Fenrir continued to teach us more.
"Today, I will be teaching you more about the Active State Of A Sigil. To be specific, we will be studying how the Joints of a Sigil function" Fenrir said.
"You said the Joints of a Sigil determine its evolution from a unicellular to a multicellular organism and that they determine its precision as well as the vastness of its applications" I recalled.
"Have you all heard about the Seven Predominant Classes Of Sigils?" Fenrir asked.
"The Individual, Family, Tribal, Organizational, National, World and Universal Classes right? My parents taught us a bit about them" I said.
"Well, you've listed the Classes in ascending order of magnitude, scale and power. Each of these Classes have their strengths determined by the number of people involved in summoning and maintaining the Sigil. For multiple people to maintain a single sigil also requires the application of Joints thus you could say the number of Joints in the Sigil determines the strength of each Class" Fenrir said. "Individual Class Sigils in their Active States manifest the Elemental Affinity Of The Dream Knight. Depending on the nature of the Sigil, it may develop a framework quite similar to that of the Human Skeleton and Nervous System. This allows the Dream Knight to coordinate and utilize the functions of the Sigil as an extension of their own bodies. I've already explained that a Sigil is bonded telepathically to the Dream Knight who summoned it" Fenrir explained.
We listened closely.
"Now with each Sigil Class above the Individual Class, the Joints of the Sigil are determined both by the Elemental Affinity Of The Dream Knight as well as their Ideal. When multiple Dream Knights possess Sigils that have compatible affinities, they become able to establish Joints between their Sigils via these compatible affinities. This allows the Sigil of one Dream Knight to act as an Amplifier for the Sigil of another Dream Knight. For instance, San's Cape is made of Fire. He's currently incapable of drawing out all its latent potential. Concordia's arrows are coordinated when Concordia telekinetically manipulates the Wind surrounding her arrows especially with regards to her Dream Realm Border Wall Defense Mode. If San and Concordia were to fuse abilities via their compatible Wind and Fire affinities, a Joint established between San's Cape and Concordia's Arrows would give her arrows a fiery nature granting both San and Concordia the ability to utilize the 'Fire Volley Technique'"Fenrir explained.
"Whoa! So that's how Elemental Joints work huh?" I realized.
"Exactly. However Elemental Affinities are not the only way through which Dream Knights can establish joints between their Sigils. This can also be achieved via their Ideal especially if their Ideals are compatible" Fenrir explained.
"Can something as abstract as an Ideal really enhance the physical ability of two Dream Knights with different Sigils?" Ciella asked with genuine curiousity.
Fenrir smiled.
"You're still quite new to the world of Dream Knights aren't you Ciella? Well to answer your question, this is possible. Arlene's Ideal for instance revolves around 'Efficient Multitasking'. Her Sigil for instance allows her to view and manage data coming in from multiple sources and locations depending on where or to whom she assigns a mini-representation of her Sigil. This ability increases the range of her Vision. Concordia's Ideal on the other hand revolves around 'Range', 'Scale' or simply put 'Magnitude'. This allows her to generate almost countless numbers of her Arrows especially with her Dream Realm Border Wall Defense Mode. This Magnitude also grants her the ability to down a large number of adversaries in virtually an instant. When Arlene's 'Efficient Multitasking' Ideal is fused with Concordia's 'Magnitude' Ideal, Arlene inherits Concordia's Range and Concordia inherits Arlene's Wide Vision granting them the ability to utilize Christopher and Kraken Andromeda's 'Coordinated Assault Mode'. Simply put, Concordia becomes able to down any target within Arlene's field of Vision regardless of her location and the distance between herself and the target" Fenrir explained.
Ciella's eyes widened in astonishment. Then she smiled.
"Sigils are even cooler than I initially gave them credit for" she admitted.
"I know right?" I said with a laugh.
