Aksai studied the spell more carefully, intrigued by its ability to build up gradually without the target noticing right away.
It was subtle and dangerous—the kind of spell that could cripple an enemy mid-fight or leave them vulnerable during cultivation.
These Spirit spells were especially useful for the fiends who had infiltrated the Iron Mountain Sect. They could use them to lay traps with devastating precision.
Aksai made another mental note, saving it alongside the Blood Echo Curse.
He leaned his head a little further into Yelia's lap, letting out a soft sigh.
Yelia brushed a leaf out of his hair, watching his face with a gentle smile. "Found something interesting?"
"Oh, plenty," Aksai replied without opening his eyes. "This manual is full of cruel little tricks. The Bloodfiend manuals I got earlier also had some useful techniques I could perform alone.
But this one's special—it lets me use my puppets to do the "dirty work" while I stay far away from the conflict."
