The deep lines on his face slowly faded, his sagging features tightening until he looked like a man in his prime once more. His skin lost its dry, worn look, turning firm and healthy.

Violet Essence surged out from within me, dense and controlled. I raised my hand and pointed at Orobas, releasing a focused beam of Essence that struck him squarely in the chest.
The effect was immediate.
