There was still one last experiment to test. Namely, to check if the Blood Energy stored in these rings were processed differently by his body when he transferred it back to himself.
To be sure, Ikaris reabsorbed in his own body 5 of the 11.7 points stored in his Blood Energy Sublimation Ring. Logically, he expected his Blood Energy gauge to read 6.1/10.
That was not what happened.
[Blood Energy: 4.6/10 points]
Although the Blood Energy stored in his ring was accounted for in some way, his body was obviously making a difference. Adjusting his System and Appraisal Spells, he managed to get the interface of his Blood Energy Sublimation Ring to display an additional data.
[Grade 0 Blood Energy (46%): 6.7/1000 points]
