Could the encysted seed be releasing some power when he became more emotionally intense?
The possibility intrigued him. He canceled the partial fusion with the wolverine and concentrated completely on increasing the mana flow in his body.
He closed his eyes and focused on internal sensations. He could feel something different, a subtle resonance that hadn't been there during his previous training.
It was as if emotional intensity was creating a stronger connection with whatever power remained available to him.
He began to experiment, alternating with his memories of Liora, Luna, and his fungus, then his feelings of guilt and anger.
Torturing himself, switching between calm and intense emotional states, monitoring how his mana control responded.
The results were inconsistent but promising. During peaks of emotional intensity, he could clearly feel an increase in his capacity to feel and manipulate mana and the elements.
