Sutras/en

This article complies with version 0.94 of Runarcana RPG

In Runeterra, magic permeates everything, but once manifested, it often ceases to have a magical/spiritual nature and becomes more physical/energetic. Sutras are abilities similar to magic, but are channeled by a combination of physical energy and spiritual force, not by mana or runes. By default, they are not magic, do not cause magical damage, do not normally affect or are not affected by magic, and are not affected by effects that cancel magical effects, but can be canceled by physical devices.

Sutras are actually instructions that teach a technique, these techniques are performed through the combination of 4 components in 5 variations of elements. Usually Sutras are recorded in books, scrolls, objects or can be taught through training. To perform a Sutra it is necessary to know all the elements and components that it requires.

The Sutra

As the practitioner develops his Ki, he can learn techniques that consume his Ki reserve, these are the Sutra, techniques and knowledge that are transmitted both in Doctrines and in Orders. The Doctrines and Orders may have other Sutra within their body of teaching. Every Sutra requires an action to be activated, unless otherwise defined in the description of the same.
