Arc on his own

With everyone else gone Arc stayed in the shop pouring over the research, he was completely riveted to the raw amount of information especially about magic which it seemed like he possessed a very high affinity for. It was like wielding magic was natural to which greatly intensified his desire to learn more.

There was enough caffeine in his system to keep his eyes wired open as he hastily went from examining one document to the next in a blur of espresso induced research craze. His micro brew was set to an all time high level of caffeination in order to keep up with how much he had to deal with.

He performed many tests based off of the information and found that manipulating mana was as easy as any other energy source for him and much to his delight could draw in an exceptional amount of that energy from his surroundings until his mana pool became full. He even found out he could personally convert other energies into mana which greatly helped his experimentations.
