Saleen knew there was no hope of advancing in just a month, so he began working on his family badge. He started to write magic inscriptions on the surface using power of the soul, which gradually resonated with the badge's material.
It was a very silly way of going about this. Then again, the secret arts clearly stated that until one's power of the soul advanced to the level of being able to materialize and kill while away from one's body, one could not use the strongest method to work on anything. Simply stated, because his soul was still lacking in power, Saleen would have died had his soul left his body.
All esoteric information finally started to unravel once Saleen undertook this project.
The badge's original form was a book written with lines of lightning-magic chants, which required the power of the soul to be invoked.
