Bab 66: 3rd mana art

<Why didn't you tell me all of this before? Ah, forget it! Now is not the time. Just tell me in a brief about these half skills and talents first.>

[You understand the difference between active and passive, right?] 

<Active is something that you have control over while passive work in the background.> 

[Yeah, that will do. So the thing is that except for the first time, you can only get the active spirit skills. No matter how many times your spirit evolves, you can't get the passive spirit skills.]

<Why? >

[I am not sure but it may be because of the mana arts. Every mana art consumes mana to get the result, so maybe that's why all of them are active skills and people call them 'spirit skills'. ]

He rubbed his chin. <That kind of makes sense, but then what about the names of the first spirit skills? Why call it the half-skill or the spirit talents? >
