Thanks ! That's what I thought as explained later on, but somehow I reversed the words ^ ^; It's true in most settings they have opposite functions, with Ki being an extension of one's lifeforce and mana a magical resources present in nature as a whole (that's notably how the famous Magic: The Gathering operates, with mana being drawn from land cards).

Magical energy is essentially processed Ki or Mana, correct ? what are Magic Clime caves ? I thought Mana only came from within living beings, and it was Ki that could be drawn from the environment ?

Still, large-scale spells do rely on environmental Ki, right ? So Espers are pure psionics, and their powers thus operate independently from Ki ? It must be a decisive edge in Ki-poor environments, perfect setting to ambush powerful magic-users.

Magic Apps seem a great way to regulate the general use of magic, and thus the global consumption of Ki. Nice management answer to a delicate problem B) They do use Ki themselves though, don't they ? Otherwise, where does the magic energy involved comes from ?

So responsible use of magic is the rule in the Destiny City and/or the Imoutoverse as a whole ? Now, that is both unexpected and a refreshing change from real life ^ ^
