How could tacita beat her it makes no sense. Really hope tacita dies. Hate me all you want tacita lovers.

Way late but “extavert” - just to mirror all the dialogue over knitting.

Brandon Arnold

I'm super late to the party but 'Mana Tide'

Mdage

Flow is good Potential would be good as it relates to energy and also many other things

Morde24

Yep! He fucked up his body so bad his reward for surviving is a trait cap increase

Kasim Charles-Walcott

Hmm maybe “maelstrom”

Abhishek

Tsunami?

Asterrahl

Surge, Course, Flux, Flume, Gush, Rush, Cascade, hmm... Perhaps Swell or Escalate. From the comments, I like Flux, Mana Vector (vector stuff is special I heard), Conductor. We have to remember Accumulation + Redistribution + Mana Manipulation = So perhaps I like Swell. "Current" worked for me when I read it, incidentally. It doesn't have the Accumulation part perhaps?

Krzychu0304

I like "flow" the most, for the simple reason that in current terminology, it's simply the most powerful; its name is the shortest (the ur line was much stronger than the ley line), while its meaning is the most general (meaning it will have the widest range of influence, affecting the greatest number of things). On the other hand, maybe it would be better to save "flow" for a future evolution of "current." And there's another terrible and cruel option: "manipulation," because it will allow Nat to do the same thing with primal energies and other stuff, the same thing it currently does with mana. And the cruelty lies in the fact that it does the same thing as "mana manipulation," so it effectively replaces it. Or, to take it back, I'd rather "mana manipulation" evolve into "mana." PS, am I seeing correctly that Nat's traits have a higher evolution cap?

TRexBert

I like that a lot. However, it has too much of a Star Wars vibe

caeven

Torrent or flow are my favorites. "Torrent" because it sounds badass af. "Flow" because it sounds so unassuming and we all know the basic named skills are always the most op. Like "weapon" and "sword".

baggytoques

I think this is my favorite

Balsamic ThunderThighs

Here are some that are more or less related to elements and others that I came up with after 10 minutes of searching. For water: deluge - a severe flood. For fire: fusillade - a series of shots fired or missiles thrown all at the same time or in quick succession For wind: Squall - a sudden violent gust of wind or a localized storm, especially one bringing rain, snow, or sleet. As for some other possible words if you need extra there are. Boutade - a sudden outburst or outbreak. Ebullition - the action of bubbling or boiling.

Balsamic ThunderThighs

As someone who likes the word, I will be bias and agree wholeheartedly

Nathan Holliday

How about “Tempest”. I love the idea of his mana being a raging storm slowly accumulating power to annihilate anything in his path. I also think it gives the same vibe as eclipse but this new skill Tempest lets the storm of energy both inside and around him become his to accumulate and manipulate.

PigNebula

I kind of like [Accretion]. It has properties of accumulation, storage, and transference while also fitting with the astronomical theming of eclipse with a Blackhole Accretion disk. I like how it fits Nat's whole "suck in and take control of all mana", especially with regards to his black mana.

Konrad Pagacz

I like this. It's obscure but precise and sticks to the rule of powerful abilities being vert general

Joe Woodhouse

"My way or the [Mana Highway]!"

Hydrabogen

I really like [Maelstrom] as a name. It's still wafer related, but better represents the insane amounts of energy Nat handles.

Connor

It's [Torrent] or [Conduit] for me, after some thought. The simplicity of [Channel] might work as well, but I really like [Conduit]

Echohunter

I like the idea of [Wave] as a skill. Mana waves, water waves, microwaves, waving, electromagnetic waves such as radiation...

Lance Beam

I thought about the name of the new power for a day and read through the comments again. I kinda would like it if we could incorporate Nat's tendency to simplify things to reducing the letters in the power's name as well as the name being a verb and a noun and having multiple meanings. For these reasons I favour a progression from a 5 to 4 then 3 letter names for Nat. I've suggested [Flux] and there are other 4 letter suggestions, and I saw [Dam] as a suggestion which I think is good too. What about [AON]? It is a financial acronym for All or None suggesting total commitment and harmonises with Nat's concept of [Pride] to break or break through. Probably overthinking it, but it's a fun way to pass the time :)

Lance Beam

[Gyre] is good, very Thomas Covenant.

C Smith

[Dynakinesis]. All of the names suggested seem to mean movement and not really holding or storing. Dynakinesis is Manipulation of various forms of energy so moving it, holding it, storing it, molding it, anything you can think of with energy.

Flo Zilla

he just comnined them himself without token

Connor

[Capacitor] I feel would have more to do with the capacity of his mana reserves and less so to do with how fast he can channel it.

Terri Harris

So did the skills combine as a natural result of the body upgrade and Nat had no say? Or did a three skill combination token get used somehow and he picked which ones merged? .... Also I like the addition of another word or partial word to a skill, ie, arc-torrent, or arch-capacitor, flo-current. Lots of great ideas in the comments. Love the story! Thanks for writing so fast and well!

Bob Hiler

I do think having another "embarrassing" name (to Nat) would be a hilarious concept. Like if the name was like [Menstruate], Nat could never tell anybody and it'd be hilarious...

Usernames_are_annoying

TFTC

GermanicApeBoy

I just hope we get some art of Nat and all the disciples sitting together

Name1

[Torrent] or [Flux] are my favorites they feel like they create something new out of the combo. Though someone commented [Manifold] and that feels good too as what this skill is replacing is absorbing and manipulating energies into different pathways or outputs. Idk if it’s wrong to think that a skill combining like this is just consolidating your skills, though [Resonance] was kind of like that.

Sondadir

That ship as sailed long ago, the system recognised NAT as her disciple. He was inducted in the disciples event because of her, and she can use her token to discuss with him.

Peter Smith

[Capacitor]. A capacitor is a diode in a circuit whose purpose is to convert electrical wavelengths into a smoother form by releasing it in waves. It is used as an internal battery module to make sure that the circuit is never truly empty of power, and most importantly by setting a series of capacitors together in a specific order you can create a computer system. One of the earliest capacitors used in computers would be the vaccum bulb.

TBONEMAN

Flux would be a good skill name

Michael Williams

I agree. [Conduit] was the first to come to mind when cerim gave his options!

B-Slam

I Like [Conductor] [Potentially] [Vector] [Nexus] [Dynakinesis] [Accretion] the best for the definition of the words that suit the combination of the skills. [Channel] [Confluence] [Tide] sound cool though.

