Each path contains a pair of [[Strain|strains]]. The difference between paths determines the difficulty for [[Mancer|mancers]] to use spells outside their path/strain. Each path is tied to an aspect of [[Essence]]. The paths are: - [[Natus]] - [[Mentis]] - [[Botahn]] - [[Encantus]] - [[Enspria]] - [[Elementalis]] - [[Dheumal]]
