Nah. That wouldn''t make sense, Murai thought. This species was described as magical. They could be prone to cores forming, though unlocking it might be hard. This one worked with evolution in mind.
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
“Mana is encompassing. A storm of rules and Laws that works like the energy of flesh and space. The universe thrives before space. Space crawls before mana. Mana flows in strands like veins through the bodies of celestial properties. The physical realms connect it, dancing on the palm or deep in the core.” Murai recited some memorials.
<div>
[Dear Citizen, you have reached special circumstances regarding the readings of your Will and soul. Thus, certain effects and world thresholds are questioned within the rules, or strictly adhered to Breaches]
[The Soul Body fused with your advancement. Anatidae Panacea is magical, though its body and soul of your caliber met some issues. Addition modifications of your Will are counted in troubles. Your Will is strong. Too strong. No amount of change and strangeness will make it fitting]
<div>
<div>
[Body status of Strength, Dexterity, and Vitality are strengthened according to the species'' specialty, and strengthened Soul Body met certain conditions]
<div>
<div>
[Your Will is tremendous! It is SHAKING!]
[Your tiny legs are a far cry from your soul]
[Command. Power. A great calamity of importance is advancing through your Will, reaching desires known by few]
<div>
<div>
[Hence, against the odds of living and souls, Robust Spirit is Breached]
[Cause: Will and power of your Soul Body works conjunction but in no fusion with the Will]
<div>
<div>
[Soul Body carried Soul Essence. It went hand in hand, growing in no higher grade, yet something did meet its mark, assembling a way toward the Robust Spirit. It is created after the criteria of the unknown. Requirements have complex clauses]
[Reasons denied]
[Causes not found]
[Soul Essence has turned into the Soul Body a long time ago, so the Soul Body has been altered. Robust Spirit cheers on, flickering in an unhinged mockery, and forcing the Soul Body to become its food]
[Robust Spirit is...] the voice hesitated, as if fearful, doubtful, or not knowing what it could be. [A power over the soul and Will, yes. That is the Robust Spirit. Its power is absolute. Stronger than the rest]
[Robust Spirit overlapped and ate it—the reasons—turning to the purpose of nobody but itself. It is you, Citizen. Robust Spirit is the soul]
<div>
<div>
[Robust Spirit: A physical and mental manifestation of your Will and soul. It''s based on the ability of the old spirit, portraying a historical characterization of the Old World. An endured Old Soul, or so it suggested]
[Robust Spirit: For now, it has a UNTOLD threshold of potential or familiarity. Readings are denied, unallocated, and out of the rules. Further intent and abilities will depend on your future Will, followed by the specific and unique circumstances alongside your soul. Thus, it has no redeeming quality for the time being, apart from forming and strengthening who you are inside, or far deeper]
[Acting like an Unyielding Will, Unshakable, Sturdy Soul, or other variously mental-type of powers, Robust Spirit acts unlike them. It has its passivity, protecting, enduring, and taking Soul Body''s place]
[Everything will become related. Be warned, or expectant]
<div>
<div>
[Level 2: Fusion ability of Divine Beast Bloodlines]
<div>
<div>
[Grade SS: Unique Power of Soul Pathway]
<div>
<div>
[Alongside the Robust Spirit, Anatidae Panacea has its Mana Core. It has been recalculated under the new potential of your body, how well it took, and how mana space is stable enough. The first step of the initiation is important]
[Mana Flow has successfully made all roots and truths, creating the Mana Core]
[Current Stage: Initialization]
[Success: Small]
<div>
<div>
[Curent Mana pool:1000]
[Mana Replenishment has initiated its passivity and rules, becoming an established source and course for your mana. 10 a minute is the current reality, though the points and expenditure are rather physical, obvious by your core or mana flowing in your mana space]
[Replenishment can become stronger, more efficient, and quicker depending on the level, or various buffs. Setting, surrounding mana, structures, runes, and many other things could influence this Grade F mana ability]
<div>
<div>
<div>
[With that successful, what about the magic?] the voice asked curiously. [Panacea is equivalent to a Magus of some unspecified races, but amongst the beasts, this one is special]
[Initialization Core gives rise to other things, thanks to your specials that have long-lasting effects and readings at this stage. Those are battle freaks, magic mules, and battle ducks in many depictions]
<div>
<div>
[Their biggest advantage lies in Universal Affinity. No matter the element, most could excel in numerous things at once. Their Elements or Force could be extraordinary. It goes deep, along with a powerful history and Bloodlines. Most of it is caused by endurance and their Origin]
[The presence of mana itself can give rise to new understanding]
[You are certainly a Blessed, so don''t waste this!]
