For Green, creating a suitable Emotional Self-Sealing Art was a simple matter, given the vast accumulation of knowledge at his disposal.
But the trickiest part of the Emotional Self-Sealing Art wasn't performing the seal. It was that afterward, one's emotions became dulled.
When emotions were dulled by their loss, a Wizard's way of doing things changed slightly.
Therefore, the Emotional Self-Sealing Art had to be carefully calibrated. If the seal was too strong, it could actually become a danger to a Wizard.
Emotions dulled too much could turn a White Wizard into a Black Wizard who recognized none of his own kin.
In the laboratory, countless densely packed, multicolored runes appeared across Green's body.
The runes circled him, constantly swirling and drifting. Green looked at them, a strange glimmer passing through his eyes.
These runes held a portion of his emotions; they were the tangible manifestation of his feelings.
Once these runes fell under the self-seal, the threshold of some of his emotions would be lowered. In concrete terms, his limits for happiness and pain would rise, and things that once stirred his heart would no longer affect him.
"Whew!" He let out a deep breath and made up his mind.
Green slowly raised his right hand. An invisible force of attraction emanated from the back of it.
The runes that held his emotions gathered under that force, converging on the back of his right hand to form a multicolored Möbius Ring.
