For a few minutes after that I just sat there and mulled over all of the new information I had, putting together new ideas as I sorted through it to figure out another way to get stronger.
Friede's Manuals were by far the most important amongst the ones I had purchased, and the vast amount of knowledge within them was definitely worth the price tag; the story that was told with each section of the manual was a fascinating one, and I was hopeful that I could piece together more of her story over time.
A woman born amongst the commoners with a Core that just so happened to be attuned to Ice Magic was a parallel that we somewhat shared, though that was all that really seemed similar between us since Friede turned to the church to find her purpose, and I was more... self driven.
