I forgot about those Tainted Shards. There's a reason it's called the Tainted Temple. It seems a special type of energy is needed to form it

'Unlike the Spirit Shards

this one was nearly 3 times the size. Furthermore

Apollo could feel energy similar to the Demonic Anima coursing throughout it. It wasn't long before he understood this was an energy that liberated the mind.'

''Is this something similar to the Spiritual Essence? If so

perhaps I'll be able to achieve this level early but then again

this is only relative. When in comparison to those others

then I'm lacking. After all

from Sapphyr's words

I'm willing to bet the youths of the higher families have already entered that stage.''
