Mentala Magic

The most common form of magic in Itaedia, it doesn't need an element, and is very easy to use.

Basic principles
It is, in short, telekinesis. Pretty much anyone in Itaedia can learn it, and it takes far less time, effort, and energy than any of the elemental magics. This means that if you know elemental magic, with a bit of practice, you can use Mentala magic. It also costs far less health to use, compared to elemental spells.

Fingers
When you first pick up Mentala all you can use are fingertips, as far as gripping area, and it's not especially strong. You can pick up small things, and with a good dexterity score you can perform delciate operations fairly easily.

One Handed
After some practice, your mental projection is able to take on some substance, and you can have a mostly-visible, floating hand for your lifting. It is primarily transparent, and does not possess the sense of touch, as many young boys have been finding out at the expense of ruffled skirts for ages.

Juggler
Once you've figured out how to not just solidify, but strengthen your mental projection, the next step is creating more than one. It takes more concentration than the previous two steps, especially doing more than two hands, but allows you to juggle and begins to be capable of being used in an attack and defense context.

Shield Wall
When you've expanded to the point of being able to hold up many fairly heavy objects as a shield, your mental projection can begin to grow in size and solidity. Most people stop here, but you can solidify the projection to the point where it alone can block attacks around you.

Lantern
While rare to find someone exclusively focused on mentala instead of other elements or magics, the very limit of Mentala is creating as many objects as you wish, as solid as they have to be. With a powerful imagination, someone with this level of Mentala becomes very, very dangerous.
