It's something that exists in every person, governed by specific neural pathways. By learning how to circulate it through your body, you can augment your physical capabilities to a degree.
Using spirit energy itself? Yes. Personal sorcery is the next level above that, though, and I never reached that point. [I THINK. CANON'S ABOUT TO SPITE ME AND TELL US THAT URUHA LEARNED SORCERY FOR TWO SECONDS ACTUALLY.] My focus was the blade.
What's the difference between the two? Is personal sorcery just.. stronger?
[ How strange! But oh. ]
Jacopo did mention a few people had arrived with a sword. [ in b4 you're like actually uruha doesn't carry his sword around everywhere ] Craft comes in handy, but otherwise I mostly rely on my knife.
[no uruha carries his sword everywhere you're good]
The basics of spirit energy is physical augmentation, such as improved endurance and speed, while sorcery is using it to manifest a hereditary ability, unique to each person—barring exceptional cases, each person only has one kind. For example, I knew someone whose sorcery was teleportation, and another person who could create bolts of energy.
Oh. Craft is sorta that way with the augmentations, Scissors being able to buff speed, Rock craft can buff defenses... [ So that's a little familiar in the sense but.. blinks like "UM?" at the sorcery examples. ] Create.. bolts of energy..? Like.. lightning bolts?
Something like that. I's been a long time since I've seen Azami-san in action, but he formed them in his hands and attacked that way. He was extremely proficient in close quarters combat, to give you an idea of his style.
There are people with more ranged styles, of course. Manifesting and throwing bombs, flinging elements, stuff like that. Everyone has their own way of using their sorcery.
[ naaaur this is so cute, the way Siffrin actually appreciates this so much. Being able to just sit in silence, not feel the need to have to fill it.
Their shoulders relax a little, content to spend the rest of the time just whittling. Even if they have a silly little habit of muttering to the wood to "please look nice." ]
he doesn't stare siffrin the entire time as they work, because that's awkward, but they do glance over once in a while, mouth twitching in amusement over their muttering. otherwise, he seems fine with just cloudwatching and the like.]

And you said everyone can only use one kind? Did you learn yours pretty quickly?

So you won't be able to learn it at all?
no subject
Nope. ... Well, I don't know how dying affects that, but that's probably not relevant here.

[ Opportunity to learn back... Their whittling doesn't have an exact shape, maybe because they're still trying to think of. What. It is just a blob. ]
no subject
If I return the way I want to, it should be the same—no sorcery.
no subject
That's good. [ Being confident of who you are, that's nice, isn't it? ] ..Sorry, I won't keep you any longer if you were on your way somewhere.
[ Realizing they may have been prodding a bit too much. ]
