With Raze's breakthrough, although he was back to his old appearance, he wasn't quite sure what benefits it had brought him.
When looking at his Mana heart, he wasn't sure if he could believe it, but he could feel it—nine different star points could be located surrounding his heart.
Although it was more accurate to say these were artificial stars, because with every breakthrough, it was a temporary form, and once the surge in power ended, for a period of time, Raze wouldn't be able to use any magic at all.
Now that he was a nine-star mage, he began to wonder if everything had reverted back to how it was when he was on Alterian.
The fancy display of magic wasn't to show Sha Mo what he could do; it was for Raze's own benefit. He had realized that he now had affinities with elements he hadn't before.
