Space and time bent and twisted around Sylas in endless ebbs and flows. The Dungeon was on the verge of collapsing in one moment, but in the next it seemed to have fallen into the quagmire that was Sylas Grimblade.
Sylas had spent months tuning himself to Will Manifestation. While he didn't actively try and grasp the intricacies of D-tier Rune Mastery, he had long approached Spark Mastery. He had the fundamentals down well enough.
And for someone like him, he didn't often need direct study. Something that was adjacent or nearby could slowly build up his thought processes in order to help him take the next step.
That was why switching to a new form of Rune Mastery was so difficult. Sylas wasn't thinking the way a Hell or Heaven Rune Creator would, so it was impossible for him to build up this passive knowledge over time.
But with this, he could.
And his fight with the puppet was that last step he needed.
