User blog:FateAlbane/EVOLVERSE - E. Resistances (Aether-Rarefaction)

Given that now there's a spin-off RP for this verse, I'll be making this list of resistances as new abilities show up and are resisted/adapted to.

Summary
When referring to Energeia's capacity of adaptation and to refine itself, "Aether-Rarefaction" is a term that was coined by scholars, researchers and alchemists in verse. They use it when referring to Energeia's capacity of adaptation and to refine itself.

The term itself is a play on the word Rarefy - "to become rare" and a special application around the normal term.

Aether can be translated as "pure, fresh air". As one may likely know, air in the higher layers of earth's atmosphere is rarefied. Therefore, to say that Energeia undergoes Rarefaction is to say that it undergoes Expansion and ascends to higher layers of capacity/refinement, also becoming "less dense" (with loss of impurities and prior limitations).

This also draws a parallel with rarefaction waves, which manifest as areas of low-pressure after a shockwave: Likewise and given the chance, non-rarefied Energeia would disperse an impact (pressure/shockwave) on the being's quintessence and then become rarefied after it, ultimately negating the opposing power source.

The higher one's level of Energeia, the faster such a phenomenon can happen and after a certain height of power is reached, the further and more efficiently one's Energeia functions on its own to negate incoming dangers even before they effectively cause damage.

You can also see a bit more on this here.
