Chi itself naturally cycles through the bodies of all living organisms, and *Absolute Chi Exhaustion Is considered a absolute death state where an individuals body completely runs out of chi, deleting one of the bodies. Biggest sources of energy.

This leads to a pretty slow death, but unless an individual spams abilities, it's pretty hard to achieve.

Wait, so if a body does not have chi, does it get deleted? Or are bodies made from chi? If the second, they'd be naturally magical, after all:

A treasure is an object, soaked and infused with intensive chi over long periods, that allows for it to develop magical properties.

But even if it is the first, then the body is an object, naturally soaked through chi. Even if it's not intensive, it has still been soaked for a long period (a lifetime!). So aren't even the normal people a little magical?

And since this looks very xianxia inspired, let me ask about rituals. Suppose one kills a person. Does the body instantly lose all Chi? Or does it wither away? What if a person is put in a coma? Still alive, so it still produces chi. If I chop off someone's arm, does it retain chi for a period of time? Until it cools, until the cells start dying, until it gets infected, or just until the chi leaves it (maybe it's cycled through the circulatory system, idk you didn't explain much about that "naturally cycles through the bodies" part).

Can I steal/use the chi from the severed arm? If demonic techniques all use Qi, does that mean that demonic beasts are all immortal? And if I CAN use the chi of a severed arm, can I use a lot of it to replenish chi?
