So, in developing one of my characters for Samurai I began to wonder more about the use of aetheric manipulation (magic) by Disciples of War. We know that the Disciples of Magic use incantations and/or geometric algorithms to manipulate aether directly and thereby achieve certain results.
However, I was wondering if the martial characters also manipulate aether in their own way, such as to enhance their striking power or speed? In other words, are those flashes of energy during combat more than just fancy game visuals? Are they actual observable phenomena to the characters in the world? I like to think they are not just for my character's development but also because it goes a long way toward explaining why a tiny Lalafel (or any race for that matter) can injure or fell a massive dragon using what should amount to toothpicks by comparison.
So what do you guys think/know about the subject? Is it actually the manipulation of aether or am I just reading to much into video game visuals? Sorry of this has been discussed before. I tried to search for it in the search bar but came up with nothing .
