"The next step, after establishing a connection with natural mana, is learning to control it," Angelica continued explaining, her voice calm but firm.
"When you are connected to the natural mana, you are merely observing. You are feeling the mana as it flows through the world, its natural alignment. But when you begin to influence it shift it, bend it, mask yourself within it, you step into true mastery."
"Right now, I am still here," she said, "and anyone can sense me because I am disturbing this natural alignment. I am the ripple in the static pond."
"But," she said. "With my ability to control and influence the natural mana, I remove this disturbance. I control this disturbed mana to remain in their natural state. I do not let my presence or my mana to affect the natural alignment."
"You would feel as if there are no ripples, no disturbances. So, in your perception, I would become nothing. Just a seamless part of the environment."
