Chapter 1620 - Life And Death (Part 2)

Lith used the Spirit Eye to sever Mogar's energy signature from the world energy and replaced it with his own. The crystal was now filled with mana that offered no resistance to him. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Then, Lith used his yellow eye to isolate and amplify the air element, turning the crystal into a muddy ochre. He had no natural affinity toward air and if not for the Spirit eye, his level of mastery would have been too low to succeed.

Yet by combining his skill with Spirit Magic, Crystalsmithing, and Dominance he had carved a path toward success that very few could use.

"Good gods!" Tista said in amazement, seeing how Lith refined the crystal much more smoothly and quickly than Solus. "I have no idea what he is doing with his eyes, but can I do the same thing?"

"Sure. Once you have seven eyes and a violet core." Lith snarled in frustration.

Even with a core much stronger than Solus's and Spirit Dominance, creating an altered crystal was still a mammoth task. He now understood why Solus had reacted so harshly back when he had disturbed her focus.

"Can you do that?" Tista asked Friya who shook her head in reply.

"It's called cheating. Deal with it and shut up!" Lith said.

One final burst of Dominance and willpower turned the ochre into a radiant yellow air crystal that he added to the staff as well.

The moment the mana circulatory system accepted the third energy flow without any hitch, Lith fell to the ground panting and covered in sweat.

"You can talk now." Solus said. "Sorry if we forbid you to use mind links, but even the presence of the feeblest of spells can screw a Forgemastering process."

"Can you teach me how to do the thing with the eyes?" Tista said while making her irises change from red to silver at will. She had understood that her eyes and elemental affinities were somehow linked, but she had no idea of its significance.

"Maybe." Solus said while Lith gulped down a tonic. "Right now, he is forbidden to, but if you manage to open a third eye Faluel might give her permission."

"That's not fair! It will be years before…" While Tista rambled, the other three discussed the procedure via a mind link.

'This sure explains why Menadion had such troubles mastering the white crystals.' Friya said. 'Unless someone taught her Dominance, having a natural affinity to all elements could only bring her that far.'

'Dominance isn't really necessary to get the job done.' Solus said since Lith's thoughts amounted to a bunch of swear words. 'It's like a crutch that helps the mage.'

'A crutch my sweet ass! It's more like a road map.' Friya replied. 'I've gotten natural affinity to all elements, a blue core, and I practiced with the crystals as much as you did yet I'm still stuck at singling out the elemental flows.

'Why didn't you share this method with me? It would have given me the opportunity to practice Domination as well, killing two birds with one stone.'
