[Wei Wuxian sighs dramatically. (It's worth the momentary swirling of his vision.) He isn't offended by anyone fearing the name or what he does—he had plenty of practice of that at home—it's just it takes so much work here to explain to people what it even is.
And if Rand calls it magic he's going to do laps until he passes out and dies.]
Alright, are you ready for a crash course on cultivation? [He turns his head to grin at Rand.]
Everyone here has qi—life energy. You have it, I have it. Everyone. Different worlds and cultures may call it something else, but where I am from, it's qi. Every living thing contains qi, plants and animals too. Understand?
Cultivators are people who through rigorous physical training, and extensive meditation transform that qi into ling qi—spiritual energy. Spiritual energy allows them to enhance their senses and abilities, and to draw on the spiritual energies in the world.
Still following? [It's a good distraction, he hopes for both of them.]
