-x- An example of a place where a Chi stream would cross into a Chi Spring -x-

  

Once a time ago was one given just a slight nudge into the path of Chi and from it was birthed the art in its entirety. Although unknown to the first amongst his kind was that where he found this hidden art was also  the location of a Chi Spring or rather a location in which multiple paths of energy collided and gathered into a large swirling pool of Chi. For a long time did this energy go unknown to the monks as they lacked a true ability to sense such great energy; however overtime new techniques and abilities were created and thus did the sensation of these areas begin. Since the birth of life unto this plane has living chi existed  and it was through the constant release of this nature that living chi came to gather in places much like nature did. Together they supported each other and overtime it caused abnormal groves of nature to grow.

    Flora and Fauna naturally released their energies and with it did those energies nurture life and nature; the process itself was a delicate cycle capable of collapse even from minor events which perhaps seemed little and insignificant. Only did it falter from minor issues when that single thing was a pivotal point of the spring and by ridding the spring of it did the spring falter. When a spring falters nature goes unchecked as natural chi energies try to compensate for the loss; however in doing so they end up causing more harm than good and the grand expanse causes nature to kill itself due to overpopulation of life. It is for this reason that finding an exceptionally powerful chi spring is a rare occurrence but finding a less concentrated one is commonplace. Regardless of size, these places tend to hold a tremendous amount of power and with such comes strange happenings to nature and the previously mundane world.

    Although nature exists most everywhere, that is not to say that a chi spring shall amass in all places in the world. To some degree, however, there are some ways that natural energies tend to conglomerate into somewhat of a mass and these are known as Chi Streams. A stream simply appears as an often curving line throughout the space right above and around patches of nature. Naturally any place that creates an expansive amount of natural energies will draw in the delicate threads of these streams which in turn makes them twist, turn, and contort until they meet with another stream and form a spring at a dense place of natural life.

 

Within the great expanses of a Chi spring things often occur that might not in typical nature. Due to the mass amount of energies that gather in these areas they often affect the fauna by making them larger, stronger, faster, and all around greater than a normal animal would be. These animals still stay true to their own paths and generally only deviate when an abnormal factor is put into them. Alongside the enlarged animals, these springs also offer a greater benefit to any who can manipulate chi and natural energies by allowing them a longer time to withdraw energy, but only during times of peace and training. The last curious effect is that anyone trained to sense these natural energies and springs will often be drawn to these areas and may follow the Chi Streams that lead to them. Effectively this means that anyone bound to Chi can easily follow these paths to dense areas of life.

Lastly is the worldly size, which may only occur in cases of very wealthy and large springs, is no larger than a small estate (approx. 40x40, bedrock to sky). Most chi springs are small and secluded pieces of nature that cannot be feasibly captured in any one area by walls, buildings, or otherwise unnatural dwellings. This means that one may not block nor safeguard a spring with physical barriers or blockades. If they were to try they would find that the spring weakens and soon collapses leaving nothing but a normal and mundane patch of nature.

TLDR
Natural energies constantly leak off anything that contains living chi, this energy amasses into chi streams and floats throughout the air without notice. Only Chi users may sense this natural energy as they are all inherently connected to it. For monks they can use Chi sense to find these dense lines which eventually lead to a chi spring.  A chi spring is anywhere with extremely dense nature of any kind, lots of fauna, and generally very secluded. The more secluded any place of nature is the stronger the spring will grow but in turn the spring will become exceptionally delicate as it gets stronger and stronger. For the previously mentioned monks they will find that their abilities, as long as it is peaceful and not with aggression towards another, is much more capable and may exist for longer. For monks this allows them to train with 2 more chi slots. While this allows them to have greater access to their ability, overuse of this can lead to collapse of the spring and therefore anyone who uses the max shall be warned by nature itself and should they continue they will bring downfall to the area. 

 

Spoiler

This is also a way for ET to make larger creatures for whatever event they decide, build crazy nature builds, and all around gain more creative freedoms. Note though that animals will not act ‘crazier’ towards anyone and simply will just be larger and larger the stronger the stream is. 

 

Lastly, an ST must approve any site deemed to be a chi spring. This will require a region being set up and a greeting flag that details the effects on flora, fauna, and if any ET desires to hold events within its grounds they should also put their contact info on there. A chi spring location must be found by monks IRP and once found they should, if the area is appropriate, make a req asking for it to be officiated by the previously mentioned methods.