Todd

Current makes me think of electricity or water more than it does kinetic, thermal, or mana energy. Of the alternatives suggested in the notes, I like Torrent and Transference the best. The suggestion of Flux by several people here however is my favorite.

Valence_Entity

Ooh Source is good!

Broke Boy

I like flood or flow but I like flood more

Silence the Lamb

Also came to 'Ur Well' or 'Ur Vent' ; 'Turmoil' ;

Gutz

Does it mean the body upgrade is finished ?

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

I find it slightly hilarious that for all of Liss’s disses about Nat’s ceiling only being of a champion and all that, she really the one chasing after him trying to get him to be her disciple

SaltDILF

I really like a lot of the options for the name of the skill Cerim made already. Transference I like a lot. I thought of [Archive] or [Gyre]. You could add another word if you want more description. I assumed you are following the vague 1 word named skills.

Xander Strokes

[Conductor] or [conduit] are the two that come to mind especially with the systems tendency to use words for powerful skills that have multiple interpretations. A conductor being something that easily absorbs and transfers energy and also, as someone who conducts trains or music, etc. Conduit is something that is used to control the flow of something somewhere else, holding that thing (energy, funds, electricity, etc.), until it can be moved elsewhere, in addition to being a person or being able to connect with or channel the “otherworldly” or psychic power. I also like conduit because it hints at Nat’s spatial/teleportation abilities.

Johan Uribe

How about [Potentiality]. Describes a physical state that can store and release large amounts of energy. I like the way this is going. Bully all the minions!

Mato

Please name it "flow" not only it fits perfectly but it also could be a Warframe reference, it's an ability that allows You to retain more energy to use on abilitys

Cameron Taylor

At that point all his mana related skills will be consolidated into one. Then "fuck the system" and he'll still claim Mana Manipulation back.

Cameron Taylor

And he kind of looks down on the Original. That one died. This one is a reconstruction from a secretly transmitted imprint made from a another imprint that was made by a clone. And it still fucks everything up.

Cameron Taylor

I hope we see Nat find that out soon. To shock or disbelief.

Cameron Taylor

Upgrade to max potential!!

NerdyFellow

How about Mana Capacitor? Or you know what I do quite like current

Cameron Taylor

The System throwing that at him just before Nat goes fuck the system would be neat.

Jamarus Jenkins

It’s insane how he got that massive of a power boost before the upgrade has completed.

David McCreight

What about [Cascade]?

wackyguyvibing

Flux? Like energy is in constant fluctuations around him

Johnny

Channel flow or conduit…the simpler the names the better, like Cockroachssandra’s control. Hoping for something on that level (not skill level but potential)

Audrey WJ

I always love Nats interaction with the kids so wholesome and pure, it truly shows you that he has always had a good heart and been a decent guy even when he tries to say otherwise and act like he'll do some unthinkable thing but no that would be Victoria and Adrian who I believe would do heinous acts in the right circumstances but not Natty.

Audrey WJ

Flux and Capacitor are my name contributions. out of the ones you came up with, Conduit and Flow are my favorites.

Jeremy A-R

Dynamo is interesting. Reminds me of rain from another book. Maybe help nat get more mana

Tommy Hennessy

So will then finishing the tutorial end this series, and start the new series on Nate’s journey to become Absolute? “After Hell”?

Tommy Hennessy

Mana Highway!

Jostein 🇳🇴

I would go for something simple and fundamental - [Force]

Gavriel

Of the options I prefer Flow. Although [Surge] or [Mana Tide] or [Tides of Mana], or [Flux] are all good, but [channel] seems like it would fit the regenerator of mana subtype, not accumulation.

Cody

I think Confluence and Torrent are both excellent options

Gutz

[Barrage]: it stores, channels and controls the flow.

Jeremy A-R

Conduit is good

Kemshinmeru

I like Current or Flow as it feels inline with the combined skills.

Alecksandria Gailendale

Conduit and Torrent are my two favorites out of the bunch With Conduit being a combination of storage and movement and Torrent giving a better feel for how much mana he can push around

Andrea C

Flow or maybe weave ?

P K

I like [Channel] (it hints at how powerful it is with the simple name) Also like @thisissniall suggestion of [Conductor] as it does the above but also focus on him controlling it

Jason Pyle

I liked that too. What about Buffer or Capacitance?

Scyzim

I feel like Channel is the best because that is like the basis of Nathaniel’s strength, his ability to channel huge amounts of mana. Channel seems like a capstone skill to all of this which fits him very nicely in my opinion.

Crimson Entertainment

Confluence

Jimmer Quadro

[Weir] for a ye olde english option ala system using an Earth word to translate a complex ability

Jadan Rodriguez

[Conveyance]?

Jon

Surge, charge, arc, VAULT (volt), tide, overflow, overvault, onslaught Vault could enable him to store stuff maybe 😅

Ben

From the list I like flow best. My suggestion would be „capacity“ or „capacitor“

Jon

Flow, flood, potential, supraconductivity, supraconductor, capacitor

William Parker

Torrent or Flood is cool or maybe cascade or deluge

Ivan Jelenić

Gateway is pretty good, but the problem with it is that it can be conflated with teleportation.

Ivan Jelenić

[Maelstrom] is cool as F.

Ivan Jelenić

[Maelstrom] or [Torrent] is probably the best, like a few people suggested. Then there's [Gradient], [Dynamo], [Flux], [Vortex], [Dominion], [Manifold], [Nexus]. Which point to him channeling/focusing or storing mana/energies. Kinda like his body upg. field. Reminds me of continuity equations or conservation laws in physics.

Nicholas Pankratz

Flow was my first thought before getting to the end

Ivan Jelenić

[Flux Capacitor]. You know it. I know it. He knows it. If Nat could name it, he would pick that. Sadly, the System is not so cool as to pick names for our entertainment. (Back to the Future movie reference.)

Ivan Jelenić

Yes, but I feel like that's also too limiting. He can use [Accumulation] and other skills for energies too. I'd like him to have a skill that encompasses manipulating other energies too, later down the line.

Val the mysterious Jedi

😏 skill Mana Daddy would be on par with Immortality

Arme nd

I i think you just described the new skill perfectly, it does everything that current, conduit, and torrent do based on your description, i like Torrent kinda more since it sounds mor violent.

