Soren folded Ryan's note and set it aside, his gaze returning to the handwritten manual.
Knowing this technique originated from the Sunless Emperor changed everything. He flipped to the first page, his eyes scanning the text as he quickly began to read through the contents.
The manual detailed an incredibly profound method of energy manipulation.
