Biting into the apple, my senses were overwhelmed by an explosion of flavor, as if every cell in my palate ignited simultaneously. The fruit seemed to melt in my mouth, releasing a cool, revitalizing liquid that slid down my throat with an icy smoothness. However, instead of heading directly to my stomach, the liquid vanished into the air, as if being absorbed by an invisible force, and in an instant, I felt a cold current rushing through my body, followed by a sharp pain that seemed to reverberate in the depths of my being.

For a brief but intense moment, I found myself caught in a storm of conflicting sensations: the piercing cold intertwined with a sensation of warmth welling up from within me, while the pain seemed to transform into an electric tingling coursing through my limbs. And then, amidst that cacophony of sensations, I sensed my mana orb absorbing the essence of the apple, expanding slowly to encompass the newly acquired flow of energy.
