The next day, Katar resumed training with the group, building upon what he had taught them about mana essence the previous night.
After seating them down, he began explaining how mana essence strengthened an incarnation's potential and improved their ability usage.
"As incarnations, your powers originate from the spaces you are connected to," Katar said.
"Mana is the essence that allows you to output those powers. Without mana, you cannot channel your abilities."
He paused, letting the words settle.
"Think of mana as fuel. Your abilities are sparks or flames. When you use them, you burn through the mana in your body. When there is no fuel left, the flame dies."
He continued calmly.
"The amount of fuel you possess determines how much fire you can produce. Mana essence increases the amount of fuel your body can store."
"I see," Matt said slowly. "But I've got a question."
Katar glanced at him.
"Where do we get mana from?"
"Your mana pool," Katar replied.
