It was easy to tell how much of a powerhouse Ber truly was at only a single glance. Her ATT stats were possibly the highest of any Moon yet, and this didnât take into account the stats of her Corrupted form â The Black Swan.

Her stats were significantly higher from when she was just the âElectric Clawâ. Ber was already strong then, but now she was nigh unstoppable, as far as Moons could go. Eternal Night Corrupted could be tackled head on solo with minimal risk.
However, as strong as Ber was, it did not change the monstrous power of the Woe of the Fallen Star Corrupted. Never mind Apocalypse⦠and dare they even conceive of one ranking amongst the forsaken Paradise Lost Risk Class.
Frost gulped, her body vividly remembering the overwhelming aura of the Icon of Judgement; an entity that not even the Arbiter could hold a candle to. Amongst all the miracles of the world, the defeat of the Icon of Judgement was the most important of all.
One thing to note about Ber and Ignis â or anyone that reached either the Blessed or non-Blessed level limits, was that there was virtually no more room for further growth. Leveling up was also a gamble, for it was the Nexus that decided what Skills and Professions one received.
This was the curse of the Blessed.
A limitation that prevented them from deviating too far from what they were poised to become, rather than what they wanted to become. Still, it didnât change the unmatched power the Blessed possessed in relation to the greater part of the world, who required complex understanding of magic whereas the Blessed could simply âinvokeâ their gifted powers like it was just a game.
Frost wondered what prevented people from levelling further. How magical affinities were granted to begin with, and if they perhaps had any relation to the Corrupted Affinities in some capacity.
Why did this matter in the first place?
It was simple â the Corrupted Personas and Skills allowed maximum levelled individuals to soar to even greater heights. Corrupted Personas were the cheat code to bypass these limitations, and consequently, they possessed major drawbacks if handled poorly.
Otherwise known as âInstabilityâ.
The Black Swan
CORRUPTION
As usual, the âeffectsâ of the Corrupted Skills were quite vague.
From this list only two skills could be taken at a time whenever her emotions reached a new State. The difference between her and Ignis was that Ignis could use her Corrupted Skills at any moment, whereas Ber had to fulfil an invisible emotional meter.
However, in Ignisâ case, in order to use the Iron Candleâs skills, she had to increase her emotional state. Nav speculated that there was a possibility of also manifesting it further down the line, although likely not as potent as Berâs.
It all depended on compatibility. Whatever that actually meant. In any case, Corrupted Skills were a force to be reckoned with, and Frost believed it would be whatâll separate Moons under her command from those belonging to the Ateliers.
Indeed.
Frost considered the possibility of equipping Moons with Corrupted Personas.
There was little else to note of Berâs stats and abilities, aside from one peculiar Ability.
What a strange Abilityâ¦
