Theory: Mana Amnesia and the Body
The body of a mage is made up of magical circuits, of which grow ever plentiful as the mage grows in power. Each and every spell requires the use of a different combination and build of mana circuits to use, so that the body may grow "used" to casting said spells. However, mana circuits cannot build infinitely and harden over time, restricting in the choices a mage has on spells it may use during a high stress environment such as combat. In short, the normal body has limits on how many spells it can effectively cast.
Mana amnesia uses the properties of soothing reeds and the weakening properties of Kyi'ah, softening the mana circuits, allowing the user to reorient spells whose use may be stressed.
Solution:[Theory: Mana Amnesia and the Body]
Mana circuits can store memories of 'casts' to make spells work.
Theory: Adrenaline Mk.2
An enhanced version of Adrenaline, improving focus in terms of casting speed and visualization at the expense of mana substance and resulting density of spells. Perhaps through some measured and combined use of halucinogenic herbs for visualization, magical redirection capabilities of blackout potions, and elemental enhancements of attunement potions... more research required.
Ol[Redacted] - Soothing reed to ease the circuits, Glowshrooms to speed up energy and mana flow, some lightning crystals to channel mana efficiently, Cobalthine for improved mana concentration ability and maybe some fae powder to bolster the effects... Given those, it would probably work, but the quantity of each is what we'd have to work out...
Theory: Gigantification Potion
The blood of a true giant... due to lack of material, further research is rendered moot.
Theory: Tree Armor Potion
- A[Redacted]
Replication of the use of nature as displayed by tree demons, to create a cursed ground. An occultic sprout would grow upon it's user, attach itself through their magical circuits, and controlled as an extended body.
Note: Explore possibilities without use of occultic magic. The dryad commonly seen at Dal'thala is an interesting subject of curiosity.

Element Crystals seem to be crystals formed by condensed mana of one of five mana types, which I will reference further as "The Core Elements". Surveying monsters like the Domice, Swuiswarme, Grodon, Lupin and Magpawn, it is apparent that the Core Elements CAN be condensed into such crystals naturally. Given a natural occurence, it is very possible for an artificial process to condense said mana into a crystal akin to a crystalized form, perhaps leading into a more powerful crystal harnessing more mana than a standard elemental crystal.
Lightning Crystals are condensed lightning mana. Surveying Magpawns and how the electricity emanating from their crystals creates the very being they inhabit, as well as attract metals to form its body. Lightning could merely be a channel of condensed mana that repels or attracts mana and objects with such force that it can shake the very being of what it comes into contact with with such force that it can cause the target to damage itself by vibrating due to the sheer force contained within the channel. If so, Lightning is not a tangible concept, but rather a series of external "mana circuits" sent out from the user to channel mana within themselves and the world around them to concentrate a stream of mana to their target.
Fire Crystals are condensed fire mana. Surveying Domice and how they utilize fire from the crystals in their small mechanic drones, it is clear they feed mana to the crystal as fuel to use spells, ranging from the amount of mana and in what formation in the crystal the mana is fed through it. Fire seems to be, at its core, a transfer of mana into a singularity of mana expulsion, releasing mana from the sort of enclosed state it is always in and allowing mana to spread outward and fade as the raw energy transfer from the mana erupts into the world without containment. If so, Fire is a tangible concept, if only by means that the release of raw mana creates such force that channels the power of mana into waves of fierce destruction on a limited and controlled scale.
To further refine my thoughts, Fire is an element that uses the destruction of something to create itself, the burning of air or fuel allows fire to become larger or more powerful, with the purer the source, the more devastating the result. Hotter fires burn blue while the "standard" definition of fire is red; while plasma, which I have seen used before, is purple, which may lend to the idea that plasma is the hottest kind of "fire" to exist. Plasma seems to be the channelling of the explosive result of Fire magic into pathways that direct the force into specific paths, akin to Lightning magic. Giving credence to this thought, it might be possible that Plasma magic is a culmination of Fire and Lightning magic, which brings into being an experiment to explore Plasma magic and what it can do.
In short, Fire and Lightning magic are both intangible means to channel mana into performing certain actions or having certain results. Fire channels mana and releases its energy; while Lightning compacts manaflow and channels mana directly between compacted source and target.