DarkRain

I guess you dont remember this but manual combination of skills is something that has always been possible. Its in fact one of the requirements to even enter beyond. Nat did it with oscillation and disruption, making resonance. It just takes a long time and is very hard to do

NerdyFellow

Torrent sounds pretty good to me tbh

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

I like Grid too

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

Mmm… pretty good

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

So either he used a combination token or using skills together for so long can combine them if so and so conditions are met… which potentially might be a cheat code if there are no potential failure rates. At this point, how many skills does Nat still have other than mana manipulation that haven’t been combined into a stronger skill or supposed to be really powerful off the bat (Empyrean). He building quite the arsenal.

Anthony Duenas

Maintaining the water theam would be fitting. The ocean of mana imagery we got during the Last Elf mission was really cool. So something like [Tide] would work, and as I've seen a few people mention it would tie in to [Eclipse] really well along with having room to grow thematically with more moon and ocean references to make

PizzaTime123

I like torrent a lot

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

So… does he have to meet the absolute candidate requirements again? Or is meeting it once good enough? Specificallyy for level 75 mana manipulation

thisisniall

[Conductor] - the material-physics based meaning gives you some of what you were going for with conduit/flow, playing into his self-control as an energy machine, going along with a material capable of handling large amounts of energy. but also has the 'alternate meaning' of a musical/orchestra conductor, someone controlling a lot of different kinds of energies simultaneously, the idea of merging different 'sounds' to create a single 'piece', which touches on his manipulation of multiple energy types. TBH I like the currently listed names less than the prior two big ones as Redistribution and Accumulation both felt like things with really high 'metaphysical ceilings' and while i get the idea of the skill none of the listed ones had that energy to me - you're always losing some of either the multiple energy types, storage, conversion, or 'large size/amplitude'. That's why i suggest [Conductor] which lets you do a little wordplay with multiple meanings.

Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona

Flux and Transmission sound epic too.

Crimson

I love this

DrSubterfuge

Of the ideas given, Channel seems to thematically line up the most with the concepts of moving and storing. My thinking is, "channel" can be a noun or a verb. It can contain a river, which has a current, or it it can be the active directing of something. He deepens the channel to accumulate, or accelerates the river to transfer.

Death56

Regulation or dominion. Both have the meaning of control over something albeit in diffrent forms. If I had to chose one I feel like regulation fits nat better

Crimson

I really like "Current" as well, but for the sake of brainstorming here are some more ideas: Stream, Passage, Flux, Transmission, Conveyance, Conduction, Permeation Going off the idea that single word skills that are more definitionally inclusive are more powerful, I think Flux is pretty nice as well for what you're combining here. "Flux" has several meanings, including a state of constant change or flow, a substance used in metallurgy to aid melting, and a concept in physics and mathematics for the rate of flow through a surface or substance

Iniko Betts

Flow really just works for me on this one. I’m in agreeable terms with flow being the name.

Student of Asacoco University

I mean if it’s at the same level as eclipse where the end future of level 100 ECLIPSE is a physical reality of eclipsing everyone such that only Nat can use mana instead of a metaphorical one, call this one SINGULARITY. It can hold and conduct infinite energy at max level and once used affect the entire world with the sheer amount of energy released. It’ll also reference Lissandra’s “final” move as that was absorbing all the mana possible and using it to create a black hole. Admittedly it doesn’t have as much direct meaning of release but it’ll be metaphorical for the lower levels

Morde24

What a cozy scene, almost makes you forget the death fight he is in with his body. Also Holy shit traits can go up to 4????? That makes everything worth it for sure!! His already OP traits got a supercharged level. Finally I vote the new trait is called [ Tide ] the tide accumulates, is manipulated (by the moon) and redistributes. Also feels like a name with more of an edge. The tide can be destructive, and comes with connotation of a tidal wave..

Andrew Miller

I like [Mana Vector] or just [Vector] as they encompass manipulation, accumulation, and redistribution into a singular concept (Edit: Directon which leads to [Control]). Vectors are also extremely common in not only math but describing forces in physics.

Joel

I think TIDE might also be a good alternative. He has a sort of push and pull with accumulation and redistribution. Or maybe CYCLE, would also match the themes of current.

是风

Idk but current is AMPERAGE also the process of moving energy or power through a GRID is TRANSMISSION. So my suggestions are MANA GRID keep it simple and describe the whole system of storage, transmission and interconnection(this works well with black mana. See interconnection is basically where a GRID meets another GRID and either gives it power or takes power. So black mana is him connecting to the MANA GRID of an apponent and stealing their power) so yag MANA GRID is my suggestion

Justin B

It’s more of a metaphorical meaning, but I like [Adjudication].

Asekhan

Conduit is the only one that feels like it also holds stuff

Manny

[Ur Tide] or [Ur Breaker] (like a Circuit Breaker)

hunts899

I think he’s just getting it back because he so good at manipulating mana without it, so it’d happen even if he wasn’t trying to

Jordan Jones

I vote for [Confluence], [Flux], or [Conduit]. Current is fine, but feels like a step down. “Accretion” is a very good word, is a synonym of accumulation, has a connection with black holes, and could even be said to have more emphasis than accumulation, but it seems to miss the shades of meaning that could imply release or control to account for [Mana Manipulation] or [Redistribution]. I’m guessing it’s too early for the [Control] skill, but I was hoping at least for [Mana Control].

J. Suber

What about [Swell] as in an ocean swell? I also really enjoy [Torrent]

Luis Guerrero

Personally I really like the water/weather theme names that have been suggested which to me equate his mana to an ocean i.e monsoon, torrent/torrential, surge, flood .... other people can figure out cool names

emerad _

flux, the amount of a field that passes through a surface.

Marcus Jeremias

Flow is the correct answer here in my opinion, being that flow is a more "technical" description of current and have more applications applications and variables. For more information about the types of flow: Tipos de fluxo em mecânica dos fluidos explicados https://share.google/dK0hTolk5O6kIm62a

Michael A Jordan

I like the idea of a water related name. Flow would be good but basic. If we wanted to Emphasize how much of a mana maniac Nat is (Which I do) you could use Flood or Tsunami.

josh reinoehl

"Supply chain" would work but it's not as cool

JTP

Maelstrom, unless we are saving that for the next evolution.

William Johnson

I wonder, is Nat going to become the first person to have a 100 in mana manipulation simply by dint of being the only one who insists on getting the original skill back every time he combines it? It would fit with both his stubborn iconoclasm and immense love of mana. Edit: oh, and Mana Tide.

