The Magic system shows some of the Rolemaster roots, with Spell Points (called Zeon here) expenditures used to cast spells bought as a 'list' with a common theme.Very flexible although slightly cumbersome, it gets expanded and streamlined in one of the Sourcebooks.

Ki Manipulation are of the flashy, super-powered variety and come with a do-it-yourself rules that let players create their own techniques from scratch.Supernatural powers all have their particular mechanics: Levels add some inherent bonuses to skills and characteristics coming from the class, but mostly they give you extra D.P.s to spend. The system is level-based, with a possible 'Apprentice level 0' and a (soft) level cap of 20. In fact, being a psychic or spellcaster is NOT a part of the class choice, but one of these advantages. Special advantages and training are bought with Background points. Skill ranks, secondary attributes (like Hit Points) and special combat tricks like Martial Arts or fighting techniques are bought with Development Points, D.P.s for short. The game uses mostly D100 rolls for checks, except for the odd D10 roll where Character attributes are involved. Character classes are pretty much just skill cost templates, and much customization can be done (although maybe not smart) still, nothing prevents your vanilla Warrior guy (known as Weapon Master) from getting a few Psychic powers, if you feel like it. Character attributes may be rolled (on a D10) or bought with a point allotment.

The game mechanics are heaviliy influenced by the old Rolemaster system by ICE, including the bulk of character classes being mostly a mix of basic ones (as in, Warrior meets Mentalist), or specialized versions of the same role (like Thief/Spy/Assassin).
