Barlo slightly adjusted his phrasing, "...are not just humans, but all beings. At the moment of their birth into this world, the essence of spirit within them is at its fullest."
He paused, ensuring his words were well understood, "But as they grow, the spiritual essence within their bodies gradually mixes with the impure airs of the world, transforming into what we call 'Spiricontam.'"
Owen, stroking his chin in thought, summarized, "'Spiricontam' then, is a mix of spiritual essence and these impurities, a symbol of chaos, isn't it?"
"You're quite right," Barlo snapped his fingers and grinned broadly, "Your Highness is indeed astute. The formulation of rules demands a vast amount of energy, and this chaotic 'Spiricontam' energy is a crucial component in the deduction of those rules. It is this very power that the deities covet."
