"This… a Halo Manual?"
"No, it's a skill that is both a Halo Manual and a skill."
Emrys mused in disbelief, looking at the panel.
In this world, Halos worked by defining roles.
When you awakened your halo, you didn't just gain power—you gained a source of power.
An example Emrys had seen was someone awakening a Fire Halo.
Through it, the Fire Awakener could absorb the Fire Element in the air using their Halo Marks, thereby drawing fire into themselves.
But to truly employ that fire, one needed another set of manuals called Battle Manuals, related to their elements.

Looking deeper at the skill, he found it a bit hard to comprehend.

"Tsk, I can't climb back up!"
The pit was too deep, and there was no hold to climb at all.
[Cultivate And Reach The Second Level of Your Manual, and You Will Gain Enough Power.]
The panel flashed.
"Cultivate here...amongst rotten corpses?"
