Sapient Beings

"Sapient Beings" is how the System refers to living things which are self-aware. It is also the polite usage for System-powered individuals to refer to beings without specifying their species. Sapient beings absorb Mana and can use it for Class Skills, Spells, and Special Skills. Non-Sapient beings (which the System includes in the phrase "living things" and which most System-powered individuals call "monsters,") cannot control the Mana they absorb directly and therefore often become larger, more powerful, or even mutate completely.
