True Master

After realizing that there was no way for him to extrapolate just one aspect of a technique without having any knowledge of how techniques functioned in the first place, Alex removed any thoughts of creating the pill-forming technique while he was here.

Alex also thus gave up on trying to create the perfect pill. Until he had the pill forming technique ready, he would have to give up on increasing his pill-making ability.

That wasn't to say he had made no improvements at all. Just being able to make pills with more than 60% harmony was already good enough for the little training he had done.

Also, it was only hard to learn about structure and composition the first few times. Once he got a hang of it, he could improve the pill without even thinking about it.

Alex couldn't wait for that time when he could simply look at an ingredient and tell what he needed to do to get the best variation of the recipe.