AL

Skill name proposal : Surge or Torrent

Lorevi Q

I feel like he needs to combine skills into a skill named [Mana] at some point so that mana can become the best skill as well as the best stat

blimko

Current or channel are perfect

Gardor

I was gonna suggest "Flow", cuz i felt like it could have more meta-applications and fit thematically, and seeing that you also considered it makes me sure its the correct answer.

Kirin

Thank you for the chappie!

Daniel Maksuta

Skill name: gateway

Zard

What about [Direction]

Yshua

Where is Investiture used?

Julie Ste

Mana grid: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electrical_grid. Has electrical substation and storage components.

Khomeini Dikmar

How about [Arcane Equilibrium]? This means that Nat can accummulate ambiens and internal mana without leakage, enabling him to redistribute mana through the body or external channels with precision, and strengthening his skill to manipulate mana density, flow rate and direction, effortlessly. Basically it is a skill that create a balance internal ecosystem where mana constantly circulates in optimized loops.

bads aafsg

I suggest you give us the description. And make a community event. As to name the ability. You choose in the end and whoever wins you mention they nickname in that book in some twisted manner.

bads aafsg

Ok this is just guessing work happening here. With out actually knowing what the ability does Making a fitting name seems to me impossible. Each of the name mentioned here has a slightly different meaning. Current means something big moving in the same direction. Conduit is precise movement. Torrent means something fast. N so on n so on.

facetiousk

P.S. A tide can ebb, flow, and be visualized as a variable channeling at the edge of a massive body of fluid (in our case, mana). Not saying it is the right choice. But it is absolutely a fun one!

Mister Cakers

If he picks this it would be a very accurate skill name tbh

facetiousk

I think [Current] is sick. But, if you wanted to be a little more "on the nose" and cheeky, name it [Tide]. Then you can constantly play on how the [Eclipse] is affecting the [Tide] of his *ocean of mana* (soon to be [Mana]?!)!!! 😂

Ken Horne

Flux capacitance. To combine several suggestions.

John Doe

That's tough. A name for massive movement and storage at the same time. I feel like conduit might be closer to that. You could also call it Mana. Now Nat has stat Mana and skill Mana :D No, too soon for that? xD You would know better than us on your future uses for this skill, though. Call it a lot of these names and it feels like he could deal with more than Mana, right? So torrent feels watery, conduit feels electric, but any of them will sound like they can do more than I'd be able to think of on the shitter at work. Edit: Regulate maybe? Battery...Modulate. Manifold?

Mister Cakers

Was there skill called Convergence? If not then that

Mister Cakers

Buts it’s Nathaniel’s mana capacitor, so how about Nanapacithaniel?

TYRELL GRAY

I like tyrant, as a name. With just his mind, nat can oppress mana and primordial energy. Just like his passive he can take all the ambient mana around him. But this time not just ambient mana, he can take primordial energy. tyrant is an oppressor, where people suffer. Just like a tyrant nat mana make people suffer, it not only crush people in it’s present, it burns- (thermal), it strips people of will- (kinetic). And like a tyrant it wants everything, and like a tyrant it choose to store it- accumulation. And like a tyrant it manipulates mana in its favour, it tells it how to flow, no it demands it to flow that way. Nat demands his mana to cycle. Pure oppression.

Konrad Pagacz

I like the idea of keeping the name simple to imply it's one of the powerful skills

Konrad Pagacz

Oh, I like Energy Maelstrom. If it's the end game skill for Nat, this one goes hard

Colby Jordan

Mana jet stream.

13L00D13ANE

I really like that word, and it would be sweet as a skill name. That being said, cascade brings to mind using and exerting energy, not building and retaining it.

Joe Woodhouse

I want something that moves in the direction of [Eclipse]... don't try to describe the process or mechanism. Describe the result. Describe what is terrifying and massive - the storage but also the speed at which energies can be moved in or out. [Sequestration]? [Interdict]? [Impoundment]? (I'd suggest [Investiture] but that's part of other fiction writing, and too closely associated with it, otherwise I think it would fit well.) Or if we're emphasising the unprecedented and colossal scale: [Exarch] Governance, authority, and command over exa-level power; a title earned through struggle.

Jeremy Curtis

Deluge?

sudotrebor

It should be Vector

13L00D13ANE

He has done more than 3. Remember, the physique started out as mana circuits, and i *think* he upgraded it to 3/3 before it evolved(trait evolution token) into physique, and then 2 more times obvs.

Roy Mathews

Tftc! Confluence checks the boxes for me. Seems to highlight accumulation but also allowing for Nat as the nexus of that confluence to redirect and manipulate

Opal

[Manifold] is what we in engineering call a chamber or pipe that branches into several openings. Or just a pipe with a valve. This would show his ability to mobilize energy as well as his control, although the terminology is a bit obscure. Otherwise, I also think [Torrent] would be better than [Current], as it sounds and feels more visceral, with a lot more potential for chaos than [Current].

The_torres

I kinda like the idea of [Dam] since it would also make for some cheeky jokes. Plus a dam embodies that idea of collecting a large reservoir and then controlling the output from it to harness energy. Then when a dam breaks it releases a natural disaster’s worth of water/energy to destroy everything in its path.

Andrew

I think channel makes the most sense if you want the name to represent what the skill can do. As you said the skill allows nat to channel large amounts of energy, it just doesn't sound very cool. So torrrent might be a better name, but sounds more aggresive.

zoarian

Another river-based suggestion: Tributary

Charles

Redistribution and accumulation seem like very high tier and conceptual. Some ideas are [Power], [Generation], [Flood], [Source], [Logistics], [Managistics], [Siphon]

kyle

That's one of the skills getting combined! 😂

JD

I like current, but torrent feels like it would be more fitting. I terms of an option other than what you've suggested, confluence would go hard. Confluence symbolizing Nat's multiple energy streams raging and merging to flow into a single body he manipulates and stores would work really well. It would also be a good representation of the tireless effort Nat has put into sculpting and mastering his skills

kyle

I just had a thought if you choose [Nexus] you should add leyline.... [conflux] or [confluence] would be better without it.

13L00D13ANE

I really like the sound of [Deluge]. The only real downside i see is that both torrent and deluge heavily imply water. We dont always, but the vast majority of the time we use those words it is to describe water, or liquids.

Yozora

How about: [Moon], Moon has lots of phases and not only that, but it can control ocean tides

YaBoiiSloth

When I read the combination by first thought was Channel.

Kevin

Correct me if I’m wrong, but “flux” refers to the rate of change of a given energy or variable in physics, right?

