Breakarts are a strange new type of technique that relies on the existance of various Essences. Those Essences are manipulated like magical energy. When essences are Connected but without Fusing, they react with eachother and the space inbetween can be utilized to generate energy and other effects, this is called Resonance.
Essences appear to have very little differences between eachother, but there are also broader cathegories of essences which have very massive differences between them. 'Human' and 'Aeon' are the two known broader categories.
To perform Breakarts one must utilize a diagram formed of a base geometrical figure with a complex diagram under it. The base diagram under the geometrical figure will always be the same but the geometrical figures can differ. There are some known figures:
- Trigram: Tri-sided figure, a triangle. Smallest figure possible to use with Breakarts, it signifies perfect fusion
- Quadragram: Four-sided figure, a square. A lesser figure, it signifies defense
- Pentagram: Five-sided figure, a star. Another very powerful figure, it signifies perfect dissonance
Essence: The life-force of a person. To completely extract the Essence of a person would kill it, however, one can utilize a person's Essence harmlessly in breakarts if this person is nearby and the diagram is correctly made. Also, objects of great importance to a person acquire a piece of their essence over time, which causes no harm in bring removed from their person. Some people have far more powerful essences than others.
Connected: Being connected to the Breakart Diagram by having in it's possession a properly-made charm, which is basically a copy of the main diagram.
Resonating: When Essences are Connected via the diagram and interacting with each other it leads to a resonance effect, which is the very core of Breakarts.
Fused: It seems to be possible for essences to fuse into one.
