With that Orion stopped attempting to learn new spells as having too many options in battle could be a bad thing and lead to indecision and delays.He had to get awaited with his new spells in battle and find out what he was missing.

Orion was pleased with his new spells.Two allowed him to directly attack the soul so even if an enemy had powerful defences he could still bypass them and do serious damage.One allowed him to detect souls which if true would allow him to bypass things such as stealth or illusions.Telekinesis was useful for lazy people but was incredibly powerful.
Orion decided to look through rituals and magical theories.There were some that were incredibly powerful and others useful while some were both.Orion noticed that a good portion were useful for creating spirits and souls such as boggarts or soul golems.Others were to destroy such creatures permanently and included the destruction of demons.There was one ritual that particularly got Orions attention.
This particular ritual required a mass sacrifice.The sacrifice was that of the lives of dozens of mages.It could be any amount of mages but it had to be mages particularly regardless of what magic they uses.Once these mages killed themselves theirs souls would be partially destroyed with the sense of self and independent thought completely disappearing.All that was left were memories,talents and magic.What was left of the mages souls would be funneled into the underdeveloped soul of an extremely young fetus within an expectant mother.What was left of the mages souls would become part of the fetuses underdeveloped soul with the fetus as the centrepiece.The result was an incredibly powerful and unnatural soul amalgamation.The fetus would develop into a child with an incredibly high potential as the soul and body affect each others development.The soul decides the body and the body decides the soul.The soul amalgamation would make the body develop incredibly strongly which would in turn make the soul develop strongly.The result was a strong body with plently of mana.The child would be able to access the memories,talents and knowledge of all the mages that had died.The child would grow up to be a superhuman but they would never grow up as an ordinary child or man.
The side effects of the ritual for the newly born superhuman included nightmares of suicide,awful memories of a past life,unable to enjoy a life of discovery or curiousity as they already possess the knowledge,rejected by the light,will inevitably go to hell when they die,unknown birth marks,depression,possible insanity,suicidal tendencies,antisocial behavior and a need to have their body monitored for possible deformities and slight malformations.
As far as Orion knew the deformities and malformations side effect was far less likely nowadays as they had further perfected the ritual but it was still likely.It was said that the ritual was used in many parts of the world.Its purpose was to create superhuman soldiers and leaders to fight against monsters.