Kevin

Would it be Capacity instead of capacitor? Also, that name could be a little too abstracted in scope. Like it might imply capacity for too many things.

Yozora

[ Flow ] is better, u can stale the flow, maintain the flow, increase the flow, reduce the flow and so on, plus i don't like [ Current ] as a name

Kevin

It feels really fitting given what he is doing to his body.

Kevin

I really like the conduit suggestion you put down. In the Authors note.

WINTEX

[Flood]?

Jonathan Nading

Lissandra already had this skill, actually. Showcased it in Book 1 like an absolute BAMF and caused the end of the world ha

13L00D13ANE

I really like [Confluence]. [Convergence] also sounds good. From what you suggested, i like [Torrent] the most

Yetitech

I was thinking [Tide] to me this is the underlying movement of an ocean. I think it would show the insane reserves of mana Nat has as well as represent the constant motion/control he exerts over his mana. It also has an added benefit that while maybe he is always actively using [Tide] with his circulation but also he can adjust it to like a high tide or low tide or something

Anton

Probably abit too Engineering but when I read the note I thought [Mana Bandwidth]. But I guess that doesnt really work as bandwidth can both be small or large. Ah well my 2 cents :).

Gwiddion

Ye current to me reads as Something slower than torrent. Stream is also nice

GuyWhoReadsALot

[Capacitor] Stores, holds, and moves large amounts of energy. Maybe [Manapacitor]

DeadbearKill

Torrent goes kinda hard. Shows pressure and power.

TwistedVanity

Zero-point [energy ZPE]- A concept in quantum physics referring to the energy of the vacuum state. Its real, and though can't yet it was theorised it could control infinite energy. Ergokinesis or Dynamokinesis: The psychic ability to manipulate energy Fusion I also Transference and flow

Novice Mana Manipulator

Less abstract but encompasses all the concepts would be [Circulation] If we can use more words [Aetheric Circulation]

River

Singularity as in a Black Hole because all the energy forms go in and out comes mana specifically black mana

hunts899

This chapter is peak🥹❤️

Daniel Gidman

I think Capacitor might be a good alternative name

Connor

[Torrent] feels the best to me from your ideas, and from me you get [Deluge]

Malestan

My first thought was of the word "Tsunami" to keep the "flowing/water theme". Then I though in a broader/cosmic sense, and "Nova" came out (totally not because I LOVE this word)

Ishamoridin

Throughput!

Nemesis

Another idea, leaning more on the side of an abstract name: Auroura. The multiple colours streaming across the sky as a reference for different energy types.

Alex Reed

[Knitting 2.0]

Ansordia

Transient... But its not exactly great but its atleast my idea... I like Confluence and Torrent! But ofcourse there will be one person who makes a genius sugestion eitherway it will be awesome I can already see.

River

I think Confluence or Prism would work as a since it seems to be focused around taking energy in it's various forms and converting them to the one TRUE form of Mana! ... and back as needed

Andrew

Thank you!

Apollo Greed

I like Flow!

Abel

I’d suggest ‘Change’, but ‘Change’ is really high up there on the conceptual power-scale. If you think the skill is that strong, then I feel like ‘Change’ is near perfect. The only issue is that it doesn’t consolidate the accumulation part of the skill. ‘Torrent’ is mighty nice, because if its ‘Current’ that means the skill inherently has a dial for how much it pushes through at a time making fine control inherent, if it is ‘Torrent’ it probably allows an avenue to make ‘Focus’ level up some more to control it better. In that vein; ‘Tsunami’ fits but it’s way too water centric named. Final Opinions; ‘Change’ ‘Torrent’ ‘Harness’ (Addendum: ‘Flux’, ‘Vector’, ‘Balance’, ‘Equilibrium’)

Arthur MAMOU

I propose [Flux] for the name of the new competence

Florean Fortescue

Torrent sounds better, semantically more powerful than current

Bogie91

[Surge]

hdfgdf

I’ve seen some people say nexus and id agree. Would be cool if he eventually became the nexus of all mana

mechanizedbush

There's some good suggestions here, but I'd add [Geyser], [Vortex], and [Confluence]

Teratos

I like [Nexus], as I see some people suggesting

Xeo

I like [Flow] the best, it has the same simple feel as Weapon to me. Otherwise Conduit, Channel, and Current in no real order

Rad

I also just thought of Flux, meaning a state of continuous change or flow

Shadovas

What about Cell as in an electrical cell.

Geran Tu

Deep ocean currents are driven by something called thermohaline circulation, referring to temperature and salinity. Since Nat is driven by temperature and mana, how about calling it [Thermothaumic Circulation]?

Rad

Not because I think it’s the best of the recommended but Effuse/Effusion is an interesting idea I haven’t seen brought up.

Tsorov

Maybe Flood? Or Pulsar, meaning a star that is "shooting electromagnetic pulses out of it's poles in regular intervals?

Flo Zilla

Nexus is really good

Valence_Entity

I like conduit or current. You could add "Nu" before either of them for a more whimsical vibe. So "Nu Current' or "Nu Conduit". Nu ("Watery One"): in ancient Egyptian religion, is the personification of the primordial watery abyss which existed at the time of creation.

Reps A

So I was searching for a good name that describes the outcome and the feeling of impending doom lol but my suggestions are Upheaval, Halcyon and or Leviathan Rising or just Leviathan these names come closest to representing "the calm before the storm" which is exactly what people feel when Nathaniel channels mana lol. After doing more research Leviathan is probably the best name I listed I'll post my reasoning why from the net, "Leviathan" stands for a large, powerful, and often chaotic sea monster from ancient mythology and the Old Testament, and it can also represent something of immense size or power. In a biblical context, it symbolizes evil or the untamable forces of nature that God has power over. In modern usage, the term is often used to describe anything huge, such as a ship, or in political philosophy, as in Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan.

Micken

Flood seems fitting.

ED

Of the provided suggestions I think Torrent works best. All the others only describe the movement of energy but are missing the accumulative/storage aspect. Torrent atleast implies a very large amount of energy being moved. Conduit could work too since Nat's body is becoming a conduit of mana, but I actually think this would work better for if he ever upgrades his trait again: mana circuit -> mana physique -> mana conduit

Vanilla Van

Might as well give Nat a Bow while we’re at it

Ben Maher

No sure if this would fit what you're looking for but I like the idea it being call [Transplant]. I just like thinking about the unique way he could you a skill like that.

