Contrary to what most people imagine, the cores of water-attribute magical beasts are not cool like frost and snow.
On the contrary, if a magical beast can manipulate the three states of ice, water, and fog, its core must be incredibly hot, appearing in thermal imaging as bright as a small sun.
For it is by gathering the heat extracted from their water element origin substance that water-attribute magical beasts can create ice out of thin air, using the accumulated heat to vaporize water and disperse fog.
Just like Ian's Minor Abyssal Jade, this sublimation structure adjacent to his heart, primordial seed, and ancient dragon heart core and located at his collarbone, emits a high temperature when activated, causing it to glow a bright cyan blue.
But it is precisely for this reason that mist envelops the young man's side.
