I am pretty close to being done with my "magic and corruption" lore post. Here's a quote appropriate for this image:

"Mana" is a synonym for magical energy. Almost everything in the world generates mana of differing afiinities.

All mana has a "flavour" or "affinity" that decides it's nature and what's it's best used for. To put it simply fire mana is best for burning things down and life is best for healing or creating life. Affinity greatly influences how corruption changes the affected creature.

Affinities can be roughly broken down into two large categories:

Elemental: fire, water, lightning, life, wind etc. mostly found in nature

Emotional: anger, joy, lust, pride etc. mostly derived from the gods and sentient beings.

You could try to use Joy mana to burn something down but it would be extremely inefficient and difficult to archive.

Uncorrupted humans and animals generate neutral mana. Strong emotions can generate small amounts of emotional mana, but not enough to corrupt.

Yes. In the world of GrimLewd you can get so horny that you generate mana.
