'He's not affected by the elements,' Nex's realization came with a frown. He couldn't understand it.
On Vortharion, everything was done with mana. There were no exceptions. Whether it was controlling or manifesting the elements, it was always tied to mana.
That was what made this situation so confusing. He hadn't felt anything. The little pup hadn't tried to take over the mana in his attack. The attack had reached him, and yet, Nex had still seen the elements obey his call.
But he was sure of it, no mana was used. Which all boiled down to one conclusion:
He could control the elements without using mana.
Nex's conclusion came with action. He suddenly pointed his arm at Noctis, and the air turned heavy. An orb of mana began to gather in front of his palm.
The expressions of the Eldorians shifted, many narrowing their eyes. They, more than anyone else, understood Atticus' power, so they understood Noctis'.
