Pursuing the Unknown

Watching as the vast darkness before him was gradually occupied by both mana and Mystic Energy, the young man briefly had a look of excitement on his face as he was eager to try combining the two.

However, just as the thought of how he'd go about doing so crossed his mind, Valyr stopped himself from acting upon it as he asked himself, "Surely, someone must've tried this before, right?"

"Combining mana with Mystic Energy, that is."

Allowing his thoughts to wander about as his mind focused on the question, the young man felt that it was more or less a given for someone to have already tried the combination before him.

After all, even though he hadn't expected to be taught to combine mana and Shadow Energy together by the one that first succeeded in doing so, the young man had already heard a lot about combining mana with other elements in his past life.
