While continuing to experiment, Elio discovered that neon had applications beyond movement.
Testing different combinations, he noticed a particular synergy with lithium, or more specifically, with his eel.
The red color his familiar had adopted during the challenge hadn't been a coincidence. With neon's addition, the eel gained a new capability: it could fire a red ray, similar to the arc Elio had faced in the seventh level.
The energy pulsed through his familiar's body, transforming its usual electrical discharge into something more focused, more lethal.
This new ability significantly expanded his summon's offensive arsenal.
It would no longer have to chase its targets.
The wind emblem's powers also revealed interesting aspects.
Though similar in result to helium's capabilities, they operated under different principles. Where helium focused on precise vectors, wind was more... natural, less directed.
