The Fifth Core

It was so hard!

I could feel my blood vessels pulsating. Even the tiniest bit of error could prove fatal. Absorbing such dense energy was very risky and required the utmost level of concentration. It was fortunate that I was currently in a quiet location, else there would be no way to achieve such a degree of focus.

My little body struggled to contain the energy it was receiving, as it sent the energy to my Mana Particles which were charged up and energized to an unfathomable degree. Quickly, I controlled the fast current of Mana Particles and guided them in the direction I wanted.

Where would my fifth core be? It had to be one of the most critical and overlooked parts of the body.

'My back!'

Yes, that was the best spot for my currently forming Core. While offensive abilities were useful for Mages, defense was equally important. To achieve balance in my body, having a readily available Mana Core for defense was pertinent!
