Iver felt somewhat helpless.
Although the Lord of Scales and Feathers had given him a Golden Entry, he had no choice at all. Dissolving Soul was a core Entry that every Illuminator absolutely needed, so once it appeared, he could only choose it.
All three Entries this time were extremely valuable.
Even the purple Entry Scorching Flame Heart was merely unsuitable for Iver—it strengthened spells by one level of priority, which was equivalent to adding one level of penetration. And all it required was "consuming Fire Attribute mana"; it did not even specify that the spell itself had to be a Fire Attribute spell.
For a Blood Mage's blood-burning build, which could restore health after burning blood and form a self-sustaining cycle, removing the negative cost of having to burn blood to activate it turned this into a simple, straightforward damage-boosting Entry.
If Iver advanced into the Great Beast Master, gained the ability to merge with the Great Sin Beast, and primarily used the Paradox Flame Butterfly as his core combat power, this Entry would be quite useful.
All of the Paradox Flame Butterfly's various spell abilities definitely consumed Fire Attribute mana. That would be equivalent to gaining one level of penetration outright.
And War Rhythm...
What kind of ridiculous Entry was this?! It was incredibly powerful, all right. When bullying weak enemies, it could stack up to seven buffs at most, and once fully stacked, it could even steadily restore health. It was equivalent to carrying an entire priesthood around, following behind him and applying buffs.
It was obviously powerful at a glance. He simply had no use for it.
...Because Iver did not fight in melee at all.
Although he would be able to merge with his beasts once he eventually became the Great Beast Master... setting aside
