The first three markers glowed with a permanent silver light.
He owned Architectural Inscription.
He mastered Soul Resonance.
He secured Bond Forging.

He needed to figure out the exact psychological trigger for the fourth.
He opened a heavy leather-bound book he pulled from the underground library.
He read the uncensored description of the fourth Forbidden Gift.
