40 Energy State (1/2)
'The omnipresent energy in our world is divided into eight types: the neutral type and the seven elemental types. Those consists of fire, earth, water, air, lightning, light and darkness. Every type of magic in our world is based upon one or multiple of those types of energy. Neutral energy can be used as a placeholder in case a certain type of energy is not available, but its effects are limited. When establishing one's soul world, you should start by understanding which type of energy suits you the best and build something based on it...'
This is a passage about energy Joshua read in a book. This theory was commonly agreed upon, both old Easa & modern day's Cestor used it as a base for handling energy and developing their soul world.
And it was completely wrong.
Joshua's soul had been deemed to have an affinity for lightning. Therefore, most of his world consisted of either lightning or neutral energy. However, over the course of his experiments, Joshua had found a few contradictions regarding this statement. The first one appeared pretty early on when Catherine gave him some of her water energy to help establish his world. He just drank the water and it somehow produced lightning for him. He was pretty ignorant about the matter back then, but in retrospect, it was pretty odd. When he started using runes, it became more apparent. For example, if he had no fire energy inside his world, how did he manage to use the little fire rune? The obvious answer would be: well the rune creates fire energy as long as you put neutral energy in it! However, as Joshua found out, this was a half-truth. Seeing the interior of the rune in action, it was clear what was really going on.

In reality, there was only one type of energy. To be more precise, a single particle of energy could take on different states, but it was possible for this state to change. Let's keep the fire rune as an example: when Joshua inserted energy in a neutral state into it, he saw those particles being turned into the fire state. The rune then released the newly made fire energy to create flames.
”Sweetie, I'm going test a few things out. It's probably best if you leave for now. I don't want to make your head explode like mine almost did,” he told Catherine.
”Very well, it's getting pretty late anyway. Unlike you, I need to rest. Just promise me to be careful…. Please, remove that insane grin you have right now,” she replied, smiling.
”Don't worry. My goal is creation, not destruction. While demolishing stuff is inevitable along the way, I don't want to make a habit out of it.”
Catherine nodded and vanished, leaving Joshua to freely do what he wanted.
Joshua considered his options for a moment and established a plan. His research toward runes had let to a rather fascinating discovery. There was no way around it, if he wanted to reform his soul world from scratch, he had to get a better understanding of energy particles. Luckily, he had every tool in his possession to do that.
