'All five religions that existed on the continent until a few thousand years ago had a method for awakening the magical powers of the members of our race, master.' Torne answered Vicente's question, surprising him considerably.
As far as Vicente knew, only the Congregation of Revelation had the method of Awakening magical powers. That was what he and more than 90% of the population of the Seidel Kingdom knew, so he was surprised to hear that the truth wasn't that simple.
Torne continued. 'The method used in the Magic Awakening was created by a member of the elven race about 100,000 years ago. At that time, magical beings who relied on gems to awaken their full powers lived virtually hidden throughout the continent.
That was the age of the beasts, or rather, the age of the beings who formed pentagrams and didn't need the gems. They were as strong or stronger as today, and there were practically no pentagram hunters to fear.
