What does being a Sage mean?

'Now I can finally test its effects!' he thought excitedly.

Before, he knew the Scent had a particular effect on the people close to him, but since he couldn't control it so precisely, there was no way for him to test it.

Now that he could manipulate it to its will, he could inject the Scent into random people to test its effects.

With more control also came a better perception of it. He could vividly feel the dense amount of the Scent circulating inside the trio's body.

Raven had accumulated the most of it since she had been with him for the longest, but there seemed to be a limit to how much could be absorbed as Blaze and then Zier wasn't too behind either.

'Should I cleanse their bodies?' he pondered for a moment before rejecting the notion.

There could be some unwanted effects if he removed the Scent so suddenly.
