Importance of Paintings

"This painting doesn't have much Intent actually, your Majesty," the headmaster explained. "if you want to see ones with better Intent in them, I can take you to our hall of fame where the best of the best paintings are kept."

Alex slowly moved away from the painting still quite surprised. "That painting had quite the intent too," he said.

"Yes, but you have to spend some time concentrating on it to feel it," the headmaster said. "You can actually feel the intent from the good ones by just glancing at them."

Alex nodded and walked away.

"I wasn't aware that such a thing was possible," Alex said. "So you can train Intent with paintings too huh?"

Was that why the room for painting was on the highest of floors in the Sundering Sanctum? Were the immortals aware of how useful paintings could be?

Now that he thought about it? Was his paintings back then just bad or had he just not put any intent into what he was making?
