Chapter 31: Rifts and Attunements
<pYou should focus on mana refining now," she said. "Racking your mind over attunements and higher theories will only be detrimental to your growth."But Ember obviously didn’t give up there. Every day after class, he would ambush her with questions until she finally agreed to spill some of the mystery.
The matronly woman eyed her wristwatch before sparing him a glance. “I’ll give you five minutes.”

"Instructor Raven, what exactly is attuned mana?" Ember asked without ceremony.
"As you know,” she considered it for a moment before answering, “pure mana is pretty much harmless and of little use outside of helping us refine our bodies and prolong our longevity. It has little use in direct interference. An attunement, on the other hand, allows that mana to transform towards a specific element. For example,” she raised her hand as radiant mana flowed out of her palm, slowly transforming into a ball of fire, "this would have been impossible without an attunement."
"But a fire wand can manage that without an attunement."
Instructor Raven nodded. "Those wands were specifically crafted to help those without attunements, but their efficiency is minute, which is why they cost so much mana. Unless you get yourself a staff or wand with a tier 7 enchantment or above, their effectiveness can barely hold up to a minor attunement."
That left him with much to think about. The practical use of fire-attuned or other elemental-attuned mana seemed obvious. He wondered what it would do for mind mana. It would surely give him more out of his mind-related skills like Split Focus, Keen Mind, or even Meditation Muse, no?
