The moment the ability selection ended, Lu Bai immediately understood how [Ink Dye (Color)] worked.
But it wasn't quite what he'd imagined. Just as the ability description said, it could only paint objects black, and it had no effect on living things.
Well, this was awkward...
Then what on earth had earned this ability a Color-grade rating?
Unwilling to give up, Lu Bai opened his eyes and looked around. Then he picked up an apple from the fruit basket.
He stared at the apple in his hand, widening his eyes like Amaterasu, and activated [Ink Dye].
In an instant, the bright red apple turned as black as ink.
Maybe one apple was too small, but using the ability didn't seem to cost him anything.
But what good was that?
Even its texture and weight hadn't changed. All he'd done was change its color.
He restored the apple and put it back in the fruit basket.
Lu Bai fell silent, lost in thought.
Generally speaking, the fewer restrictions an ability had, the more versatile it was.
Strictly speaking, [Ink Dye] had one and a half restrictions. One was that it couldn't turn living things black; the other half was that the target had to be within sight.
It was only half a restriction because, barring obstructions, the range of one's vision could theoretically extend without limit.
Assuming the ability had to be useful somehow, [Ink Dye] was probably different from most straightforward abilities.
It wasn't like [Blood Rage] or [Flash Time], whose uses were obvious. To figure out how to use it effectively, he'd have to put some thought into it.
Could he use it to expose invisible things? Or paint weapons and clothes black to provide a degree of camouflage?
No, that line of thinking seemed a little off. If
