Channeling

Channeling is the art of moving mana from its original container and either converting it into a spell or inserting it into another container. If you would like to use another person as an original container, you probably will not succeed unless that person is willing to provide. There are some exceptions, as in Necromancy. Injecting mana into containers is often very cumbersome work. Since every object has mana bound in it as default, you will have to either exchange the mana, already in it or force-feed the object, thus making it very unstable. An object, breaking from containing more mana than is able to, will most often disintegrate completely or to some degree. There are some exceptions where objects have been known to physically expand very rapidly, thus tearing the object apart, sending slivers and shrapnel flying in high velocity.
