Ah back to the chi power system. And it's something I personally I suck at having hard decisions for... ✨ Items ✨
Now it's not because I think my ideas suck(it's not that kind of issue for once even if it slightly creeps up it's bashed away by friendship. Remember folks friends can often bash your insecurities away with a few words of encouragement and perspective.)
The problem is I have too many ideas that sort of take over and clog it all.
The mind will be like. 'we have this neato idea for the supportive items for our power system. We can base it off the types of good luck charms like charms,amulets and talismans. It'll be amazing.'
'what about those medallions from tmnt 03s tribunal season?
'Sure we can do that.'
'the 3 Japanese imperial treasures could fit your 3 energy systems.'
'y-yeah it could.'
'oh! And those cool animal themed miraculous jewels and the Jackie chan talismans!'
'Uh-huh?'
'you talked to your friend about possible masks that house fox spirits?'
'what were these items for again?'
It ends I like that thank you inner Mikey for being a chaos gremlin that all artists might have.
But critical restraint issues and self complaints aside we're gonna hoof this up with a 3 part series. For the supportive items in this ki power system
Why 3 parts? Because why not do it in pairs of 3 this system loves the rule of 3 if it can get away with it!
The wild shamans of the wild days didn't just sit around and wait for their chaotic handling of ki(or the beasts power as they might call it among many names) to destroy and or corrupt/mutate them. No, they did attempt to channel and control the power they harnessed. And to do so they first tried to create an object that could harness the chaotic beastial power within by channeling a certain kind of animal.
These were called the beasts emblems. And could be considered the very first product in the ancient series of ki supporting items known as the beasts treasures
A beasts emblems was an item engraved with the full unbridled brunt of ki. All aspects of it were infused into the vessel object that would not only bare the symbol of an animal the engraver wanted(typically it was the easiest to engraver your inner animal/inner beast aka the inner wild side and savage form/forms of your soul), but also carry it's own ki signature to use in tandem with the wielders energy. These emblems held within them often unique powers that the wielders could call upon. Once again based on their engraved animal. 2 powers per emblem was always the safest way to breach the limit. Any more could make the emblem dangerous.
The pure concentrated animalistic energy within an emblem not only could attract and hold different manner of 'inner beasts' but also spawn its own form of 'spirit' called the emblems echo. A form of inner beast that manifests all on its own within the emblem. Basing itself off of either a previously hosted spirit or the emblem's animal engraving. Which ever one is strongest at the time of the echos creation.
Eventually however, a problem was discovered with this channeling tool. It was discovered it could hasten ones painful corruption or transformation, even taint there ki or if it began to absorb within them(which it would. Both consciously and unconsciously) or could possibly crudely shape and mold there ki to match the shape of the emblem if they didn't match the emblem. With no ideas on how to safe guard it yet they had to stop making emblems and instead they had to split up the power between the 3 main beasts treasures
Each treasure was dedicated to a specific problem that was faced within the individual. So a weaker but more personalizable item for those who could not handle the power or safeguard against the emblems. These treasure would often help with allowing the ki channeler to understand a certain aspect of their inner beast they drew power from. The item corresponded to Something they lacked and acted not only as a focuser to understand them. But also as a safeguard,protector against certain aspects of those parts.
to better understand the instinctual senses and ways of there inner beast they would enscribe themselves with the beasts heart . Something that corresponded with the ancient ki icons of old. Often making them appear as permanent tattoos. The heart also safeguarded from channelers being consumed by rapidly powerful bursts of emotion and instinct.
For those who needed to understand the strength of there in er beast. Physical or otherwise they would possess the beasts body this would also safeguard their body from getting extremely mutated and corrupted. Locking their form into their desired human to humanoid form if desired.
And those who wished to understand the minds and often impulsive or instinctual decision making and focusing of the inner beast they would don the face of the beast something that would also safeguard there minds from possession of animal impulses and decisions. To allow them to focus and hold on their sapient mind from becoming too chaotic and unstable.
Each of them invoked something from the beast. Something that you might notice relates to the very gifts that ki enscribed within the energies that split off from it.
Spirit energies ties to kis sensory abilities and sensations
Magics energies ties to kis beastial form and strength
And psionic energies ties to kis pure instinctual knowledge.
