Mira moved on to her next tail, the icy-blue one after she had a decent understanding of the Silvery-White one.
This tail's much stronger, physically, pared to her white tail. From what Mira's instincts told her that its ability isn't very plex either. Its ability is to increase Mira's ice affinity, making it stronger and more efficient.
As for how much, well, that depends on how much energy she uses from her tail.
To test things out, she conjured an ice crystal before using the tail and after noting down how much Qi she used and how strong it was. Then, she used up 1% of the energy within her tail, conjured another ice crystal, and pared the differences.
After inspecting them and paring how much energy was used, Mira concluded that the ice crystal she summoned after using her tail was 2% stronger and more efficient than the other ice crystal.
While this didn't sound like much, Mira felt like she could keep this up pretty much indefinitely. So essentially, this tail gave Mira a free 2% boost in power, not including how much she can boost her strength by using up more energy.
Mira then kept using up more energy until she reached 10%. Therefore, making her ice 20% stronger and more efficient. However, she knew that she couldn't stay in this state indefinitely. She could probably only stay in this state for a few hours until she needed to use more energy, but it made sense.
If she could stay in such a state for any longer than that, this ability would be quite overpowered, even when pared to her other abilities.
That said, there's still one last thing she had to test out with this tail: to consume all the energy within the tail at once.
Mira proceeded to wait for the energy in her tail to refill, and when it was full, Mira directly channeled all the energy in her tail at the same time. Immediately after her tail was drained of all its energy, Mira shined in an icy-blue light, and she felt her affinity towards the ice element take a huge jump.
Unfortunately, Mira knew she wouldn't be able to stay in this state for very long, so she immediately got to testing. First, she summoned an ice crystal just like before, but this one was clearly different.
No, it could be said that this ice crystal and the previous one weren't even parable! The density of the ice, the speed at which she created it, and how much Qi it actually took to make it vastly outclassed the previous ones.
From Mira's estimates, her ice affinity took a 400% boost in strength and efficiency, much to Mira's delight.
However, she could also tell that this state would only last for about 5 seconds. That might not sound like much, but Mira can do a lot in 5 seconds, especially with such a boost in strength!
For one, she can spam any ice-related abilities without having to worry about her Qi consumption! So, that's exactly what Mira did!
For the next 5 seconds, Mira spammed as many ice needs, crystals, swords, domains, vines, etc. Anything she could think of, she made!
But when the 5 seconds were eventually over, Mira felt a wave of exhaustion crash into her mind.
'Ugh! It seems it's a bit too much to just spam abilities like that. I'll have to learn how to control that state a bit better.' Mira thought to herself as she dispersed everything she had made.
However, overall, Mira was pleased with the power this tail unknowingly contains. It's quite similar to her golden tail in the sense that they are both incredibly simple but powerful.
Nevertheless, Mira likes these kinds of abilities that just improve her raw stats.
Anyways, since her icy-blue tail is now out of energy, she can only move on to the next tail. Fortunately, she already understood the limits of this tail.
As for the next tail she chose to test out, it was the pinkish-blue one. This tail is physically as strong as her other limbs. It's also her second fluffiest tail, with the fluffiest one being her pink tail.
In terms of aesthetics, this was the tail that Mira liked the most. Normally, she only likes colors like black, red, and blue, but this pinkish-blue color is actually really pretty.
Aside from that, Mira also found the ability of this tail to be one of the most unique and plex. While the description her instincts gave her wasn't that difficult to understand, the multitude of uses and how much time it'll take to master the powers of this tail fully are definitely more significant pared to her other tails.
The only thing she knew about this tail was that she could create illusions with it. However, as someone who has never once used any kind of illusory powers, not in her past lives, the parallel lives she experienced, or her trials, she knew it wouldn't be easy for her to use this power to its full potential.
Mira, at her core, has always been someone who preferred to face her enemies head-on. Sure, she might go for an ambush if they're stronger than her and will usually try to win either by using overwhelming power or taking advantage of how proficient she is in bat, but she hardly ever uses tricks or traps unless needed.
That being the case, using illusions is way out of her fort zone. No, they are something that Mira has never even thought about using. However, she also can't deny how useful illusions can be in battle.
Also, now that she has this power, it would be a plete waste not to make use of it. Still, she underestimated just how hard it would be to make use of this power…
Although she had no idea what she was doing, Mira immediately tried testing out this power by creating a simple rock.
Well, she was able to make the rock without any problems… NOT!
"This looks like shit! Fuck! Is this supposed to be a rock? Why does it look bugged out as if it's glitched? What did I do wrong? How do I improve this? No, more importantly, where do I even start? Ugh! I guess it'll be a while until I'm actually able to use this power in battle. For now, I should just put this on hold until I can find some time to learn more about illusions and practice." Mira thought out loud as she stopped trying to create more illusions.
She didn't want to waste all her time out here when she still has other matters to attend to and other abilities to test out.
