Valmus stared at the light falling from the Shadow Core that seeped into the flesh of the stone creature, making it shine with dark radiance. Wisps of shadowy mist emanated from beneath her impervious plate armor, slowly merging with it. It looked as though the Stone Saint was engulfed in ghostly black flame, being remade by it.

Beneath the surface, the essence of the Echo was being changed as well, in a way much more fundamental than its outer appearance.