David McCreight

Skill name ideas: [Potential] (like electrical potential), [Asymptote] (like mathematical lines approaching infinity), [Mana Torus] (like the shape they’re making fusion reactors out of)

Scraser

Another train of thought: Compression. Does sound like a high level skill but it does store and hold large amounts of energy. In the same vein: distillation, compaction, condensation.

Matthew Lewis Worthington

Tbh after reviewing all the comments Tide or Riptide sounds the best and what you are looking for. It is the massive flow of water from one place to another based on an outside force. It also stores water in a location holding it there for an extended period of time until a new force pulls it away. This coincides extremely well with what you are saying for it. You even get storage cause water will get stuck in pools as the force pulls part of it away. So I would pick Tide or even Riptide if you want a more violent connotation. Cool sounding would be like tidal engine or tidal drive or tidao conflux but these don't feel right for this story. So Tide or riptide work best I think

TRexBert

To me, that sounds more like a primary class name than a skill, but it's still a good idea.

kyle

[conflux] could be great too as well as [Nexus] both have great long term potential as well.

kyle

I just made a comment saying the same!

Mr.Moon

I would like "Current Weaver"

Wasim Petersen

I love Tide. My first thought was undertow, but that is so much better

kyle

Nexus! would be a great name....making him the meeting point of all energy deciding from where and to where it should go!

Wasim Petersen

Honestly. Reservoir seems cooler than Current. Undertow also keeps that fluid flowy vibe with more power attached. Confluence also one ups the current theme. Nexus is also pretty damn cool and reminds me of my intro to reading manga (spectrumnexus.com) and fits damn well as the convergence point of mana and energy. Hell I’d love to recommend Loom too as it is kind of like the convergence point of all the threads (of mana/energies) but knowing how much Nat hated anything to do with knitting/weaving maybe that’s not the best. Then again, it would be hilarious if his best skill to date is something he loathes the name of 😂

Scraser

Current ist good. I'd prefer Torrent because it sounds less peaceful and more powerful, channeling more might. Continuing this logic: Tide. Less watery, more cold: Avalanche. More hot: Eruption. Would also got the thermal part.

forgetfulposum

Some people suggested "Tide" as a name idea and I think it fits perfect where Ebb and flood represent the processes of gathering and using the energies. At the same time the sea is great symbolic image to represent the storage of large quantities of energy. So I really like Tide.

Martí Herms

How about Capacitor

ED

Current implies movement of energy, but is missing the storage aspect. A lot of the other suggestions fall into the same problem and don't cover all the aspects you highlighted. Circuit would be the most accurate since a circuit includes both current and capacitance. But since Mana Circuit was one of the previous traits idk if you want to reuse that as a skill

tishane Imperial MageKiller

Lol im Jamaican we call electricity Current, and when its gone we say current gone which means its not flowing , I think either Current or Flow is good

TRexBert

Little Watchmaker

I like the name you picked, have you considered something vague that could eventually lead to, Infinite or Boundless? something like Nascent? - I like the suggestions for Current, Torrent, and Flow. but they don't necessarily talk about large volumes of mana.

TRexBert

What do you think of “Charge” or ‘Load’? Of Cerim's choices, I like “Flow” best. Something else that could be really interesting would be “Energy Control.” On the one hand, as an homage to Liss, and on the other, with the possibility that he can still gain "Control".

Joseph Serret

What about maelstrom, unstoppable accumulating explosive power, or helix since he is working on those shapes, binding and channeling more power so that its more xplosive or dense

Asinitez MC

I think [Nexus]could work (like the central connection to mana)

Nimps

Yeah I really like flux

WhiteLeeopard

Tsunami

Compendium

Accretion Disk? Definitely goes with the black mana black hole shenanigans

Charles Simon

The problem with torrent is that it gives the impression it’s out of control which it clearly isn’t. I prefer confluence or conduit

Arnon Parenti

I really wish the new skill was called Wave so Nat could Smile and Wave, just Smile and Wave.

John

Yess i also like torrent. Conduit for a ruler level skill

Daniel Francis

Capacitance would be the perfect name defined as : "the ability of an object to store an electric charge, measured as the ratio of the stored charge to the change in electric potential."

Abhishek

Definitely not current. Surge is an option but also kinda boring. What about Fusion?

Flo Zilla

My suggestion is "Convergence". the coming together of mana, thermal and kinetic energy forming a new combined pool for them all. All 3 in equal amounts, whenever one energy is taken out, the others redistribute themselfes to keep the balance regardless of how much total energy is accumulated, or taken out.

Al

Maybe [Tidal Torrent] to add some pizzaz?

Al

[Tide] is cool bc it refers to the ocean of energies capable of being stored, and tides move massive quantities of energy every day. I also like that it pairs well with [eclipse], as tides are caused by the moon

FarFromLogic

The skills always seem to have far reaching application beyond just applying to mana, like how clone Nat used sacrifice on memories not just physical things, the name will also determine the ways in which the skill can be utilised, I like [Conduit] most, it matches what he is making his body into and could still keep functions of [Redistribution] and [Accumulation], though I think [Torrent] or [Flow] could be really interesting as well, one is violent application of force/energies and the other is unstoppable controlled movement of them, both fit different parts of his mana-maniac ways

im_among_you

torrent and conduit sound great but i was thinking along the lines of assimilation for drawing in large amounts of energy or dispersion for the redistribution part of the skill.

Legend7nite

Inundation could also work, instead of current

Lance Beam

I prefer the physics definition, the amount of radiation or particles incident on an area in a given time.

Edmund Dillon

Tftc!!!! Conduit or Current sounds pretty cool. Looking forward to the completion of this upgrade!

ein Google Nutzer

Considering he got it from his efforts in his body upgrade something like vein or artery is also optional. We can put something on top like with ur line and do something like cosmic vein or ori vein (from original). I like the suggestions the others made more though

Dsaroeth

To me "Torrent" evokes the massive amounts of energies more so than "Current" however neither hint at storage on their own, maybe "Torrent Capacitor"? Might be outright stating rather than hinting what it does with that though. Other suggestions: [Torrential Current], [Overload], [Flux Capacitor].

tost

How abaout [Mana Nexus] or [Mana Vessel]? It cant simply be Vessel/Nexus because the concept would be to broad. If it should be one word, what about [Manifold]?

Primo

TFTC for the names Flow seems dope too or maybe "Tidal" to change from the usual naming patterns

Tan Choon Long

Flow was the term I thought of first, cascades perhaps?

