At the same time Dupravel was navigating the Frostburn labyrinth, Leo dedicated himself fully to training Chaosbringer night after night, drilling into him relentlessly the art of [Shapeshift].
"Focus on drawing water into your veins, then bind it with mana control," Leo instructed, as under his guidance, Chaosbringer proved to be a quick learner, absorbing lessons with remarkable speed.
To be fair, Leo did not train him in the complete form of [Shapeshift].
Unlike the way he and Veyr had been forced to master it, with them learning how to transform each body part into fifteen different forms, Chaosbringer was taught only one shape.
Leo stripped the technique down to its essence, teaching him nothing about elongating bones, contracting muscles, or twisting features into new configurations.
Instead, he focused solely on one transformation: the Twelfth Elder.
