These three techniques were so simple that it had only taken Theron a few attempts to raise them to Adept while in the middle of battle. By the time he got back to his Immortal Cave, he had already risen them to Adept mastery.
However, he seemed to be much further away from Consummate than he expected.
Usually by now, if he was controlling a Water Mana technique, he would have had some sort of epiphany that would make the next step obvious to him.
Reaching Adept was enough to say that he had fully mastered the technique. But the problem with Consummate was that it expected him to take the technique further than the original user intended, to comprehend something that made the Spell or technique his own rather than just a shell of what the creator expected of it.
That was where the problem lay.
