# ⬡ VeilCraft

**Channel the Ether. Choose your path. Master your techniques.**

VeilCraft introduces a deep spiritual combat system to Minecraft. An invisible force known as the **Ether** flows between the living world and the spirit plane — and only those who awaken to it can harness its power.

## ⚡ The Ether System

Every sorcerer has an **Ether bar** displayed on their HUD. This energy regenerates over time and is consumed when using techniques. As you grow stronger, your maximum Ether increases.

### Grades
| Grade | Max Ether |
|-------|-----------|
| Apprentice | 100 |
| Sorcerer | 200 |
| Master | 350 |
| Arcane | 500 |