<div>
<div>
[Universal Affinity is perfect for performing all kinds of magic. The kind depends on the user, as it is a tool that comes under your command, or our readings. Be wary. Our studies show certain merits to Anatidae magics. It has a certain... fondness for the flow and insanity]
[Mana Shaping is created]
<div>
<div>
[Mana Shaping: One of the few magic fundamentals. Mana shall be under your Will. There are two kinds of styles upon this flow: Conjuring and Shaping. There is a certain cost to the extent of your power, control, amount of Conjuring, and easiness. Training is recommended]
[Further familiarity and use of the Shaping can lead to improvements. Like the growth of flesh, mana roars like abilities do. Levels and Grades are that, though evolutions are subject to many things. Discovering, training, or forcing some spells under your tries might give you an edge over our readings, thus, gifting you things in return. Spells and magic abilities are pivotal]
[Current progress or aptitude in Shaping? None. You better get moving, or you will be left behind or die!]
<div>
<div>
[Grade C: Panacea''s specialty - Grade of Shaping is strengthened by choice of the sub-species over the regular Mana Wielding, though part is under your flow and soul]
<div>
<div>
[Level 1]
<div>
magic might be different. Worlds had many unique depictions of magic when mana flowed eternally. And in this world that had some sort of view under these Levels or Grades, he thought of it as interesting.

Past keeps history. Lives go and Ends come. What is before everyone is just a glimpse of the Fate. Murai understood his choices were nonexistent. He disliked his living, so what could change it?
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
No. No, Murai quickly refused this idea Mana Pool is different from the norm. It displays a talent for how much mana could be around and within me. It is more complicated than that, but this simple guess proves nothing but more questions. For the start, is 1000 a lot? No clue...
<div>
<div>
<div>
I have no hands, nor many practical ways to fight apart from my beak, so how to go about Shaping them with my head? Murai thought and tried to follow his hunch. My mind will have to do. Alright. That decides the fundamentals of what I will be doing. Mental Shaping. Not Touch Shaping or Folding elements. Those needs proper...well, body and the rest. Do I have the rest?
<div>
<div>
people for sure.
<div>
<div>
Wait, he thought. Mana in the Alfhenhaim was kind of lackluster, but it shouldn''t be far off. It should be close. And the mana pool was also present in that world because of its Gods and history. It had no numerical advantage, though it did give rise to negligence, pointing fingers at those with small pools, and so on. Here, it is the same, yet I say not. It is a numerical point. Like some sort of system. One can always rely on feeling one''s mana. Handlers could be worse though, but that isn''t my case. In percentages, mostly. Or roughly by hand, feet, or head. Shapers have it easy. Now, what to do when it feels this hard to feel and Shape?
What to make of it? I never figured out the highest power in Alfhenhaim, but I see it similar here. It might be ten times more complicated in terms of context and my body, but there isn''t only mana under my wings. As a demonic magical beast, I am kind of different from anything I''ve experienced in terms of mana. This adds a lot of variables to my head.

[Goal! No! A Task] the mechanical voice cheered.
[Your source of the beginning was an interesting one]
[A first evolution is successful, which is even greater]
[You are also alive, which is grander than greater]
[For now, you reached the threshold of Level 5 thanks to your hard... Bloodline, and not the least bit thanks to your hard work. How utterly strange, pointless, and lackluster]
<div>
<div>
[Hence, there is a need for a goal or a Task? Something to make you work for your intent as a Blessed is fitting. Battleworld loves its Blessed. It is such a wonderful place after all. To take a cheer of a second life]
[The current Task is the following: Experience the world of Demonic Lands. Follow the course of 10 battles against their opponents within your level or above it]
<div>
[There are no time limits. No rewards. Just plain ol'' brawling and adventure, which may benefit the Blessed in many courses and give you a journey ahead. It is as intended to make small changes, even though Boosts and your path itself may be your reward as you fight and take this Task for a job]
<div>
[Try harder to not disappoint us!]
<div>
<div>
It is mocking me, but what are the Demonic Lands? Is the Rain''s feather coming into effect so soon? I bet it should be something along with that. Murai assumed.
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Death choice was one thing. Peniscula with its flesh the other.
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
I knew it. I am indeed lacking in terms of compressions of this species''s mana. I am no devil, and a demonic beast isn''t like a demon itself. This body of mine and the flow of mana feel different from the normal. I should improve and increase my familiarity with it in future training. It is new. Not old and set by my memory. Thus, this needs new ideas and approaches. Then, it should be more comfortable, right? Being a magical duck sounds enticing enough so I shall give it a try.
