but the negation exists in this vile act: once the Five-Armed Demiurge Array is destroyed, the vast amounts of Refined Sidhi that it has absorbed through the extinguishing of Sidhi Furnaces will be redistributed across the world... jumpstarting another Mass Cultivation
but to the Bourgeoisie and their Collaborators, having vast amounts of magnetite allows them to Cultivate themselves into unreachable powers... but they need Workers to toil in Magnetite Veins and mines
this is due to the trump card of the Heavenly Bourgeoisie: the Five-Armed Demiurge Array, which has extinguished the Sidhi Furnaces of everyone after the Post-Calamity, save for themselves and their Class Collaborators. magnetite thus is now hoarded for its exchange value
one of the biggest changes is in the lore and progression: magnetite is the term for calcified pools of Sidhi. these have been refined into shards that is then used as currency—its use-value for sidhi cultivation has been diminished as mass cultivation is turned impossible

Mystic Arts Secret Superknowledges change the world. Mystic Arts abilities are known as Magicks. You can only have a number of Magicks ready equal to your Memory. Magicks are deep and heavy arcane things. You can change what Magicks you have ready when you Rest. Mudras Here is a list of mudras: ✦ Crane: Two hands spread like wings, palms outward. ✦ Dragon: Hand reaching out, fingers curled, like a claw about to grasp. ✦ Ego-Cutting: Both arms slicing outward, with both hands needing to slide against each other. ✦ Heat: Both hands touching pointer and thumbs, other fingers outstretched, with the hands placed crossing over her heart. ✦ Intent: All ten fingers spread out in the direction of the target. ✦ Lotus: Both hands cupping together, touching at the wrists, fingers stretching up to look like a blossoming lotus. ✦ Man: Both fists together, knuckles-touching. ✦ Noose: Both five fingers in pinching gestures, both pinching gestures touching fingertips, one above and one under. ✦ Earth: Like Heaven but the hands pointing to the earth. ✦ Heaven: Hands folded together at the heart. ✦ Spear: Three fingers stretched out at the target. ✦ Shield: Pointer and middle finger on both hands crisscrossing, palm facing inward ✦ Stillness: Both hands cupping, right hand under left. ✦ Sword: Pointer and middle finger outstretched, together, and then cutting diagonally. ✦ Thunderbolt: Pointer, pinky, and thumb pointing at summon point direction. ✦ Violence: Thunderbolt Mudra with both hands, pointing at target direction but in a pulled back motion, as if drawing a bow. ✦ Wave: Cup hands together, directed palms first at the target. ✦ Wisdom: Palm forced outward, fingers pointing up. ✦ Wheel: Hands facing each other, cupping gesture, fingertips touching to form a circle. Samadhi Some Magicks require one to be in Samadhi to perform.
FLARE MANTRA The People's Cadre of Sorcerers pooled together the resources of a thousand years worth of wrathful practice. Annihilative practice. They created a magick cultivation easily taught to the masses. A magick that can easily singe the ruling class. MANTRA "Conflagrate. Lagyab. Varam." MUDRA Heaven → Man → Earth → Heat → Thunderbolt or Spear The caster takes on MODERATE STRAIN utters the entangling mudras and mantras and infuses it with her Sidhi to heat a burst 1hx area within 12hx until it combusts. She wields her MInd to attack the target's ResoLvE, dealing MEDIUM FIRE DAMAGE. STAR DEVOURING SCATHE: TRUE SAMADHI FIRE The cadre began innovating as well. They found the inherent chemical reactions of flame and pushed further. Perhaps what they found and unleashed was proof they pushed too far? MANTRA "Annihilate. Lipol. Varam." MUDRA Heaven → Man → Earth → Noose → Heat → Intent → Violence While in Samadhi, the caster takes on HEAVY STRAIN, performs the hallowed gestures and then unleashes annihilative Sidhi to set a 3hx burst area within 12hx aflame with endless inferno with her True Samadhi Fire. She attacks all targets' ResoLvE with her MIND, dealing GRAVE FIRE DAMAGE.

Chthonic Geomancy Art "The world itself is ripe and filled to the brim with imagery and symbols. Leam the secret language of the world, and then you will know your future." The Primordial Art of Harnessing the Dragon Veins of the Earth, otherwise known as the Chthonic Art, and sometimes as Geomancy is reading the signs from the earth, hermetic symbols, the ley lines, movements of the wind, spirals of the dust, and direction of the dragons and other great beasts to ascertain futures and destinies. Along this includes the ability to manipulate the very soil, trees, and dust and other elements of the world through geometric talismans, hand signs, and ingestment of magicked concoctions.
