Jinseong didn't possess mana, but he knew well how to handle energy.
Energy itself was a material for sorcery that could be used in sorcery, and also a cursed object that came out as a result of sorcery.
The magic power that magicians used in combination with science was a tool for sorcery to Jinseong, the qi that martial artists accumulate in their bodies was a material for sorcery scattered everywhere in nature, and mana was merely an energy suitable for using sorcery.
But unfortunately, Jinseong couldn't use these energies as efficiently as other ability users.
Because it's efficient and can be used in large quantities when accumulated in the body, but Jinseong couldn't do that.
A vessel was needed to contain energy.
But the price of sorcery was twisting such vessels.
When the vessel was twisted and broken, energy couldn't be properly contained in it.
Even if one tried to contain magic power, if the internal organs are crushed and crumbled, the magic power contained inside would also be crushed and flow out, and even if one tried to contain qi, if the area around the dantian rotted or burned up, the qi contained inside would also dissipate like a dream.
Even if one tried to contain life force under the skin, if the skin peeled off and muscles twisted, that life force would also escape, and no matter how much affinity one accumulated to control summons, if the body changed and the soul and mind were reversed, the accumulated bonds and affinity would also scatter like bubbles...
