Every challenge was seen as an opportunity by the butcher. It was an opportunity to learn something new.

'Intent-driven magic can be influenced by one's emotions and will. But the right way to use intent-driven magic is to cultivate a stronger intent.
A spell intent.
An Ability intent.
A domain intent.
A weapon intent.
Intent-driven magic can augment various aspects of your power. Your soul sense plays a vital role in this augmentation.
However, one needs to align their intent with their reality. That's because your subconscious knows what is feasible for you at the moment. So an intent will never get cultivated if it doesn't match your current reality and the efforts you have invested in it.
