All living beings contain within them some measure of this primal soul energy. By using this ability, the Shaman is able to withdraw that power from a fallen being. This raw spiritual energy is stored in the Shaman's soul fetish, which he carries with him at all times. The type of prima materia channeled from a corpse depends directly on that being's basic spiritual aura. Each being has a unique aura, and the nature of the prima materia of that aura is unknowable until it is actually extracted. Undead are known to lack raw spiritual energy, and thus, if they ever leave a corpse, cannot be channeled. Channeled prima materia is stored in the Shaman's materia fetish. Materia is placed into categories based on rarity, with the more common materias being less powerful and the rarer materias being more powerful. The level of the corpse will determine which category of materia will be found. Obviously, higher levels will generally have a better chance of containing rarer materia. Please see "help materia" for further information. The "fuse" option allows the Shaman to combine materia of a given rarity (materia already previously channeled into his fetish) into one random materia of the next rarity. Materia is fused in multiples of 10. Hence, "sing channel fuse 3 azletu" would fuse 30 azletu materia into 3 of any of these: dhucra, langir, or vachopo materia (see "help materia" for more information on prima materia rarity). This is the only way in which a Shaman may acquire omatim materia (by fusing either hargalla or efantig materia). Shamans be warned! The raw mystic power that the channel skill withdraws is wild energy. It is not magic; but rather a force with a will of its own. Therefore, sometimes, this stolen spiritual energy will resist being used later on. All Shaman skills and songs use this raw spiritual power (along with normal spell points). Beware! It is required of the Shaman to experiment with different combinations of skills/songs coupled with various raw spiritual energies. This is the only way he can truly mature to become a wise mediator between the land of the living and the infinite mystery that is the spirit-realm. A Shaman may view the current stored energies of his fetish by using the "materia" command. NOTE: This song cannot be used in wars.
