If another were to take a solid state of osietic energy and bring it out of the waters of Sergrela, it would essentially lose all power and vitality. This makes osietic energy especially coveted and a peculiar energy source privy only to the serpies—something the cyeriths have yet to recreate, much to their dismay.
The way humans use osietic energy is distinct to all other uses of the substance—if a human were to be injected osietic energy, they would be able to breathe in Sergrela's waters. The issue with Sergrela's waters is that it contains properties that make it harsh for humans to withstand. The pressures in the deep sea are oftentimes crushing to humans, and being able to survive and swim in these waters as a human requires a sufficient amount of osietic energy.
Of course, the difference between humans and serpies is that humans are unable to get corrupted by osietic energy. A human's body converts osietic energy to a form of oxygen that can be used underwater, and this allows humans to enter Sergrela's waters; however, obtaining this energy is the hard part, and oftentimes, it's nearly impossible to get your hands on osietic energy if you aren't a serpie.
SERPIE ANATOMY.

Serpies' anatomy is differently in only some aspects to humans. They do bear arms and legs and generally look like humans — it's just the inside that changes for some aspects, and few details on the outside. Some people who don't visit Sergrela assume that serpies resemble merfolk anatomy, but it's a little more different than that.
Serpies bear a tail that uses the tailbone humans no longer have in use— said tail tends to be a long tendril with fin-like structures attached to the limb that resembles the merfolk tail most are used to. The more memoria the serpies absorb, the more color and vibrancy the fin-like appendages will have.
These tails have some specific functions, one of them being increasing mobility underwater. The end point of the tail has increased sensorial capabilities with its nerve endings, and often detects nearby movements via vibrations in the water, which can help analyze how close something is to the serpie and the general size of the creature near them while they swim through waters. When in land, these tails tend to get too many vibrations, and as such, the tails tend to stop serving their sensorial functions while out of water to not overwhelm the host.
Another function of the tail is to serve as an additional limb to wrap around objects. Tails tend to measure around 3'4 to 4 feet, or around 129.54 centimeters, although some may be longer or shorter— usually the tail's length will adjust to the serpie's height, and will grow or stop growing accordingly to said height to ensure it's not oversized or too small, although there have been some exceptions, in which the tail does not grow proportionately to the serpie's size. Thankfully, that doesn't tend to happen very often, and there have been found ways to remedy that issue if treated correctly.
