Chapter 32: Comprehending First Intent

"So this is Intent."
[Your Understanding is Against Heaven. By observing the flames of the ’Intent of Fire’ for prolonged periods of time, you have comprehended the Intent of Fire to Level 1.]
Intents embodied all sorts of aspects of life and could be just about anything.
Fire. Water. Sword. Table-flip. Wall. Spear.
The possibilities were almost endless.
But no matter the Intent, they were generalized within four categories. These categories, despite not determining how good that specific Intent was, still guided future Evolvers toward the Intent meant for them.
Those categories and their subcategories were:
Combat – Attack, Defense, Blocking, etc.
Auxiliary – Knowledge, Medical, Utility, Passive, Stealth, Crafting, and the like.
Miscellaneous – Wall, Bed, Lamp, and the like would be Intents under this category (essentially the useless kinds of Intents, possessing nowhere near the same level of power as a normal Rank 2 Evolver using an Intent from a different Category).
