“Tuffles currently can not use energies, they can not produce enough to use. They were made that way, and they’ve adapted to their own by using technology which I believe in this known universe is the youngest form of power right beside Ki and Magic which have been energies known since the beginning of creation.” She explained with a heart warming smile.
She motioned to Mojo. “Majin are magic based creations while androids are technology based, and yet you both used Ki from when you opened your eyes because Ki is life. It’s instinct and it’s a manifestation of your will. This is why most beings use and understand it the most.”

Fascinating.
Zero stares at Mojo for a moment when he speaks, before looking back to Nen as she expands upon it.
"What are the strengths and weaknesses of each power source?"

Mojo would speak up again.
"As a brief summary, psionics is best suited for communication between fellows and movement of objects, subtly or otherwise. It is honestly the hardest type of energy to detect, even if know how to. Additionally it is a rather obsure branch of knowledge. The flipside of it is that it has very limited uses beyond that, and the learning of it is difficult without a tool for assistance or a teacher.
"Ki is, as Nen said and in the name, life energy. It is most suited to the growth of life and reinforcement of bodies. It is the most commonly used form of power for fighters across the universe. The flipside is that generally it is a very stubborn sort of power; it dislikes being converted to other forms of energy such as sonic or thermal directly. Additionally it is the most easily sensed, technologically or naturally.
"Technology is, as you and I are aware, an extremely broad branch, used by the common sapient for defense, security, construction, etc. It can be used by anyone, with or without any knowledge or training on how it works; all you need is the ability to operate said technology. The downsides is that almost all technology can be tracked by technology. Additionally any high level technology is monitored by whoever made it or by planetary governments, unless made by yourself.
"Magic is likely the most obscure; there are many who don't even acknowledge. It is perhaps the broadest branch however, as usage of it can allow the wielder to alter even the laws of physics, directly heal others, speak with the dead, and a large variety of other effects. Technology and magic are both also able to be used via items instead of directly by the wielder. The downside of magic is the obscurity; it is flat impossible to learn it without a teacher or a dedicated source of knowledge to make use of, which in and of itself are all very rare."

“That’s definitely the gist of them. In a simpler point Ki is easy and more forward, magic is moldable, someone with low power can manipulate interesting spells which can send a powerful Ki user into a tizzy with far less effort. Technology takes time and resources but it’s effectively about as malleable as magic and can still enhance someone who may not have high power energies.” She summarized. “Supposedly Psyonics are about in between the spectrums as far as ease of use and efforts to make.”

"Understood."
Zero nods slowly, having listened to both explanations.
"It appears as if all but one of the powers are inborn in each life form, whereas magic requires outside influence."

Mojo would ponder that for a few moments.
"Psionics and Ki are both in born to an individual, all individuals who are sapient anyway. Ki is the power of life, while psionics is the power of the mind. Technology is more of an external energy source; very few individuals can tap into technological based power without building a tool to do so. Androids and bio-androids are sapient tools that can do so, in that manner of speaking. As for Magic, it is generally an outside source yes. Some species have a natural inclination towards it, but even then teaching is required to make true use of it."

“It takes all kinds. The numerous mortals and all their benefits and detriments have unlocked so much potential.” She chuckled.

"Guardian Nen, you mentioned yourself and Mojo are both studying magic and psionic energy at this time, correct?"
Zero asks, considering it.
"I will focus on Ki and technology presently, then, to round out our current specializations."

Mojo would laugh softly at Zero's words, a brief bit of telekinesis being used to pour himself a cup of tea before hovering it to his hand. Taking a sip briefly and nodding approvingly at Nen, he would turn his attention back to the android.
"Do as YOU want to do; simply because Nen and I have our preferences does not mean you need to focus on what we do not. It is solely your choice. In that line, you are admittedly well-suited to the use of technology and ki, but please ensure it is what you want to do, not just to cover any perceived gaps of others."

“Mojo does have a point.” Nen shrugged. “I recall you telling me your objective when you first arrived. I don’t think you should set limits on yourself because of others for really any reason. Now if I’m the time being you are more comfortable with simply having those resources available to you then I think that’s a fine plan.”

Zero looks confused for a moment, then nods.
"I had thought my qualifiers of 'presently', and 'at this time' had insinuated that our focus of development could change in the future. Rest assured I am not denying myself opportunities to learn more of the different power sources later on, but am simply seeking to round out our abilities at the moment."
He nods.
"I do not wish to leave a potential weakness for an enemy to exploit, as I have no desire to perish."

Mojo would nod agreeably.
"That's perfectly all right, and entirely up to you. I am curious how you planned to go about these improvements? The technology route I can guess is making use of Plant's resources and knowledge."

She almost wanted to say Mojo was part android but she decided that was Mojo’s business. She drank tea and was silent this round to eye can share interests in tech.

"The Tuffles are certainly the most technologically advanced race I have come into contact with thus far. Even just interacting with them has produced unexpected growth, without having direct upgrades come from them."
Zero admits, even though the manner of which this had happened was unknown to him.
"In terms of Ki, that has mostly been experimenting through trial and error, as well as visualizing potential requirements in the future."

Mojo would nod agreeably at that.
"For technological upgrades, making use of the Tuffle's resources would be best. For developing Ki, the two most proven methods to do so are meditation and conflict, specifically sparring or flat out fighting with another of near equal or greater power than you. I personally prefer the former, however I am aware the latter is considerably faster."
