I defined Ki as a kind of linked mana that is acquired by years of special training, and hence how martial artists and anime samurai perform their muggle/Neutral-defying feats. However, due to the very small amounts of linked mana produced in this manner, a Ki specialist usually uses it for Reinforcement magic, and there's just not enough to be used on shooting and bombardment magics.

As for cyborgs and IS in general, I've tried various means and ways to make it work, but the more technical I got, the more I found myself falling into the tech trap of loopholes. In the end, due to the nature of IS being tied to one's genes, I settled for a power source coming from those genes.

The impetus for evolution.

The strength of BURNING PASSION and HOTBLOOD!!!

And I'm perfectly serious here.
