"Our eternal source of energy, the Sunwell, originated from a vial of water from the Well of Eternity. This wondrous Titan-forged creation radiates arcane and natural energy. Thanks to the wonders of Titan facilities, we can use Arcane Mimicry to wield all manner of other energies, such as the four elements of water, fire, wind, and earth."
"But beyond these few common energies, are there energies of an even higher order? The answer is yes. Mages of the School of Conjuration can freely tear open space and wield spatial power; the School of Divination can turn back time and peer into its mysteries; the School of Evocation can control magical energy, creating matter seemingly out of nothing; the School of Illusion cultivates the power of one's own soul to gain control over other souls."
"These four arcane schools each correspond to one of four applications of higher-order energy: space, time, quintessence, and soul. As your spellcasting level rises, you will no longer need arcane power to simulate higher-order energy, but will instead wield that energy directly."
"However, we discovered another method that lowers the requirements for directly wielding the highest-order energies. That is what we call energy level ascension."
"By gathering and channeling large quantities of lower-order energy, then causing their energy levels to ascend, we can obtain some higher-order energy and begin to understand the mysteries of this world's highest-order energies."
"Likewise, applying energy level reduction to a portion of higher-order energy will produce a large quantity of lower-order energy."
With that, the elf's phantom appeared once more, gathering pure blue arcane energy in his hands. Slowly, the blue light began to turn white, and the arcane orb in his hands transformed into a spatial orb. Patrick could clearly see the powerful fluctuations of spatial power radiating from it.
