Chapter 154: First Goal: Decide

Their teacher waited for the information to sink in, then continued,

"If Caim had been born at that time, upon awakening his affinity for fire, he would have perceived no difference in the world around him. Because no Fire Sorcerer existed before him, the Fire Mana produced by their Fire Spells during their lifetime and the dissolution of their Sparks at their death would not exist. This is why I say that whatever elemental energy you perceive comes from you and those who came before you. If you invent a spell that has never been used before you, no matter what elemental affinity you awaken, you will find nothing. So a first lesson we can derive from this is that trying to be original is not always a good idea. Too much talent, creativity and ambition can also backfire."
