The Martial and Pure Schools
Martial School
The Martial school is not a manipulation of the Flux in the traditional sense, but the art of channeling one’s own vital energy to transcend physical limits.
Applications: Combat techniques, muscular amplification, superhuman reflexes
Illusion School
Illusion manipulates information and perceptions at a cognitive level. In a universe where reality is mediated by cybernetic implants and data streams, this school allows the interception, falsification, or extraction of information directly from augmented neural systems. It is the weapon of choice for arcanotechnic hackers and information warfare spies.
Applications: Neural data theft, information interception, falsification of augmented perceptions, cognitive hacking, information warfare
Pure School
The Pure School manipulates the Flux in its rawest form, without channeling it through a particular physical phenomenon. It is the most versatile school but also the most difficult to master.
Applications: Arcanotechnic versatility, anti-flux countermeasures, affinity detection
