Kraun was perfectly content. He could use the Evil Spirit's abilities without being affected by its evil thoughts—a flawless arrangement.

He let out a few sinister laughs, then continued reading.

"A Spirit Controller's strength can be measured in two ways: quality and quantity."

"The quality dimension refers to continually developing an Evil Spirit's abilities and bringing its power to the utmost. Spirit Controllers can have the Evil Spirit within them devour other Evil Spirits. Continually using an Evil Spirit's power and binding new Evil Spirits are ways for this type of Spirit Controller to grow. Devouring Evil Spirits of the same nature is especially effective;"

"The quantity dimension refers to binding multiple Evil Spirits and maintaining a balance among the ones within the body. This allows a Spirit Controller to have a variety of ways to fight, and this approach has other advantages as well."

"After conducting research, the Warlock Guild discovered that if a Spirit Controller binds two Evil Spirits that happen to have some inherent relationship of mutual restraint, the risk of losing control drops considerably. Research into these inherent relationships is still in its early stages, and no reliable patterns have been identified yet."

"Sometimes, when Evil Spirits whose abilities appear to counter each other are bound within the same Spirit Controller, he loses control even faster. In New Calendar Year 86, a Spirit Controller successfully bound both an Evil Spirit capable of controlling fire and one capable of controlling ice. He lost control the following year. The two utterly different elemental forces rampaged through his body, and the poor man burst into a dazzling firework of flesh and blood, ice and flame."

"Sometimes, binding two Evil Spirits whose abilities appear identical can instead create an eerie balance, greatly reducing the risk of losing control."