Marvin T

BOOOOOOOO👎

Danny

My idea : Toroidal field ( it comes from the fusion Reaktor Tokamak and its the force witch keeps the plasma in check) Mana dady always reminds me of a wonky Reaktor 😆)

Lance Beam

TFTC. What about [Flux]? Welcome back my beloved!!

Sushitrash

Torrent and Flow sound cooler, I agree. I recommend Intake, Wellspring, Stream, Surge. I like Harmony as a concept too like Eclipse

Pazl

I also really like [Cascade] for his behavior of accumulating, channeling and making the energies more volatile and deadly through bouncing them.

John

TFTC, i think channel is fine. If yiu want to keep the name for long, then "conduit" sounds the most epic/powerful

Kradish

I like flow or channel, but I guess it depends on where the skill is headed. Current brings to mind both electric current and water-related currents.

Ciobi

Life is too short to not rage bait kids. --> not to rage bait kids sounds better

Blooper

Examples from ChatGPT: ChatGPT 5.1 You said: Give me examples of a single word that abstractly represmentes something that channels and/or accumulate large quantities of flux. Examples: a DAM can channel and accumulate large amounts of water, or a CAPACITOR can channel and accumulate energu/electricity ChatGPT said: Here are some single-word nouns that abstractly represent something capable of channeling and/or accumulating large quantities of flux, whether physical, energetic, informational, or conceptual: Strong, general metaphors Reservoir — stores large quantities (fluid, energy, data, etc.). Conduit — channels or carries flow (fluid, signals, influence). Vessel — holds or accumulates a substance or abstract quantity. Silo — accumulates or isolates large stores (grain, data, resources). Matrix — a medium that channels or organizes flow. Crucible — gathers and transforms intense inputs. Furnace — channels and accumulates heat/energy for transformation. Engine — channels energy/input flux into work/output. More abstract / conceptual Catalyst — channels interactions to produce amplified effects. Gateway — channels flows (data, influence, energy). Pipeline — directs continuous flow (data, resources). Node — point of convergence and redistribution of flow. Hub — central accumulator and distributor (data, traffic, influence). Well — deep accumulator (resources, knowledge, data). Pool — accumulation of resources or latent potential. Energetic / physical metaphors Accumulator — explicit abstract term for storing energy/charge. Reactor — channels and transforms large energy fluxes. Battery — universal metaphor for stored potential. Sink — location where flow accumulates (heat sink, data sink). Natural systems Basin — collects water, flows, or abstract “drainage”. Delta — region channeling multiple incoming/outgoing fluxes. Confluence — meeting point of flows. If you want something more mythic/poetic Forge — where energy is gathered and transformed. Vortex — concentrates and channels immense flow. Maelstrom — powerful accumulator and director of motion. Beacon — gathers and radiates energy/information. I honestly like VORTEX or CONFLUENCE. But there's a lot of great options.

Stoney

Well that came out of nowhere. I shouldn't be surprised but damn! > should hint at the skill’s ability to channel large amounts of energies, hold, and store them. Current works quite well imo. I felt like it fit when I read it. Source is arguably really good - especially since it's combining 3 separate skills. However you could argue that Source is Too strong of a name i.e. maybe if it combined 4 or 5 skills. Tides/Tidal. Leans more towards channeling and storing energy but storing and holding go hand in hand with this name imo. It also does give the impression of being large/unstoppable/inevitable which could be good. Other names kind of don't gel that well or evokes too much of 1 thing e.g. Dam (more for storing) Spillway (more for channeling and even then kinda just sounds bad). Attenuator (more for fine control, small volume and changing others mana to your own)

Bladehawk256

2/4 got me way more excited than I expected lmao Even more than then the skill fusion lol

James Skinner

Channel, current, transfer, direct, conduct

Gio

Supercapacitor/ultracapacitor might fit

Bruno Correia

I like torrent better, but could be because of my Pirate side

dampsey damamme

"I knew it was coming, Biscuit knew it was coming, the system knew it was coming. Yet still, fuck the system. Congratulations, you have acquired a new skill! [Mana Manipulation]" God I love it how we all know and see [Mana Manipulation] comme back every time for a better mastery. Low-key going for Nat Ruler of Mana ❤️

Lizy Flore

The idea of water is really good. Flow, tide, flood or cascade are my favorites.

Nemesis

I also like conflux/confluence, I threw them in my suggestions when I posted as well.

firte

Wow, he’s done it again 750 chapters in and I’m still so excited for what’s in store! TFTC!

James

Though ive just seen [Flood] in the comments and it sounds cooler while having the same implied description😅. Maybe [Tsunami]🤔 and yet its link to water is a bit too strong even if you could say the same about [Current] and [Flood].

Nemesis

Current seems pretty good, but some alternative suggestions: evocation, surge, astral wind, superconductor. Conflux or astral confluence also seem cool.

Youkai-sama

[Conduit] sounds Beast!

Pazl

Between [Current] and [Torrent], I would choose Torrent because of the quantity and explosivenes he use when he goes all out. Current would be a bit to tame imo

anakin hanson

Mana torrent or sense it came during a body up grade somthing like "one with mana" could work

Hakron

Tftc! Very cool to see the system rearding Nat's abslotue insanity. I'm hoping this new ability he's gotten is gonna be something just as scary as those incredibly vague, broken ones as [Immortality]. Definitely the coolest in my opinions are Current, Torrent, and Flow. May I suggest a metaphorical: [Evocation]? (EDIT: My reasoning being it sounds fairly old and fantastical, as with his Empyrean Lance and how others say he uses very ancient techniques from Liss.) Great chapter as always!

Blaxxun

From your options I like Conduit and Flow best. Other than that I also really like Flux, suggested by Daniel Playford, it also means flowing of the tide or continuous flow in large quantities. Torrent would be a good contender too. Honorable mention for Accretion as suggested by Aoth the Arcane, i like the feel of the name, but maybe not as fitting, would be good for a skill that slowly grows stronger over time, simply by existong, tho.

Fdrugc

What grade skills is Current?

Antony Silva

Damn, Nat is really good with kids, this chapter is fucking adorable.

Skyra

My sugestion would be [Cascade].

Jak Renata

What do you think ab Scaling as a name?

RadiantSpren

I like Torrent, or Current.

Fdrugc

Tftc

Fdrugc

I find it strange that mana manipulation was combined with the other skills, did he choose that?

