Damn it, how was she supposed to work like this?! Her MP pool seemed almost entirely too small. Perhaps there was some way to have a deeper pool of it? It would certainly be most helpful if there was some way to do such a thing. Agh, damn...if she had that tainted Mana Crystal she had earlier, perhaps she could use that as some sort of...experimental base, but that would mean she still couldn't do it without relying on a secondary substance. hm... For now Ash meditated, refilling her MP. She only got one fast skill progression now. Did that mean shaving off the 'atoms' from the Mana Orb mean she was working on another skill as well? That would be useful, but not entirely helpful right now. Maybe she could somehow change the coloring of the other particles? But how could she do that? Use an outside source? Unhelpful for her current goal. She thought back to the first time her Poison interacted with her Mana. It had been mostly unhelpful. She missed one of the more important processes...but perhaps she was wrong to consider it as such? She did see how the particles moved when naturally introduced to Poison. Perhaps if she could duplicate that... Exhaling, Ash formed another Mana Orb and activated Mana Vision. Once more she began shaving off the uneeded particles - but this time kept Green, Blue, and Purple. She began forcing several Green and Blue particles into the nucleus, followed by the few gold and red until there were none left. Next she began forcing the remaining Green and Blue particles together, merging and forcing them together as she had observed in her first attempt.
