"Are you sure that's even possible? I thought 'Esoteric Arts' could only be accomplished by those with the genetic gift."
"Genetic? What is the meaning of genetic?"
"It means it's in the blood, hereditary you know. I was under the impression that only those that have the gift passed down to them from their parents could use them."
"Ah! Yes yes, there is some truth there. There is a very good chance that the children of 'gifted' ones could also have it, often many times stronger even. But that does not mean others cannot awaken their own gifts. Anyone that can perceive the Umbral planes can use these arts."
Hao Xuan's hopes were reignited in full force because that was one thing he could very easily do at the moment.
"Really, in that case please guide me brother," Hao Xuan gave him a light bow as a sign of respect, which Vlitgar graciously accepted.
