Chapter-30 Valerius part 3
Thomas’s eyes widened with fascination as he observed the vial, his mind racing to comprehend the complexities of the upcoming test. Valerius’s explanations intertwined with magical theory, painting a vivid picture of what lay ahead.
“While journeyman tests aim to identify the elemental core, this test will delve deeper, seeking to uncover Lith’s unique magical signature,” Valerius explained, his voice resonating with knowledge and experience. “We will create an environment rich in elemental energy, allowing Lith’s magic to resonate and reveal its true essence.”
Master Valerius meticulously prepared a circular array on the floor, arranging intricate sigils and glyphs. The room became bathed in a soft, pulsating glow as the magic within the chamber responded to Valerius’s skilled manipulations.
“Lith, I need you to stand in the center of the array,” Valerius instructed, his tone firm but compassionate. Lith took a deep breath, his heart pounding with anticipation, and stepped into the designated spot.
Valerius observed intently as the magic within the chamber responded to the presence of Lith and the carefully constructed array. The room seemed to come alive, as if the very air hummed with anticipation.
As the resonance test commenced, particles of elemental energy began to manifest within the array. They appeared as small, shimmering specks of various colors, dancing and twirling in intricate patterns. Blues, greens, reds, and yellows swirled together, intermingling and creating a mesmerizing display.
But Valerius’s keen eyes noticed something unusual. Amidst the vibrant dance of colors, Lith’s magical core acted differently from what he had anticipated. Instead of merely absorbing the elemental particles, it seemed to have a peculiar effect on them.
The particles drawn towards Lith’s core were not absorbed completely; rather, they appeared to be drained of their pure magic, leaving behind their elemental affinity. It was as if Lith’s core had a unique ability to extract the essence of magic from each particle, separating it from its elemental nature.
Valerius’s brows furrowed in both fascination and concern. This was unlike anything he had witnessed before. The array pulsed with increasing intensity, reflecting the profound interaction between Lith’s core and the elemental particles.
The swirling vortexes of color within the array began to transform. They started to break apart, shedding particles of different hues as they were drawn into Lith’s body. Blues faded into wisps of silver, greens dissolved into shimmering gold, and reds dissipated into ethereal shades of purple.
It was a mesmerizing spectacle, the dance of colors becoming a mesmerizing symphony of pure magic. Valerius, his own magic tingling in response, exchanged a brief glance with Thomas, who stood by, awe-struck yet vigilant.
As the last remnants of the elemental particles were drawn into Lith’s core, the array’s glow gradually subsided. Silence settled in the chamber, broken only by the sound of Lith’s steady breaths.
Valerius watched with a mixture of fascination and caution, his mind racing with the implications of what he had just witnessed.
It was now undeniable. The unique nature of Lith’s core, as revealed by the array, confirmed Thomas’s suspicions. Lith’s core did not possess a singular, approved elemental affinity—it was undeniably heretical.

Sell the rights
This license represents a full ownership of the downloaded media. The buyer can use it exclusively (exclusivity applies from the moment that the file was downloaded using this license; buyer must take into account potential past downloads made for media and choose it accordingly or investigate further via support), and include it in any type of design with just a few restrictions: sensitive subjects may still apply and the buyer may not claim that the file was created by him nor resell it as his work. The agency will disable the media immediately after the buyer acquired this license. The Contributor is required to disable the file permanently from all other places where he may sell it, as soon as possible after the sale occurred, but no longer than 72 hours. This license grants the buyer exclusivity so the Contributor needs to keep in mind that exclusive media is represented by concepts, models, wardrobe, and subject matter which provide a unique creative message and small variations in the image (variations in camera angle, model posture or gesture, for example) do not enable other files as being different. All such variations rendering the media very similar in concept and message to the one sold under SR-EL should be removed from sale as well. The photographer acknowledge and agrees to provide the buyer with full ownership for the file retrieved using the SR-EL license.
