The physical characteristics of the original five matches the color of their auras. Iode wonders if this is as a result of their magic powers. He turned away from the hologram statues and turned to the large purple orb emanating strong mana.
Just below the orb was written 'Touch to gain insight'.
"Insight huh". Iode said as he placed his hands on the orb.
Iode could feel himself get sucked into the orb. He found himself in a dark expense, floating upon nothing. Below him was a large expanse of sea which he assumes to be 'mana pool'.
Mana pool is the amount of mana present in the mana vessel. "whoa". Iode exclaimated, mesmerized by the sight. But what does seeing a sea of mana teach him, what insight does it gives. Then suddenly a bright blinding light shone from the horizon.
Iode covered his eyes as the light temporary blinded him. After some seconds passed, he opened his eyes to his surprise he saw someone right in front of him. The person who stood before him looked exactly like the man in the hologram statues who stood at the middle of the original five, the creator of the purple tower as well as the predecessor of Iode, "Igor Zenivia".
His purple hair matching his purple eyes and elegant rope. He stood before Iode with a warm smile.
"Igor Zenivia". Iode said flabbergasted. He opened his eyes and mouth very surprised.
"It is finally time to see the successor of Igor, it is good to see you, I've been waiting for you". The man in Igor's form said.
"Wait aren't you Igor, why mention your name when you are here" Iode said confused.
"Oh wait, you are dead how are you still alive, are you some kind of spirit he left behind "? Iode said.
"No successor, I'm just an imaginative manifestation of him, left to give knowledge to whoever is worthy of it and to also guide his successor ". He said.
"Oh, so you are like a clone ". Iode said.
"Yes" Igor's clone nodded.
"If that's the case, there's no need to spend eternity searching for answers to my questions". Iode said.
"Questions is the way to gaining knowledge and insight, go on ask, you probably have a lot on your mind ". Igor's clone said.
Iode smiled and said:
"First, it is quite a privilege to be the successor of one of the most outstanding wizards, it such an honor"
"My first question is, Igors magic powers, why did it take so long to manifest itself in me, other successor of the original five don't take long before they know who they are ".
"There is something called individual difference's, the magic power was dormant in you because there wasn't any situation to trigger it, each and every successor of the original five had a situation that led to the triggering to their magic powers". Igor's clone said.
Iode paused for a second, he remembered that his will not to give up on beating the Devastator in the mid semester test not only made him level up in stars by two but he was also able to cast more spells, advanced level ones at that. That must the time when Igor's magic powers in him awakened.
"Okay, I've gotten that, another question is that why is the original five magic powers different from others". Iode asked.
"The purple energy of Igor is similar to any other energies you see out there but a little different. The power was spawned as a result of a strong magic reaction caused by the magic plaque that led to the creation of the original five ". Igor clone answered.
"I already know that, infact everyone knows that ". Iode sighed then he continued.
"Look at this, why do i have a stigma, i don't recall Igor or any of the original five having one, only a few successors have them too, why do i have one".
"Stigmas are inscriptions drawn on the body to summon object, creatures or to show a connection between people, some are unique to individual and depends on the individual traits ". Igor clone said.
"There are two types of stigmas, Initiated stigmas and Enigmatic stigmas. Initiated stigmas are made by someone who have high knowledge and high affinity for magic and are made by people of this world aka mortals".
"Enigmatic stigmas are the ones where how their existence came to be is a bit foggy but they can be seen on the body. Enigmatic stigmas are thought to have come from outwardly beings like Celestials. The presence of such stigmas shows their connection to them ".
"..."
"I didn't ask that question for a lecture on stigmas, i asked why it appears on me and not Igor ". Iode said unsatisfied with Igor's clone explanation.
"I'm wasn't done talking". Igor's clone said.
"Your stigma is an Enigmatic stigma, to be exact your stigma is the Emblem of Valier. Igor and other members of the original five also possess it". Igor clone said.
"Huh wait, my stigma is an Enigmatic stigma and it is the Emblem of Valier, what is that, wait, does this mean I'm connected to a celestial". Iode asked.
"Since you are the successor of Igor, it is safe to say that you are indeed connected to a celestial ". Igor's clone said
"What "Iode said stunned.
