Every day for six years straight, from the time he was twelve, Darius Omen hit an anvil with a hammer ten thousand times a day without stopping. He did not know the reason why he needed to, all he knew was that he had to. Little did he know that hit by hit, strike by strike, his originally meek body was being refined into something that had never been seen before in the history of mankind.

In the war against spirits, mankind had little to be proud of. Yet one day a young man entered the battlefield. He dazzled millions and killed even more, all with merely a rusty old hammer than no one could hold or fathom.

Infallible Oathbreaker

Fay sat up and her eyes twinkled, "This- this is Lady Farah's specialized skill, Will of the Flame!"

Specialized skills were abilities created by combining multiple abilities within a person. So they could only be passed on by people who possessed similar abilities, some with more stringent requirements.

Will of the flame allowed Lady Farah to convert Indomitable into a flame and pass it on for use to another person. The consequences were permanent, allowing the chosen people to experience Indomitable!

To use this skill one must have 3 abilities. A fire affinity, Indomitable and the ability to finely manipulate spirit essence on a granular level!

The last two requirements were incredibly hard to achieve. Will of the Flame was a technique so valuable as it could double or triple an army's power! It was a tactical weapon!
