=Mana and Meteoric Engineering=

==Мана==
===Мана===
An previously unknown element that was dispersed during the massively destructive meteorite fall known as the {{furigana|Meteor shower|Ember Tears}}.

===Manadite===
Among the meteorites that had fallen to the Earth during the Ember Tears, accompanying the unknown element now known as Mana, was also the unique ore; manadite.

===Mana Dite=== 
'''A Mana Dite is the crystallization of the element Mana extracted from the Mana bearing ore; manadite'''
*Recent advances have allowed for its artificial extraction and production on a commercial scale.

===Compatibility Rating===
*A Mana Dite's capacity to be utilized by its wielder.
*Some Ulm Mana Dite's will not accept particular candidates.


==Meteoric Engineering== 
*The techniques and technology used to manipulate the various uses of Mana and its principle ore manadite.
*Meteoric engineering research into Mana, manadite and Mana Dites have paved the way for new industry, not the least of which was centered around the ability to employ the Mana (in Mana Dites) as an energy source for weapons; the {{Furigana|Shining Type Armaments|Lux}}.
*Some Mana Dites are used in toys.
*Eishirou, uses a dagger-type Lux to slice apples. (Suggesting kitchen uses.)

==={{furigana|Shining Type Armament|Lux}}）===
*An ordinary Mana Dite.
*A short rod-shaped apparatus, easy to hold in the hand, in which there is an emerald green manadite crystal (the actual 'Mana Dite') inserted at the tip. Sometimes referred to as a Lux.
*When activated, Lux weapons materialize and focus Mana, producing a blade of light. There are also arrow, spear-type and bullet forms. However; a ranged weapon's bullet or arrow cannot maintain it's form for long once fired.
*The might conferred by Lux weapons exceeded those of existing weapons, and furthermore, carried other beneficial properties (for example, a Lux gun needs no ammunition). For this reason, for the most part, Lux weapons have since replaced traditional weaponry.
*Lux Mana Dites are all of a uniform color, green. (Unactivated crystal color.)


===Ulm Mana Dite===
*A special type of Mana Dite.
*Among the types of Mana Dite is one of exceedingly high purity, and equally rare. These are the so-called Ulm Mana Dites, which form the core of the Ogre Lux weapons. 
*Their capabilities are incomparable to those of normal Lux weaponry, but are rumored to be even more difficult to control than the unique Mana abilities of the {{furigana|Starpulse Generation|Genestella}} Strega and Dante.
*Ulm Mana Dites possess an exceedingly high level of purity of the element Mana, and are capable of feats normally only possible for the Strega and Dante.
*Ulm Mana Dite come in a variety of colors. (Unactivated crystal color.)

==={{furigana|Pure Star Type Armament|Ogre Lux}}=== 
*The ultimate Mana Dite weapon. 
*Used by students of special caliber as they are more powerful and take much more ability, talent and skill to utilize.
*Few have katana forms, which are rare.
*Some Ogre Lux have wills of their own, politely known as side effects.
*The unpredictable wills of individual Ogre Lux's are understood as the "price" one pays to wield them. They have been known to affect the emotions of those who wield them and some won't accept incompatible users at all.
*At Seidoukan Academy, the minimum requirement is an 80% compatibility rating.
*The vast majority of Ogre Lux weaponry belong to the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, although a select number are provided to each school for research purposes.

===<nowiki>Saya's Father's Guns</nowiki>===
*The LOBOS method for connecting multiple Mana Dite cores is an incomplete design already rejected over a dozen years ago. Its power output is unstable, its burden on the user is high, and both its volume and mass are substantial. In order to maintain a high level of output, it requires an excess of Mana as well as a significant pause between shots. Moreover, a way to overcome these flaws has yet to be discovered.
:*The gun she used when Ayato, Julis, Lester and her practiced together has three Mana Dite cores and its power seems to derive from forcibly linking them together. (v2ch2)
*a weapon which relied on the Mana overdrive phenomenon ーin other words; Meteor Artsー was something that could only ever see use within the bounds of a duel.
*Infinitely more important than raw power is a weapon's suitability with the powerless masses says Camilla, a researcher from Allekant. (who know if she is correct?)
*Ferrovius ーCamillaー felt that Saya's father's guns might as well have been impossible.
*Saya said once, about the Type 34 wave Motion heavy artillery Ark Van Ders modified; "In the Lobos transition system, the high output obtained is unstable, and if left as is, the gun barrel wouldn't last (hold). So I converted a portion of the output as an energy field in order to pin it down." explaining how she reinforced it so she could use (abuse) it as a rough sword, blocking blows from other weapons or using it as a hammer like weapon itslef.

==Mana, Humans and the Environment==

fill in the blank. Still working on this section....

Mana and Prana research both relate to the Starpulse Generation.

The influx of the new element Mana after the Ember Tears had led to mutations in the flora and fauna. Its effect on humanity had been the inception of the Starpulse Generation, and naturally, other forms of life had not been left untouched.

Nonetheless, mutants with the ability to pose a serious threat to the Starpulse Generation ーand their abnormal abilities, physical or otherwiseー have yet to be discovered.

Speaking in theory there is no need for vocalization before an action but there are also some people that won’t be able to activate it if they don’t have a fixed procedure. Even I, who said thus, the incantation aside, it’s rather easy for me to hold an image because of the vocalization.

==={{furigana|Starpulse Generation|Genestella}}===
*People who possess a phenomenal physical ability due to their adaptability with Mana. More specifically; their ability to utilize Mana.
*Only a small percentage of the human race are members of the {{furigana|Starpulse Generation|Genestella}}.
*When sprinting, members of the Starpulse Generation could overtake even a car at top speed.

==={{furigana|Star-Power|Prana}}===
*Prana is the power a human, of the {{furigana|Starpulse Generation|Genestella}}, either a Strega or Dante, summons through the Mana in their bodies and nearby surroundings. This energy is used to enhance their abilities, allow the use of certain Ogre Lux and also enable special techniques.
*Prana is not limitless and can be temporarily exhausted. Everyone has their own individual unique limits. Abilities require the consumption of Prana, which isn't a limitless resource.
*Generally speaking; even though Prana is original and unique to each person, the abilities of the Strega and Dante are modeled and or organized after real objects. Just as Julis' abilities used flowers as a focus, other abilities mimic the hierarchy of chess pieces.
*Both time-delay abilities as well as those that took effect after some pre-existing condition was met are rather common.
*Normally, the Strega and Dante are incompatible with the same Ogre Lux weapon. It seems to derive from a sort of Mana interference with the Ulm Mana Dite.

===Ability User===
*In all of Asterisk's history, the number of ability users who've wielded an Ogre Lux has only been around ten at most. It is postulated that Ogre Lux weapons despise ability users.
*A measurement of the Mana transfer efficiency rates at which telekinetic ability users used their abilities seems to be of value.
*A detection-type Strega is an ability user.
*Healing is a rare ability
