The first of those opportunities was before him now, an opportunity that would redefine his path moving forward as his name would become known to the entirety of creation, one way or another he was about to walk towards the highest of stages.
Andar would be displaying his mastery of every discipline of the Magus World right in front of millions of audiences all Mages of renown and also in front of Archmages from all the Towers.
He was barely three decades old and already possessed the mastery of subjects that would take endless lifetimes for a single mage to gain mastery in just one of them because knowledge like this was not attained by how much time you spent studying for it, but purely depended on your talents and something much deeper, the soul.
Not everyone's soul would be capable of holding the mysteries of creation, which was ultimately the path that Magus's discipline led to. Complete mastery of any one of them would reveal the truth of creation.
To become a Master in one discipline would place you at the Mithril Rank, and if you were lucky, after countless years and back-breaking experiments that would most likely lead to failure you might claw your way towards becoming a Grandmaster.
A feat that even Archmages found hard to replicate because according to the hidden knowledge that even Andar did not have access to, becoming a Grandmaster in any discipline would mean you would be able to barely touch a higher dimension.
It would make it infinitely easier for a Grandmaster to reach that dimension and become a Tower Master. Not all Grandmasters of their Discipline could become Tower Masters, but it raised the chance.
His masters believed that with Andar's talents, it was inevitable for him to become a Grandmaster in at least one of these disciplines, and if he could become a Grandmaster of all of them, a feat that seemed more likely to happen with every accomplishment that Andar continually made, then the chance for him to become a Tower Master would increase more than six folds.
These were the reasons why all masters from all over the universe and beyond had found their way to this place to watch the beginning of a legend.
This was to prove his ability, for him to be able to master all these disciplines in such a short time. After all, the last Tower Master was born many Eras ago, and from the beginning of the Magus civilization, there had only ever been six Tower Masters.
Andar took one last look at himself in the mirror and made a small gesture with his left index finger. His body glowed as it repelled all the moisture left on his skin and clothes settled over his body, from shoes, pants, jackets, and flamboyant cape.
He hated the cape, but it was a necessary part of his attire as a prospective Mithril Rank master.
If he failed this test, he would be stripped of the cape and if he succeeded, he would become the first Mage to have all seven of these disciplines branded on his cape.
When Andar became a Mage, his Spirit Body had evolved once more, giving him greater control over his Aether and massively increasing the amount of Aether he could store and generate at the same time.
It was difficult for even him to understand the limits of his abilities, and this change had reflected itself in his companion beast, the Cloud Whale, who was currently at Rank 4 and rapidly heading to Rank 5.
The reason he could enjoy such pleasant showers without any barrier of Aether blocking the water from reaching him was that he could shut off his body's natural response to the outside stimulus, which naturally happened by thickening the Aether around his body that would then produce a sort of force field around his body.
