How Do I Express the Mana in Okuna?

In Okuna, there are no separate adjectives in the grammar. There's no distinction between an adjective category and a verb category. So I needed a way to form manner adverbs from them. The language already had state of verbs, so a verb meaning to be tall, for example. And then once I had this construction, at this point I didn't really know about converbs. But once I sort of had them in the grammar, I was interested in thinking about other things that I could do with them.
