With a new monster core resting nicely in the palm of my hand, I do wonder if this is how all monsters are created. It just gives a whole new meaning to hatred and malice incarnated.
The dark aura that was radiating from the unconscious Marian Oxford just a moment ago feels similar to the magical essence or maybe I should say, monster essence that monsters give off when they are killed. And by absorbing that monster essence, my magical fortifies, strengthens and grows.
Since I can also absorb this malicious aura into my magical core, it probably has the same effect. That is, my magical will grow stronger as a result. However, this essence feels extremely vile in comparison to the monster essence. And absorbing it will probably corrupt me.
