How spells work and things break down.

Spells turns into Free mana after it's released and the effect is expired (fades into nothingness).

Users' bodies fade into nothingness after dying, about 10 minutes after their death. While they are dead, everything on the person can be looted. So it's very profitable (in theory) to PVP if one can deal with the penalties.

Non-users (including the complete destructions of items) turns into Light mana after dying, the time limit is dependent on the amount of «Skill» or «Spell» used. Their body doesn't disintegrate at all if no «Skill»s nor «Spell»s were used on it by a user (ie. When Nick took down that boar).

«Spell»s and «Skill»s are usually restricted by one's class. Except for the group who learned the native way of using Mana. Native Magic is based on Formulas and States of Mana. Usually Light mana (known as MP by users) is passed through the formula to convert it into a usable state to match the spell being used.

Formulas can be written down or otherwise physically laid out (ie magic tools/magic circles), done with abstract form (ie. formations) and Mental Construct. Mental Construct is one's ability to imagine the formula in their head. A basic example would be visualizing the "1 + 1 = 2", so the mental construct would need 1 and another 1 to make 2. For a regular spell like «Water Bead», one would first visualize the amount of Light mana, then the Symbol for "Water mana conversion", finishing it up with the Symbolic formula as to what it is going to do (size, speed, power, special properties, etc...), forming and unleashing the entire formula will create the desired «Spell». «Skill» is also perform in pretty much the same way.

Note: Using larger amount of Light mana to produce a spell will require even more mana to start that spell, because there's a cost associated with "moving" the mana in the first place. Assuming you need 10 MP to produce a basic «Fireball», you would need 30 MP to produce another one twice as strong.


Time
Amoaltzan days are 14 hours long, has 212 days in a year. There's 4 seasons in a year, each season has their own months. Each Early and Late month has 18 days while the Middle month will always have 17 days.
