Manite is a mineral found all over Unios. Elves are capable of using magic with their Aer Cortexes alone, though it's more taxing, but humans and drachkin both need to use manite as conduits. Once aer is funneled into a piece of manite, it can then be expelled as what people call “Magic Arts”.
Manite, like aer itself, comes in a number of varieties. Manite of a specific element can only use Magic Arts of that element. The rarest and more valuable, translucent pure manite, can be any sort of magic its wielder desires.
Collectively, all elements of this mineral are known as manite, but each element also has individual names.

The four tribes of the drakoni people can only use magic arts of their tribe. For example, Fyr Vyr drachkin can only use fire magic. All manite that isn’t fire or pure would be useless to them.
Manite eventually breaks and loses its ability to hold aer. The time until it breaks is determined by its size and how much it is used. Often cut into spherical shapes to be used as power sources, manite comes in four sizes. From smallest to largest, they are referred to as Spheres, Nodes, Orbs, and Globes. Globes are most expensive, but would last the longest before needing to be replaced.
