It was well past midnight by the time Damon finished testing his weapons and experimenting with his newly expanded mana pool. Exhaustion tugged at his body, but he forced himself to focus. Pulling out his collection of materials, he meticulously recorded what he had gathered.

Smoke bombs were a priority, especially those that could mask his scent.