Augustus

How does one train a pup to lick people that is the best trick a dog can learn. Edit needed: "Sophie comes out and lets the others stuff grass" -> "Sophie comes out and let the others stuff grass"

James

Thanks for the chapter and keep up the good work❤️. In regards to the skill name, Current fits quite well because large bodies of water hold vast amounts of liquid that are distributed through currents which involves temperature regulation and vast quantities of kinetic energy. Nathaniel's body as the body of water(despite the size difference), and the temperature and kinetic energy involved signify his control over thermal and kinetic energy🌊🔥⏩️

3M

For skill name. Current isn’t bad but it doesn’t feel so high level like manifestation is. How about Crucible – a vessel that holds and transforms energy

Fdrugc

Does this normally happen to traits?

zoarian

I like the idea of using flow/current but without mentioning them explicitly. Referencing rivers gives an implication of movement without being too obtuse. My suggestions: - Conflux/Confluence -> a point at which rivers meet. Would work with the skill being a merger of Redistribution and Accumulation, i.e. Nat is a merger of his primordial energies and mana. -Delta/Estuary -> a point at which rivers meet oceans/seas and deposit sediment. Would work particularly well with Accumulation (Nat is the delta of those energies, the point at which they accumulate).

ein Google Nutzer

Flood

venkata siddhardha yarlagadda

3rd body upgrade. 1st is at 100, 2nd at 250.

Antony Silva

I think [Flood] or [Deluge] would be cooler and still describe the skill

Shmeb

I love torrent

TreeReader

Lol supernova would ve a good name eventually but probably not for this one 🤣

Adrian Rake

Thank you for this surprising and well written chapter. I am also not so good with names and English is not my mother’s tongue. I came up with just one option: Towering.

Caden Hofer

TFTC 👍

seth

Capacitor?

Oaktree

I personally like “Maelstrom” a mass of whirling fluid or air, especially a whirlpool or whirlwind. Kinda abstract like eclipse But also describes how nat moves mana kinetic and thermal energy through his body.

V

TFTC. I like Torrent, would suggest River for consideration. Got Flywheel from Grok, which may not fit but is kind of cool.

Emmanuel Martinez

Congratulations, you have successfully combined [Redistribution], [Accumulation], and [Mana Manipulation]! A new skill has been created. You have acquired [Redis-cumu-tribution] How’s that one, Cerim?

Fdrugc

[Mana Manipulation - Level 0 > Mana Manipulation - Level 74] Does he have to bring it back to 75 for the absolute candidate requirements?

Austin Dominguez

I really like Confluence as a higher tier name for the three concepts. Redistribution was energy transitioning from absorption/release to kinetic/thermal transmutation to thermal/mana conversion, accumulation is safely storing and using large amounts, and mana manipulation is the control aspect of the skill. Current would best if the skill is more about the flow of large amounts of power rather than controlling them in which case Confluence is a lot nicer to me

ahmad mashhadwi

Damn you and your cliffhanger TFTC!!!!

mitchell kaiser

I like Channel personally, also you can think of a Channel full of water too for storage purposes. Love the little apprentices!

Dr.Awkward

Tftc! I personally think that [Channel] is really cool as it would imply moving at the most basic level a bunch of "things" (kinetic, heat, mana) and being such a "simple" word as we have been hinted at, it probably is a pretty pretty powerful skill when leveled

Liam Zay

I love when Nat bullies kids. I didn't expect the traits to he able to get an extra upgrade level. I wonder if the third one will also get that or if he'll need another body upgrade. I like mana conduit more than current personally.

ZaA

I mean.. to accumulate and redistribute you need to have Control. But seeing as this is Mana.. i think you just change Mana Manipulation to Mana Control

frankie doerr

So redistribution is change and accumulation is storage so in my mind i was thinking maybe potential idk when i was thinking of storage and change and energy I was thinking of nuclear power and thats just potential energy and since this seems like a big step it needs to be a one word that encompasses a lot so potential

Nemesis

Mana manipulation is down to 74 after re-acquisition. Presumably that means his Absolute quest is now down to 1/3 objectives completed. Also, wow, was that all Nats tampering, or was that not an uncommon result for a second stage body upgrade?

Conor

I like flow, i also feel its open ended enough to be applied to more than mana.

Mads jæger

I thought nat already had 3/3 upgrades for mana physique. Gotta check

Aoth the Arcane

What about [Accretion]? I will think about a few more...

Daniel Playford

I like the idea of flow as well. Or maybe flux? Flux: an abnormal discharge of blood or other matter from within the body. But we all know Nat is the most normal. So maybe flux doesn't fit too well. I can't remember if you've used if for anything yet either

Oliver Martens

TFTC, love the name of the new skill. It may be a little dramatic, but I think I like conductor a lot, too. In my mind, it would be like a orchestra of different mana wavelength (which is cool, because waves of sound…) being directed by Nat all alone, no matter how enormous the amount of instruments or how overwhelming the sound.

GFreem

This chapter really should be called "Life is too short to not rage bait kids" tftc

im_among_you

I almost want to suggest Tide... But I think it's a bit too abstract... though it links with Eclipse for a moonish theme

Conor Reed

Hmm, I think torrent works decent. Confluence might also work. Thanks for the chapter!

Dunkelgod

Tftc. Die you consider something like. Mananance? Mana Dominance Seems fitting to me.

Oaktree

“I’m terrible at naming things.” When you tell a lie a least make it believable.

ShyviaAngel

I think something containing world would do great Like World current or anything simillar Because just current feel too small Compar3d to what Nat just channel and accumulate

Konrad Pagacz

Deluge?

Nylyx

Torrent is most accurate i think. The other ones imply stuff other then large quantities of flowing energy.

Nemesis

Did you notice that, in typical Nat fashion, Nat did not distinguish that the Lissandra he met was a copy from the tutorial. I suppose, given that it is known she died a long time ago, that it goes without saying. It is also reflective of how Nat treats them as real people.

Flores

Torrent is my favorite, another option could be Riptide

NoctisMi

Conduit sounds more fitting from the combined skills

Daniel Velasco

I personally like flow

XPLili

tftc, at some point Nat will just gain a skill called Mana lol

Handholding Slut

Flow sounds cool. With potential for using with kinetic energy as well

BlackRazaras

Thanks for the chapter

Jacob Oswalt

Yissssss

Claro reyes

TFTC!!!

jax rammus

<3 How about event horizon? He collects mana and such like a black hole, until he can't contain it and releases it like a qusar. I find it pretty fitting.
