That was all it needed to do anyway, as it was almost the ultimate defense once it got strong enough. It takes time for an aura to build up strength. There was a way to speed it up, but it required a mountain of crystals. Very few people had ever seen a mountain of crystals in their life. Forget about using it to create a single piece of armor.
Only a few organizations on the continent could afford a spirit sword or armor unless they are willing to wait decades and centuries for the blades to strengthen naturally. At the moment, Xasha had opted to leave them in mana pools for long periods of time. After 6 months, it can block the full-strength attack of a first flame lava sage. He needed more time to see what the effects will be after one or even 10 years in the mana pools.