A thing to note is that these treasures still can spawn an emblem echo but it's slower to form and more often then not has a harder time overpowering and changing you.
Perhaps this doesn't make as much sense as it could. But these treasures did more than latch onto a specific aspect of ki. It latched onto specific energies to help balance out any energy you might lack yourself. This is how they safeguard and balance you while helping you get close to that part of it. The kart you might lack to get to yourself or might just be curious in getting to further in touch with.
...
Do I feel self assured by what I just wrote... Not as much as I wanted to but I'll never be perfectly satisfied. Better to make something satisfactory in some way rather than hold onto it and try to make it perfect or try to make it something insanely in-depth. The point of this system is each component is relatively simple and together you can make something complex with it... I think.
Oh well they aren't that bad I just ran out of stuff for the psionics analog item so I feel like I floundered or copped out but we all know I didn't. Lemme know if you liked what I tried to do for the masks. Anyway.

Alright we covered savage treasures made to help with controlling or knowing about your inner beast and cover what you lack.
We covered energy gems that come from within ones body and not only show how the naturally messes with it's energies but learning to focus those individual energies that popped up.
There is only one type of item left. The most modern item of them all and the special term for all of these supporting chi and ki items. The totems
The term charm itself applies to all forms of item made from, made for, or used to help with. Ki or chi. It's a term used to describe all other items we've already covered before now. This class has often been called charms but the more accurate term would be totem.
And has a whole host of item terms deep within it that we're gonna cover a little today.
There's 2 types of totems the talismans and the amulets
Talismans and amulets almost function as a sort of yin and Yang with each other with what they usually represent.
A talisman is an object that's made to attract and bring things to you or somebody else. As well they're the main offense if you will. Not just giving you things but letting you use them as offensive techniques almost in the form of a portable spell or technique if they were created right. And amulets are objects made to repel and push things away from you or somebody else(the perfect way to help mitigate or lessen energy stress and other conditions/side effects one gets from ki and chi). They would be the shield to the talismans sword. Protecting and warding while the talisman brings something(now where have I heard of that relationship with push and pull before?)
Within these 2 main types of totems spawns many variations that are made to do something specific. And as such you get a few verities.
Such as the seal (object made to freeze and imprison/contain whatever is locked into the seal or is covered with the seal )
Seals are basically the jailers of the charm world. Prison masks,stone mini figures. Even a small technological object. Anything can become a totem(homemade or already made doesn't matter. All that matters is the totem weaver weaving the identity together) and that means anything could be a seal. It's not a complete lockdown as you can communicate with others on the outside usually. If the seal prison is damaged or something else messes with the techniques stability, the prison is null and void and the prisoner is released.
Totem weavers/crafters have even took the purpose of the ancient average treasures and either restore the item or made a modern rendition of the process. In either case these idols are not too different from a treasure. They're similarly animal themed, and allow for communication and unification of the spirit they house. And that can include ANY kind of spirit(include quite a few of those strange spirits of light and darkness we discussed. That is the name of a Wisper or rumors vessel, it's idol.
Just as we have 2 mains types of totems we have 2 main classification of totem.
Disposable totems are totems made to be used for a small amount of time and typically only one use and automatically destroyed when used.
Permanent totems are just that, totems made to last for as long as possible. Typically forever.
Typically you'll find a lot of talismans as one use paper tags and amulets as permanent pieces of jewelry or otherwise a durable object. But that's not always the case. There are many kinds of amulets that're not only disposable totems but are also made from things that aren't paper. And similarly there are many permanent totems that are made of papers and paper like materials or even fabrics. But are talismans
....
We now finally move onto the illustrious thing I once talked about. The ability to make an item out of your pure energy. The ki item. The manifests
Manifests is term used for turning your energy into something like an item(a very special item one might call an enchantment. A blessing or a curse depending on how the item is made and perceived.) While it's at it's strongest form when ki is used to craft this blessing or curse Different energy types have also been used. And can manifest and form the item different places where the manifest normally exists.
Magic manifests are often formed into Physical tangible item.
Mental manifests form as an item in the person's mental world/mindscape
And spiritual manifests take form and root within a person's soul and on their astral body/the astral plane.
tokens are the term for manifests when it's been gifted to someone. A true sign of someone's love or care for you is their heartfelt manifest that's the manifestations of that love and care.
