Hands-down the most useful tip for anyone trying to figure out how divisions of astral, etheric, spiritual, etc. work (especially in relation to the mechanics of magic, the paranormal, the supernatural, etc.) is acknowledging that they all have phases and states of "matter" affected by levels of energy like the physical does, and that those phases and states will affect their own "matter type" differently than they will affect others depending on those energy levels.

#we're still trying to do a big long breakdown of this but so far the hardest part has been figuring out those interactions #the mad mage muses #theoreticals and interpretations #magical theory #now realizing we'll also have to get more firm definitions of things like plane realm etc.#this is also why discussions of vital energy are confusing and also a pain #in our system we do utilize the notion of overlap or transitional states between groups #so like there's a mid phase between physical and astral a mid phase between physical and etheric and even mid phases between more than 2 #and our current working theory is your vital energy will likely be a unique mix #most normal mundane humans seem to have physical-dominant etheric mix vital energy #on occasion astral or spiritual if they're visionary-types or religious and they're serious about it #but that's why you'll get a lot of psyvamps who don't care for that taste #athletic-types are either the best or the worst of normal humans btw because they either accidentally pull more etheric in (best)#or drive it all into the physical (worst)#actual nonhumans and legit magical practitioners seem pretty unique and variable since they pull from several places actively/natively #we couldn't even begin to tell you what the fuck ours is since it's mostly library data #which has its own periodic table/hexadecimal base coding type deal. it's insane and can arrange itself to mimic damn near anything
