ARMA MAGA CREATION
Commonly known as the tools of a Magician. Arma Maga all have their beginnings as mundane items that any human can get. They can be from a butter knife and a piece of cloth to a sword and a piece of armor. Such items are used to create Arma Maga as their vessels. With the procurement of a vessel, the process of making an Arma Maga can begin. The Magician, who wishes to create one, must take the vessel and analyze it. Through analysis, he must know five things about the vessel: its purpose, its history, its structure, its construction, and its composition.
However, there are some forms of magic that can skip this all together such as the manner of Runecraft as they merely have to force an "ability" onto the vessel. Part of this reason is because Runecraft is considered a very belief-based magic where actual real and logical understanding is unnecessary. Jewelcraft is another form of magic where it is unnecessary to go through the analysis process as jewels have their own mystical properties and simply need Mana to be stored inside. Jewels can be shaped and even outfitted onto another vessel to allow it to obtain such properties.
For those who aren't as lucky, the analysis process is important. By already knowing and understanding the five things, the Magician can begin "carving" a magical characteristic/ability onto the vessel. They "carve" this specific characteristic/ability into the purpose, history, structure, construction, and composition. Through this process of carving, a single "circuit" or a cluster of "circuits" is engraved which serves as a representation of this new characteristic/ability that has been installed. This may even take a very long process to complete. Yet, once it is done, the Arma Maga only needs Mana and will or just the latter to be activated.
Do note that "circuits" exist in Arma Maga, not in living beings especially Magicians, unless there are very specific circumstances.
