So many tasks!

For a second, Ray didn't know how to quite take the news that he had just been told. It was quite possible the Divine being was lying to him. But why would there be a need to? After all, they both had a similar end goal in sight. 

Now knowing about this, Ray started to recall all the times he had used mana steal. Every time he had encountered a tough situation, he had used it. During his time as a human, it was just impossible to count. 

It had always saved him in a pinch. 

In some cases, Ray would use it directly with people, most of the time on his enemies, but there were times when he used it on Jack as well. 'Does it affect them more if I use it directly?'

Then he started to think about when he used it as a whole. As long as they were contracted, Ray was able to use mana steal on them. When doing it this way, there was no way for him to pick and choose who he took mana from. The power that was taken was distributed equally.
