Mana Manipulation

The Path of Mana Manipulation is a style of linear magic focused on the control of magical energy as magical energy.

Overview
Most magic users recognize a movement of some sort of 'power.' They may know it by many names: mana, sekhem, chi, vis, Prime, but it is essentially the same thing and the greater percentage of magic users will learn to feel or describe that power as it moves through them during a casting. Some sorcerers, though, will learn to manipulate these power sources to reform the basic mystical energy around them. Wether they call it Geomancy, Ley line channeling, Feng Shui and a host of other methods all bend these energies into new and interesting ways.

An esoteric path, few sorcerers describe Mana Manipulation in such abstract terms and tend to see it as an exercise described by their particular style of magic. A master of Feng Shui will channel Qi with special mirrors or moxa burning. A Hermetic Wizard will use wands and incantations to direct and store Mana. Shamans will use designs, paintings, or dream catchers to trap and hold good energy or ward off bad energy.
