True adriana, but i made the thread as information purposes, since allot of beginners were asking what they were. Now as a beginner they cannot create one just yet but they can sure learn what it is, now the exercise can be attempted by a person around at least an intermediate level. For advanced casters this will be a review but a good chance for anyone to learn in general. Thank you for all your comments.
For the person asking about mastering shape manipulation, to you i saw you won't be perfect at it, but you can be proficient enough, first of all you should be able to create an energy ball since thats basic shape manipulation and energy projection there in its simplest form, hence i tell newbies advanced work is only a more complex version of the basics that is easily understood once you have achieved any basic level with high proficiency. Any way as i said energy balls is the basic shape manipulation and energy projection - here is key factors.
You focus your energy and move it outside your body there for your body is a projector - energy projection
your energy is guided through your nadis(chi paths , the equivalent of veins in the physical body) and sent through your subtle body (energy body)
You manipulate your energy to take on characteristics from your visualization hence shape manipulation. Cause the energy is taking literal shape of what ever you wish, in some cases a spherical shape for an energy ball.
Further more , the intermediate to advanced caster works with shape manipulation in things such as shielding,illusions, sensing,healing, etc. Its innovative precise energy control eg. Think of creating a barrier with in a barrier that has a pyramid shape. This eg may be a little extreme but its a general example of control.
Hmm.. does creating a Golem possible as well? Like you're going to imbue an egregore or any kind of servitor in general into a rubble of boulders or an inanimate doll... that will also result in a poltergeist-like effect that will allow these inanimate objects to move?
