I also want to explain onima. In our world, if magic is real, then it's either miraculous activity performed by God, or demonic intervention. In the world of Algerinai, magic is life force. It is the energy with which things derive life from, it's what makes stuff live. Living things generate their own onima, which is that magical energy. Here, in this world, onima can be manipulated to do certain things, like alchemy, or sorcerery, or stuff like that. Every "spell" is a trade, a bargain, as you have to sacrafice some of your own onima, your own life force, to perform the ritual and get the results you need. So it's draining.
In modern times, technology has found a way to manipulate onima. Apparently, the only material that's not alive that can channel and warp onima fields is granite. So, circuits are made of granite, and funneled through granite structures to create certain effects with onima. Every machine that uses and utilizes onima must be connected to living matter, anything from bacteria to human beings to any kind of plant, animal or fungus. So, there are things, like weapons and stuff, that create fireballs from the onima drained from the human host. And such stuff. It's a lot to digest at once, but once everyone understands how things work, they can write intelligently about stuff that happens in the world of Algerinai.
