Two spells. In one afternoon.
Finn sat on his bed, staring at his Soul Register, and a question surfaced in his mind:
Why was that so easy?
Not to take away from the effort it took — he'd worked hard, practiced for hours, dealt with disorientation and headaches. But relatively speaking... shouldn't learning to actively use a fragment probably take weeks? Months?
Osmund had given him the assignment like it was a long-term project, not something he expected Finn to accomplish in a day.
I guess it's because it's somewhat similar to when I touch on concepts during adaptations, Finn thought slowly.
Reaching for Geri and Freki's loyalty. Observing Garuda's divine servitude. Both times, I was... shaping abstract concepts. Making them manifest in specific ways.
He frowned as the pieces clicked together.
My soul already knows how to actively work with concepts. Every adaptation trained it, taught it the skill of grasping something abstract and giving it form.
