A Glitch?

The bluish golden rays of morning sunlight entered the room, illuminating the bare chested figure of Samar practicing the 108 motions of Mana Conversion Art. Surprisingly, the exercise was useful in the real world as well, helping him absorb Mytherium in the air. 

What shocked him the most was that it paired extremely well with the Tej Mantra's breathing rhythms, showing exponential effects on his body! 

As Samar went through the movements, dry and charred flakes of skin fell around him, as if he was undergoing a molting. His body was being exfoliated, unveiling the young and glowing skin underneath the dead and dry tissues.

The effects of the combination were great for his skin but they were not limited to cosmetics; he also felt a deeper change within his body. Samar had a feeling that his body was lighter, his movements smoother and his muscles a little more firmer than the day before.
