The Evolution of Mana

However, even though the ancient runes could be considered to be a part of the natural order itself and have existed since the beginning of time, they weren't 'sentient' or 'aware'.

Therefore, the instinctive 'hesitation' that the information displayed while being transmitted was soon overruled by its inherent purpose, which was just being transmitted.

Unlike everyone else though, it happened steadily and gradually with him. Each bit of ancient rune, or a realistic personalized imitation of it, as soon as it approached his sea of consciousness was attracted by his mana core and 'eaten up' by it.

And as the process continued, his already uniquely dark mana core started showing signs of becoming ethereal as if it was approaching closer to a perfect state of being one with the world.
