==Vital Manaism==
Vital manaism is the belief that vita and mana is one and the same. This means that any methods that would grant vita could also be drawn upon to power spells, and that any methods that could power spells could instead be used to instill life force; hence making vitalite and manacite the same. It also means that a person cannot be kept alive whilst simultaneously being depleted of mana, should this be believed. It allows spellworkers to draw upon their own life force to work spells if they absolutely have to, with potentially deadly consequences.
