667 A Lot To Take In (3)

The familiar allure of mana appealed to Skullius.

The book in Aurolio's hand felt like it was made by expertly condensing mana and weaving it into a solid, permanent object. The beautiful cover with a different insignia from the one he had seen on the two books that had helped him begin his twisted journey – the book that granted him [Lifeless Evolution] and the one that granted [Flesh It Like You Mean It] – was on this variant.
