From his gains, the first thing Atticus noted, aside from the breakthroughs in his elemental paths, was a shift in another vital aspect of his power.
The spirit element.
But unlike his elemental advancements, he hadn't increased its level. No, what had changed was its mastery.
He had broken into the second fold.
'Integration.'
From Ozeorth's memories, Atticus had learned that to reach this fold, one had to master awareness, to demonstrate unwavering clarity and alignment with one's purpose.
It was this alignment that granted access to deeper spiritual abilities. His perception of truth had sharpened, and the mastery of his spiritual eye had evolved. Now, he could peer into the souls of even more powerful beings.
'This had been useful with that Zorvan.'
In his battle with Xal'zereth, just as the Zorvan had suspected, Atticus hadn't used his Auralithian fire sight to win. He wasn't seeing the future.
Instead, he had been using his spiritual eye, targeting his weaknesses.
No matter how flawless Xal'zereth's movements appeared, they still held flaws… and Atticus exploited them completely.
