A week had quickly passed, and nothing special happened. Albedo had been cooped up in his villa's training room all week, just practicing.
Every day this past week, he had immersed himself in the Book of Aevarion, learning not only its destructive applications, but the meaning behind its design.
He now understood that most techniques weren't attacks, but reflections of deeper principles, each one a crystallized piece of Aevarion's legacy.
And from those principles, Albedo had forged new power. Today, he was finishing a test, his final mastery of one such concept.
He snapped his fingers.
Mana surged into his spine, triggering a rush of heat that flooded his limbs, and flames exploded out behind him, condensing into a ten-meter-wide wheel of slashing crescents.
