Guys, Cales group has no fucking clue what his ancient powers do.
I mean, they have an idea, but some of them it’s out the window.
They all know he has a healing power. Well, maybe not all of them, because he’s never gone around publicizing it-
But the few that do know, know that it stopped him from blowing up when his powers were imbalanced, so it’s pretty impressive
But they don’t know the extent of the healing. I mean, it’s really confusing when your commander coughs up blood while he has a power that’s actively healing him. It’s like, damn is it selective healing or something?
But that makes Cales information about it even worse, because Cale knows he could grow back a few limbs, that he can go without food, water, and sleep for like 3 weeks, but those aren’t things that come to mind when you think about a healing power
If someone tells me: healing power- I’m not going to assume that includes not sleeping and feeling fine. Hell, I wouldn’t even assume limb regeneration, that’s strong as hell!
But when he’s coughing up blood, that doesn’t automatically equate to healing.
His shield ancient power. It can grow trees for some reason?? Or maybe that’s just a whole different power entirely, they just don’t fucking know-
Also what does his water ancient power do? He had that one power a while ago where he was just generating water, but now, he has a water spear. That’s the same power, right? Or no? Maybe it’s 3, we’ll never know
The wind ancient power, he can create whirlwinds with that, but can it do something else? Probably, we don’t know, every other power seems to have 2 or more uses-
The fire ancient power, holy shit it’s just lightning- and why can it purify dead mana? It’s like “dead mana is very dangerous, and can only be purified by priests from the church of the sun god, dark elves, necromancers, and this random ass ancient power that gets stronger from burning money” LIKE HUH?!!??!
But that just adds to Cale’s image, like omg he can destroy dead mana, he’s so amazing
But then you think about it and it’s like “wtf do his powers even do”
Like does he have to talk to the wind to use his powers or something? Cause he does that sometimes, and we don’t fucking know
What about his rock ancient power? What even is that?! That’s literally just artillery- it’s a thousand stone spears, that is terrifying. And then it’s just like “wait what do you mean it asks Cale if he wants to sacrifice himself” and “WHY DOES CALE SAY YES???? WHAT THE FU-”
They’re just guessing at this point, and if one day, Cale says “I can kill god” everyone will just nod like “yup, that checks out”
