Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 66

"Poisons?" I asked in confusion. "Not much if I'm being honest."

"That's unfortunate," Zirani replied. "Although didn't you spend time working with your aunt? She's a healer, isn't she? You didn't get any lessons on poisons?"

I shrugged. "I know the basics. A lot of poisons are naturally occurring in nature and are very deadly. They can have a wide range of effects."

"Better than nothing." Zirani sighed. "Well the technique I'm going to teach you is a simple paralytic poison. It's going to be a lot harder to use since you won't be immune to it. You're still only at the first level of infusion and your body is still normal. Honestly, if we weren't at war I wouldn't be teaching you this, but against large groups and low-level arcanists it's very useful."

"How exactly am I going to be able to use it if it's going to affect me?" I asked. "Won't I just get paralyzed the moment the technique is formed?"
