[thinking... god, why does fire emblem not go into much detail about magic besides "it exists and you can use it if your character is in the right class"]
I believe so, yes, though I am not certain that it draws on particular types of energy. A magician would exhaust all their strength if they cast spells one after another and would eventually find themselves unable to continue doing so, but after some time to rest, would be able to do so again.
So it does sound like some manner of energy is involved...
[FOR THIS PARTICULAR CURSE I AM, I PLAYED FROM PH I KNOW THIS PAIN]
Could very well be possible! Though a key component of cultivating is a golden core, and it's said only those from cultivation families or with a history of cultivation somewhere in their bloodline has what it takes to form that.
Ah, goodness, I'm terrible at explaining this. [He tried for like 10 minutes with Natalie but maybe it'll be easier with Flayn since she comes from a world with magic...
He pats his solar plexus!]
A golden core forms right here! I've described it as something similar to an organ, since it circulates qi through your body in the same way a heart circulates your blood. It's a tangible, physical thing, but doesn't entirely follow the laws of regular physics, since it was created from qi in the first place.
Trust me, I would have loved to give you one! After all of this time with only a brief break where we could get in touch with our abilities again, I'm afraid my core is going to rust and fall right out!
Oh, no. [SIMPLY. Sorry for the tiny concern there Flayn.] Though it could certainly get weaker from lack of use! Wouldn't want that, mine's already pitiful.
Oh, good... well, I hope that you are able to use your qi again and strengthen it! It sounds as though it is like any muscle that also needs to be regularly exercised. It is a little unfair that it could get weaker simply because we were kidnapped...
Isn't it such an unfair thing? Really! I didn't even have the time to start working it back up to proper strength before being snatched away to that boat, and now this... I could be going near half a year without any sort of training at all, at this rate!
[Since he has no faith they aren't going to be stuck here for WEEKS AND WEEKS.]

Ah... I can imagine.

Cleansing is important, and so are grounding techniques, but as long as you take care it can be used the same as any other energy.

[He IS resourceful, thanks for the unintentional compliment Flayn!]
Do spells run on energy in your world too?

Mm! It sounds a lot like the use of qi, where I come from. An internal source of energy that you can use to do more traditional cultivation.
no subject
...I wonder! Does that mean that someone who could use magic from my world would be able to become a cultivator in yours?
no subject

A... golden core? [Flayn puts a hand over her heart, looking thoughtful.] What is that?

stares at his face]
...so do you have one of those, then? Since you are a cultivator?
no subject
[Pokes himself right in the fuckin gut which does absolutely nothing to highlight his point.]
Right here, though the circulation of qi doesn't mean much in a place where cultivation techniques don't work.

[TRAGIC especially considering it ain't his.]

Is that likely to happen to you...?

Do you think we shall be here for that long?
no subject
—Well, not a half-year here, at least! But if this takes as long as my time on the boat did, that's a good two months each, give or take.

[He gives Flayn a sympathetic look.]
Much as I hate to say it, I think your bunch was the outlier, there.

[she sighs heavily]
I do hope that this will be more like ours, but... what are the chances?
no subject
[Just, like. Not likely.]
