Supreme Magus

Lith could heal from the bruises and catch his breath without wasting one use of Invigoration.

”I worried so much to achieve the violet core and now I wish I didn ’t get it.
I have to train my body to get used to the extra mass from scratch, to train my wings and tail, to develop a new breathing technique, and find new equipment.

”That in addition to what I was already doing, living my life, and so much more! ” Lith couldn ’t tell his mentors that he was also studying the orc crystal thanks to Vastor ’s explanation nor about Solus training her Eyes form.

Even by working the whole night whenever he could afford not to reset Invigoration, Lith kept falling behind in his schedule simply because there were only 24 hours in a day and only one of him.

”Gods, usually I ’d joke that being single at least gives me a lot of free time, but I miss Kamila more than ever.
Whenever I ’m really tired or after an utter failure, I always expect her to call me and force me out of my lab. ” He sighed.

The two Emperor Beasts knew that there wasn ’t anything they could do to make him feel better so they quickly changed the topic.

”By the way, Faluel, between your invention and Haug ’s legacy gone public, the Council is undergoing some big changes.
I ’m proud to say that I ’m pushing for a more active policy that should prevent Xedros ’s horrors from happening again. ” Feela said, pretending to not have heard Lith.

”What do you mean? ” The Hydra asked.

”Thanks to your wand, we can teach Spirit Magic to our assistants without Awakening them.
It gives us the possibility to reject an apprentice candidate without having to kill them in the case they don ’t meet our expectations.

”Now that their lives are not on the line anymore, the youths have no need for bullcrap like the Fool ’s Gold or to resort to conspiracies to keep their seat.

”As for those who get Awakened, the knowledge contained in Haug ’s legacy gives them so many things to learn that it will take them decades to master everything.
This way, the future heirs aren ’t in a rush to inherit from their masters while those who are not chosen don ’t go back home empty ended. ” Feela said.

”Wait, so you made his legacy semi-public or what? ” Faluel asked.

”Or what.
The Council deemed that even a ”shallow ” legacy like Haug ’s was too dangerous to spread it freely.
Yet it ’s available to anyone who gets themselves a master or simply gains the Council ’s recognition.

”Even rogue Awakened, like Lith was, can have it as long as they abide by the Council rules and accept to be subjected to regular inspections.
It sounds bad, I know, but using Haug ’s legacy for Forbidden Magic to make up for their lack of a master would be much worse. ” Feela replied

”Glad to be of help. ” Lith said with a sneer.
”I ’m sure that all those guys who died in Xedros ’s cave would be ecstatic to know that their sacrifice led the Council to move its ass. ”

”I ’ll let it slide because you ’re too tired to think clearly, kid. ” Feela offered him a special tonic of her making that made him instantly stop panting.

”Change is a good thing only if it happens in a slow, controlled, but constant way.
Too much and too fast leads only to anarchy.
Even what might look like a completely harmless tool is just waiting for a jackass creative enough to find a way to turn it into a weapon. ”