Manifests are extremely personalized and must be careful when you make one. It doesn't come for free. You yourself are the material. You and your energies. Choose how you manifest wisely.
Word to the wise. You can weave in or place that manifest or manifest materials into a totem and make a very powerful vessel for both your wishes for that enchantment. And a stronger guide and longer lasting potency for both that enchanting the totems powers.
This would be the last bit for items in my chi/ki power system. All the basics for it really. I hope you all enjoy it.
And now we're back for another chi power system items part. This time part 2 which I'll give the additional title energy jewels. (I will be giving names to part 3 so stay tuned for that choice) Within this little part I'll be covering the Inuyasha inspired twin jewel set.
Let's start with our rainbow pearl parallels. The chakra beads
Chakra beads are among some of the most common of support items even to modern day chi manipilation. These are breads crafted and forged from the energy of one of the 8 chakras. This energy is often then Compressed and molded by the maker into the shape of pearl-like beads colored by the chakra that helped shape it. That maker doesn't need to be someone special. It only needs to be someone who follows the flow of the energy as it compresses.
These pieces of energetic jewelry give the wearer/holder a nice little boost in power, especially when it when it comes to tapping into the chakras related to the beads they have on hand.
( a quick little lesson on the The chakras will be goven. The chakras themselves are special energy points that run along a person's body. And each chakra havs the ability to more or less focus onto chi or ki. In a way they are the bodies natural focusing and even storage system. Being directly linked to the ki points. Funneling power through them Makes it even easier for one to channel the power of chi or ki through themselves.
It was once thought that certain chakras were set in stone with their affinities to drawing in certain certain aspects of ki but that has been disproven. The chakras have no set in stone affinity. But they do have preferences for certain aspects. Certain aspects of ki(or the 3 chis) are often able to attach more easily to a certain chakra.)
Chakra beads themselves also allow you to monitor if a certain chakra is too shut right or far too open. Letting you regulate the flow of your energies or help identify what is wrong.
These beads might be able to cut it as a good focusing item for ki and chi on their own but their real best role is making you aware of your body's natural focusing channels and assisting specialized chi and ki items. The bigger the beads the easier the focus and channeling so don't be disheartened if you only have beads as your focus. It's nothing to be shameful of.
But chakra beads are far from rare. Even the larger ones are more common then this next crystal.
From the rainbow pearl to the shikon jewel we now have the chi jewel or better known as the chi magatama
...
The chi jewels or chi magatamas. Are a much rarer and much more potent jewel. They might be colored like the chakras but they are now a condensed version of different aspects of ki itself.
How exactly one is made is often unknown(it is believed to be linked to either inner war with ones self or inner peace with ones self.) What is known is that they're extremely powerful items that don't just help you focus and boost the chi they match but full on double and even triple the output of one's ability to generate that chi. But even Among these rare jewels there's even a rare type of chi jewel.
The ki magatama Is an extremely rare game changer jewel. Even more so than a chi magatamas.
These jewels also seem to be able to access reiki and yoki extremely easily
These jewels are so strong even mere slivers of them are power boosting. These jewels are extremely coveted and more often than not hard to get even one shard of one. That is the chi and ki magatama. The shikon jewel of the system.
What also makes them so coveted was their ability to generate coipius amounts of chakra beads.
...
Despite how powerful or useful these jewels are one must be careful with using beads or jewels you don't know much of the history of. As they may be tainted or made by much more malevolent energies. That could corrupt and taint your chakras and your ki or even throw it out of wack by over opening or shutting the chakras.
Normal beads of that chakra can help you confront the problem but it is much easier for those who know the ways of spirit energy to do so. As spirit energies balanced connection between the light and dark leave it the prime energy to do so(despite this balance leaving pure spirit energy base line stuck with messing with positive and negative emotions rather than the light and darkness as a whole.
To go with this the sacral chakra of emotions seems to act as an additional amplifier or dampener to certain chakras and energies simply with the emotions running through it or its beads.
...
That I'm afraid closes off part 2 of the item system.
Why did I not cover the 3rd item I said I would in the last part? Well things changed and it's going somewhere better.
