With a perfect soul and body, it was now time to forge the skills that could drive this body. There were only fourteen minutes left, and four operations I considered to be necessary… the rest would be sorted out later.
I began with Soul-Forge and Inscription. Inscription was the highest skill he had, and Soul-Forge was the furnace in the shell. It consumes and rebuilds, and if I did not have pure Celestial Essence to work with, then I would have had to find a way to access this power, or else even creating a new shell would have been impossible.
Elric's Celestial Body needed something more powerful to edit his flesh and process Transcendental-grade materials, and these two skills would work hand in hand for that purpose.
Soul-Forge was the skill that had allowed him to harvest the essences of demons, to feed Cor Telluris, to grow stronger with every kill. Inscription was the language of reality itself, the Scripts that altered the world with a stroke of the pen.
