Forge and alchemy

"So this is how it looks like. This looks a little concerning, do you feel any pain when you use mana or you haven't used it for now."

"I am quite scared of using mana right now, this hand. When I used mana before I wasn't able to control it and something like a sickness started spreading through my body. My hand was black like ash and that effect was going up my arm while some blue veins started going to my heart. It looked a little terrifying but I brewed a healing potion which stopped the effect, then I absorbed more mana, and at one point that black void appeared and my hand changed into whatever it is right now." Erlos was in a thinker position for the entire time we were there, well, we haven't left but for the time being, he hasn't changed his position. He seemed to be thrilled with the information and quite overwhelmed at that as well.
