Unique In The World?

Maleck did not answer right away but just looked at the book in front of him. The marble book was shut tight and he even tried to open it with his hands, only for it to repel them. 

~sua~

Then all of a sudden, the sphere returned to its normal white marble color and the book landed back on the altar as well, showing that the altar had run out of Aether.

"In the thirty years I've been a priest of Etara, I've never seen something like this…" Maleck muttered.

While Kiana was confused, Lucius already had a good guess of what had happened after seeing the information given by the Nexus. The Appraisal Sphere of Etara had been unable to find what his gift was because it had never existed before and thus there were no records of it.

The black color of the sphere was also because of this, as that was one of the signs of failure to appraise. This was different from when one did not have a gift as then the sphere would just not show any reaction.
