisis is may vary. Theians have inborn ability of producing it in great amounts, but individuals of other species are able to produce it as well, though not in as great amounts. It has been theorized that more intelligent individuals naturally produce it more than less intelligent ones, as a considerable amount of Primeras for example have been known to be able to produce and even use it.

It can also be harvested from normal individuals through draining all of their blood; blood is the known vessel for containing it, even when in atomic amounts per individual. Thelisomancy is the art of harvesting thelisis through other people, and is seen as a brutal and horrible act through Martio, as it involves murdering thousands of people for only a small amount of thelisis. Not all thelisomancers do this, but those who do use research as an excuse.

Using Thelisis
Using thelisis is a complicated art and needs constant practice. It is done by for ex. visualizing an object as a part of your body, then visualizing it for ex. heat up or levitate.

other ways are for ex. Theian doors, which work by using a pressure button. Upon pressed, it releases a small hollow needle that uses air pressure to drain their blood into the system, which opens the door. Other examples are the other self-defense systems built inside their temples and shrines, which include stairs that can only be activated in a similar manner, or trap floors.
