Ligic in Warclema - Casting and Neutral Ligic
As established in the previous post, ligic is a magical energy that is generated by matter under the effects of Warclema's physics. It builds up until it starts leaking out. But how do people in Warclema manage to shoot each other with blasts of it?
Stored ligic can be forced out of an object by having it put under some sort of stress, whether it be stretching, applying pressure, or causing it to undergo a sudden acceleration. Almost about anything that could wring water from a cloth can wring ligic from an object. Common methods used by humans are tensing the muscles of one's hand or simply punching the air.
I go with the general idea that a lot of DBZ style ki blast stuff can be done with ligic. It can be concentrated at a single point before being forced forwards in some sort of hadouken or kamehameha. It can be shot as a finger beam. It can also be used for beam struggles. The main differences between the DBZ ki blasts and ligic is the elemental nature of ligic and that ligic can't be guided once it leaves the person, so no curved shots or hellzone grenade attacks.
The ability to release ligic through sudden acceleration allows one to do melee attacks that let out some ligic that will extend past the attack's normal range. The ligic stored in a sword, fist, or other weapon is able to retain the momentum of the weapon even as that weapon stops or changes direction, resulting in a wave of energy continuing out. This provides an easy justification for sword beams and similar ranged attacks with melee weapons.
In games, ligic would have three stats associated with it that I'm going to call "capacity", "control", and "power" for now. Ligic capacity is pretty much max MP. Ligic control kinda corresponds to a mix of dexterity equivalent and wisdom in that it can be used for skillful aim of ligic and is a major part of holding back enough to make efficient use of beneficial properties of ligic without letting it get strong enough to do damage to a target (getting red ligic to heal instead of burn). Ligic power would pretty much be used for magic attack strength.
While ligic use is simple enough for most residents of Warclema to quickly learn the basics of, many still use external means of using ligic, such as plants that can be coaxed into releasing stored up ligic. This is mostly because plants have a higher ligic capacity and being more adapted for its use. The use of one's own ligic by humans is treated like unarmed combat. It can be a useful skill, but having an actual weapon/plant tends to be preferable.
Neutral Ligic
Neutral ligic is ligic outside the colors of red, blue, black, and white. It doesn't really have any elemental effect to it and instead sort of adds some weight to attacks. Even when reflected by an object of the same color, the impact of it can be felt. It's able to be used to physically push objects or continue a cutting slice beyond a blade's normal reach.
