Annan was slightly startled at the remark.
"...Why did Amos steal your Curse Bearing item?"
He found it rather strange.
Even if Amos managed to get Joseph's Curse Bearing item, he wouldn't be able to inherit his level or use his spells, would he?
The greatest significance of a Curse Bearing item is to activate Transcendent abilities above the silver rank.
If you steal someone's Curse Bearing item, you can temporarily seal all of their active abilities above silver rank—of course, passive abilities still can't be sealed.
Generally, this method is used for transporting and detaining Transcendent prisoners.
Only the professions in the Hunter line can effectively convert the Curse Bearing items into their own combat power.
But clearly... Amos couldn't possibly be a Hunter.
He wasn't even a Transcendent.
That is to say, Joseph's silver bracelet was of no value to Amos. If he wanted to subdue Joseph... the best method would be to shoot him again.
