Galio had been tempered by countless torrents of arcane energy on the battlefield, eventually forming a unique life form.
Durand had created Galio, but even Oran could not say how much Galio's birth as a living being had to do with Durand's design.

Being submerged in seawater merely rendered an Ability User
