A full month had passed since Asher had merged with the Star Core Fragment. In that time, his life had been consumed entirely within the walls of the training chamber. Day after day, he immersed himself in endless practice, his mind and body wholly dedicated to refining his mastery over the three new affinities he had gained, Light, Space, and Gravity.
He did not allow himself to favor one above the others; progress in each was balanced and deliberate. Not a single affinity was abandoned for the sake of another. Every session was measured, calculated, and exhaustive.
During this past month, he had not cultivated even once. All of his time and energy were devoted solely to exploring and strengthening these new powers. Yet, despite this focus, Asher did not neglect his lightning element. On the contrary, he devoted hours to conducting numerous experiments with it as well.
