There are eight Elemental Spirits throughout the series: Undine, Gnome, Sylphid (or Jinn), Salamando (or Salamander), Lumina (or Wisp), Shade, Luna (or Aura), and Dryad. Only four Elementals have made it through the series so far without any large modification to their names or the types of their powers. All Elementals debuted in Secret of Mana; the most significant change, Luna to Aura, occurred in Legend of Mana. One could argue that the Faerie that befriends the main character and follows them throughout Seiken Den ...

Elemental spirits Seiken Densetsu - Mana Mythology. In the Seiken Densetsu mythos, particularly according to the in-game World History Encyclopædia in Legend of Mana, the Elementals are descended from the Mana Goddess, the embodiment of the creative and destructive forces of Mana, each being born from the light which formed the respective elements of Fa'Diel, the world of Mana. According to Seiken Densetsu 3, in her creation of the world, the Mana Goddess forged the Mana Sword and with it sealed th ...

The accepted explanation amongst scientists is that the images produced are those typically caused by a high voltage corona effect, similar to those seen from other high voltage sources such as the Van de Graaff generator or Tesla coil. In a darkened room, this is visible as a faint glow; but because of the high voltages, the film is affected in a slightly different way than usual. Color photographic film is calibrated to faithfully produce colors when exposed to normal light. The corona discharge has a somewhat different effect on the different layers of dye used to accomplish this result, resulting in various color ...

The Church - The early days and first album 1980-1981. From the early 1970s, Steve Kilbey and Peter Koppes had played in several glam rock bands in Sydney, Australia. In April 1980 they formed a three-piece with Nick Ward on drums and began performing. After Marty Willson-Piper (hailing from Liverpool) joined them, they took the name 'The Church'. Allegedly, the name was chosen largely because it was unclaimed, but later allusions to the band's spiritual interests by Kilbey hint at it being less than coincidental ...

The Church's musical style has changed remarkably during the years. Early songs were mostly simply structured. "She Never Said," the first single, featured a New-Wave-like staccato rhythm and Kilbey’s laconic Bowie-inspired "half-recitative" vocals. Short, guitar-based songs dominate the debut, Of Skins And Heart. Similar means are to be found in early XTC, Television, The Beatles or Echo & The Bunnymen. Unusual in their time were experiments with long songs in different sections ("Is This Where You Live," 1981). The prominent u ...

The biggest part of the lyrics is written by Steve Kilbey, he being the sole songwriter on all albums up to Remote Luxury. Until then, Kilbey brought basically completed/demoed songs to the sessions while the arrangement was a group effort, mostly done by Peter Koppes. This changed since with Heyday in 1985. Now, the songs are results of expanded jam sessions. The music is written before Kilbey makes the lyrics up. Kilbey's lyrics and poems are often described as surreal. Kilbey flatly rejects any fixed meaning of his poetry, c ...

Synaesthesia is an often-used poetic device. In a familiar example, Andrew Marvell characterized the fruitful and serene atmosphere of the garden as Annihilating all that's made To a green thought in a green shade ( —"The Garden") Likewise, Nick Carraway, the narrator of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, recounts "yellow cocktail music" playing at one of Gatsby's parties. Synaesthesia as a drug effect played a role in the popular song "Lake Shore Drive" by Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah: Sometimes you can smell the green When your mind is feeling fin ...

Synaesthesia is a real phenomenon: indeed, some people see colors when they hear or read letters and numbers (the most common form). Others taste and feel sounds, colors, and so forth. A genuine type of Synaesthesia shows the following qualities: it works like a dictionary: one stimulus always evokes a certain perception the perception occurs involuntarily the perceptions are individual: every Synaesthete has their "own" colors and shapes the perceptions are irreversible: a 7 might evoke the col ...

In the sense of "promulgator of extreme revolutionary opinion", the word "Jacobin" passed beyond the borders of France and long survived the Revolution. Jacobin - United Kingdom. Canning's paper, The Anti-Jacobin, directed against the English Radicals, of the 18th-19th Century, consecrated its use in England. The English who supported the French Revolution during its early stages (or even throughout), were early known as Jacobins. These included the young Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Willi ...

Aura: An energy field which surrounds living beings. An aura is most often visible only to those born with the skill to see it, or those who developed this ability. A visible aura contains various colors and tells about the spiritual and emotional persona of the plant, human, or creature surrounded by it. An aura can also be felt, heard, or sensed through other means.

Aura:

Term used to describe the subtle energy field surrounding all living things, including plants, animals, and human beings. Said to appear in a rainbow of colors which conform to the outline of the being.

Predominant colors or the brightness of the energy field may be interpreted as indicative of the subject's psychological condition, relative health, or spiritual advancement. Sometimes thought to be proof of the existence of an "astral body". "Kirlian photography" reportedly is able to visually document auras.

Aura - Subtle light surrounding a person or object.

(See also: Aura, Pagan, Wicca Pagan Dictionary)

aura: The luminous colorful field of subtle energy radiating within and around the human body, extending out from three to seven feet. The colors of the aura change constantly according to the ebb and flow of one's state of consciousness, thoughts, moods and emotions. Higher, benevolent feelings create bright pastels; base, negative feelings are darker in color. Thus, auras can be seen and "read" by clairvoyants.

The general nature of auras varies according to individual unfoldment. Great mystics have very bright auras, while instinctive persons are shrouded in dull shades. The aura consists of two aspects, the outer aura and the inner aura. The outer aura extends beyond the physical body and changes continuously, reflecting the individual's moment-to-moment panorama of thought and emotion. The inner aura is much more constant, as it reflects deep-seated subconscious patterns, desires, repressions and tendencies held in the sub-subconscious mind. Those colors which are regularly and habitually reflected in the outer aura are eventually recorded more permanently in the inner aura. The colors of the inner aura permeate out through the outer aura and either shade with sadness or brighten with happiness the normal experiences of daily life.

The inner aura hovers deep within the astral body in the chest and torso and looks much like certain "modern-art" paintings, with heavy strokes of solid colors here and there. In Sanskrit, the aura is called prabhamandala, "luminous circle," or diptachakra, "wheel of light."
