The Way stirred around him, affected by an artifact of such incredible significance. If he held the hand exposed long enough, it might manifest an Icon. (Bloodline ch 13) </blockquote>

 According to notes found in the [[Labyrinth]], hunger madra is found in dreadbeast bindings. In Skysworn chapter 7,  [[Fisher Gesha]] explains hunger madra to [[Lindon]] when they discuss his prosthetic arm:<blockquote>He nodded to his pack sitting in the corner of the room. “What if we added a binding of our own? To the Shifting Skies arm, I mean.” That one was clearly the best selection, if only it came with a technique.

 Hunger madra is powerful. It is in the white binding of [[Lindon]]’s prosthetic arm. It is the driving impetus of every [[Dreadgod]]. It is the force powering the [[Archstone]]. There is an important relationship between hunger aura, hunger madra, Dreadgods, and the overweening ambitions of Monarchs.  See also [[Sacred Arts]].
-Hunger madra is strong magic, an endless powerful craving. [[Wei Shi Lindon]]’s prosthetic arm gives him a good sense of the nature of hunger madra.<blockquote>“He studied the arm. What he called hunger wasn't just that. It felt similar to hunger, but it was more textured, with deeper layers. He felt ambition, greed, gluttony, an endless desire to reach for more and more.” (Skysworn, ch 12)</blockquote>

 ==Madra==
-Madra is a magical big deal in the Cradle series. Madra is the magical energy produced and residing in one's core. Life, blood, and dream aura generated by one's body are initially converted into pure madra, but as particular vital aura from the environment is gathered and integrated into the core, it takes on the aspects of that particular aura, and the corresponding madra is produced instead. Once cultivated, madra can be used to fuel and empower a multitude of techniques as well as one's own body. As a sacred artist advances, his/her madra becomes more potent and more dense, allowing them to do more with less.
+Madra is a magical big deal in the Cradle series. Madra is the spiritual energy produced from vital aura in the environment and cycled into one's core and madra channels. Madra is necessary to follow a [[Paths|Path]] and employ [[Techniques|techniques]]. Babies are born with pure madra. Gradually, a child’s core takes in the vital aura most abundant in their environment and they cycle its aspect — almost certainly not pure madra. When they die, sacred artists leave behind a [[Remnant]] made of madra.
-The core resides in the center of one's spirit, placed just below the navel, and madra channels loop throughout the body, to and from the core.  Replenishing and expanding the madra pool in the core is accomplished  either through cycling, or drawing in vital aura of the same aspect, or through the use of elixirs and pills.

-About 2500 years ago, roughly, [[Subject One]] was a researcher and soulsmith. He may have lived in [[Sacred Valley]] but that’s speculation. Anyway, it’s said that he invented [[hunger madra]], cycled from hunger aura, while experimenting with [[Dreadbeasts]] and hunger aura.  <b>“They say he virtually brought hunger madra to life.”</b>(Reaper, ch 1). Research notes Lindon found in the Ruins support this interpretation:
