Chapter 271: Soulful Insight
The Grand Magus sat in silent contemplation after examining Kefira. He tapped his lips with his finger as he was lost in thought. Gennet couldn’t wait any longer after only a few moments and spoke up.
“So?” He asked. “What’s going on?”
The Grand Magus seemed surprised that anyone else was in the room after being addressed. He shook his head and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
“Everything is as expected, for the most part,” he answered. “We just miscalculated on the timing.”
“What does that mean?” Reivyn asked.
Gennet, Silfa, and the other members of Kefira’s family seemed to understand what the Grand Magus was talking about. The Grand Magus turned his attention toward Reivyn.
“We always knew that the seal wasn’t a permanent solution,” he explained. “This isn’t the first time we’ve had to change the seals out. As you know, Kefira’s soul is too strong for her body, putting increased stress on her physical being. We need to seal a portion of her soul to alleviate the problem.
“If we make the seal too strong, she won’t have access to her abilities and Skill and might not even be able to Level her Skills at all. If it’s too weak, like it apparently has been, the power will leak through and exhaust her body.
“What I mean by our timing was off is that her Skills have advanced at a much more rapid rate than anticipated. The soul has capacity, power, and intensity. The capacity of the soul generally refers to the combination of number of Skills and their Level. Higher Level Skills fill the capacity quicker than additional lower Level Skills.
