Getting a move on!

What Ephine didn't know was that the reason it didn't hurt had to do with compatibility. She had been absorbing mana crystal from someone of her own race after all, so it would be rather weird if it rejected her strongly. To others, this mana crystal would be nothing but endless troubles, as it wasn't cheap at all and it would be really hard to absorb for someone who didn't practice the correct elements. 

If Ark tried to absorb this mana crystal, it would be even easier, as his race was an even more advanced elemental wolf. But at the same time, its uses would also be limited for him. Thufrat, on the other hand, would be pretty strongly rejected by the mana crystal, as the only element he really used was earth. Since he didn't have an affinity for the other elements.
