Elental mana flowed around Walker. He was using the eternal orb to condense and store as much as the orb could hold. From there he was slowly mixing the manas together to create the natural mana that he would need to use better skills and manipulate elental mana with more fluidity. However, the ntal strain was where he was feeling the pressure.
Since Walker had dedicated himself to mostly magical skills he had been constantly taxing his mind and body. He had decent strength and endurance due to their travels and the fact that whenever he trained he would use movent skills in so form. Yet, he had skipped out on the long periods of ditation that most mages would do to expand their mind and strengthen it. Being able to find their own calm in the midst of elental chaos was why a mage would be able to do great and wondrous things with their elental magic.
It wasn't that Walker had not ditated before. But it was too short of a ti. He should have taken a longer and slower thod to understand each elental mana. Now he was left with a rougher use of elental mana that had been trained through pressure and experience. This was not all bad since it led to him having the high earth sculpting skill and a better understanding of earth elental mana in general.
Walker had been able to grasp the fire elental mana better because of his bond with Midnight along with the training he did originally. One of the first elental skills he had was fire bolt which he rarely used now due to his recent focus on other elental manas and physical combat. If he was able to put so ti in to truly understanding fire and potentially understanding the golden flas that Midnight breathed, he might make a major breakthrough and could create draconic flas.
There was also the potential to understand dark elental mana better. He had the shadow wrapping skill along with the black flas which were rarely used. But other than that he had only manipulated them here and there in reference to training and light elental mana. This was also the case with light elental mana since he rarely used the skills he had that revolved around it. They were hard to use for him because of his lower understanding.
The positive was that Walker had already delved in to these elental manas. He had used them to learn skills and had the grand elental manipulation. On top of that, he could manipulate natural mana. This went even further when Fleur joined him to manipulate the manas.
"Alright Fleur, I am going to try and ditate the right way. I read it in a book that a master mage wrote. It was only a copy but it was enlightening. All the ditation I have done has been nothing real compared to how this is supposed to go." Walker prepared himself and took a deep breath. He had the perfect environnt, the perfect instructions, and the ti before the golem army would head out to go after the dwarves' enemies; giant earth ants.
"I have no body….I am only mana….flow with the mana around and take the journey through its life…" Walker repeated words that he rembered from the writings. This was mostly to control his breathing and calm his mind. Everything was buzzing around him since he had beco very sensitive to elental mana through his bond with Fleur. However, he felt it was calming. He was almost more at ho when surrounded by this dense elental mana than he normally was.
There was a warmth spreading from his beach where Fleur was pulling the eternal manas toward the spirit mark. The eternal orb hovered over Walker's head as it directed even more elental manas toward him. He could tell that the mana was mixing slowly but that was not his focus. What he was focusing on now was how his body interacted with the mana.
Walker knew that he had the problem where his mana would bleed out of him due to the over absorption and strain he had placed on his mind and body. His body couldn't store the mana within it because there was weakness. Yet, for so reason, Walker felt that he was actually becoming stronger. Every single breath brought in different elental manas and allowed his body to separate from his mind.
It was almost as if Walker was looking down on himself. He could see how the different elental manas of the world lded in to his human body. He even could see faint twinges of red strings around him. As his mind cald he was able to feel that these were the bonds he had. One with Fleur that speckled with every elental mana. It nourished and shared his spirit with her and vice versa.
The storing that had small black and white speckles around it was clearly Walker's bond with Onyx. it seed to disappear then beco bright again and again. Walker felt that he was inheriting so of Onyx's unique characteristics. He could feel that over ti the connection would be more than just a bond but one that shared skills and traits.
The most powerful was the bond with Midnight. The string was thick and golden flecks danced around it. Walker could tell that it ca from the unending trust he and Midnight shared. There was an untold connection that shared their souls with one another, therefore, sharing Midnight's true dragon champion bloodline with Walker to a very small degree. This was also how Midnight gained the natural mana affinity from Walker.
All of them were connected and Walker felt that he was understanding his own being much more while he allowed his body to bond and beco shaped by these forces. The natural mana was building up as it lded with his body.
