Condensing a Bolt of Transcendence

It was a thumb-sized crystal with a metallic texture, sporting orange and black stripes amidst a golden hue. There was a soft glisten to it, capable of causing the colour of the stripes to vary based on the viewing angle.

 

Royal Zinger—Sumatra gold!

 

This was the piece of Sumatra Gold that had begun to form on Inala's heart, akin to a wart. As he observed it, he continued to absorb Prana nonstop. It would take him two years to finish condensing it fully. Until then, he had other things to do.

 

First of all, the Biome Lattice was steadily gathering Prana. Inala only had to lure the Phells once a month for his needs. He didn't go overboard for a few reasons.

 

If he overhunted the Phells, their population might be affected in the long run. This was easily possible if he were to continue drawing in them using a Royal Zinger's presence.
