Oddly enough, he didn't really feel like he had learned anything new. Rather, it felt like he was just connecting things he never had before, binding them together in new and exciting ways.
And that shed light on something that he would need very soon... A Natural Force Art.
There was a great amount of overlap between creating a Force Art capable of triggering certain factors in the environment and one that could elicit Auspicious Air.
The only real bridge he had to form was turning the environments he was creating for his Crafts into a Craft that wasn't acting against the world, but instead... with it.
And honestly, that was easier said than done.
"What did it mean to create such a Force Art? Did he have to grasp all the Forces in the world? Did he only have to grasp one? And in the case that it was just one, how powerful would it have to be?"
"It felt like a Force Art of that level would have to at least be at the stage of the Creation State. How else would it force the creation of Auspicious Air?"
"But that also didn't make sense to Leonel."
"The first Natural Force Art he had come across had been in the Camelot Zone, created by a man named Merlin. It had been greatly beneficial to him in the past, but it was ultimately just of the Fourth Dimension, so he had left it far behind over time."
"It was hard for him to believe that a Fourth Dimensional anything could be formed of a Creation State Force. It was wholly incompatible and didn't make sense."
"Beyond that, he had gained a lot of understanding of the world since then. He knew that the Force Art wasn't built based off of just a single Force, but it was something deeper than that, something more magical."
"It was said that Spatial Force users were extremely dangerous. They were the only specific Force type that all powers actively guarded against."
"The ban on Dream Force that Caspian tried to trigger was something all too common to Spatial Force users. Something that was interesting because Dream Force was just as dangerous, and even more so in many ways."
"The difference between the two, though, was that Dream Force manipulation on a high enough scale couldn't be stopped, and yet, at the same time... it was the easiest to stop."
"Anyone could put up defenses against Dream Force if their Force Manipulation was high enough, but no one could stop a mass murderer from suddenly teleporting into your home unless you were likewise a Force Art expert."
"And then Leonel suddenly remembered."
"'Dream Force is rooted in the Second Dimension because it represents not life itself, but the impetus of it, the chance at life, the potential for it...'"
"He had forgotten something that was extremely key to all of this..."
"In a lot of ways, Dream Force was all Forces, just in a different form. It wasn't the Forces themselves, but rather the idea of them, almost like a bookmark of their definitions, ready to be spread out into the wider world..."
"In that case, if Neutral Force was only the amalgamation of many Forces and not necessarily them all... and Dream Force was almost the rolodex or library of Forces and what they were or could become..."
"Then why did Emulation Spatial Force need Spatial Force at all?"
"'As a bridge...' Leonel suddenly thought."
"A bridge from the Second Dimension to the higher Dimensions? Maybe... or was it even more general than that, a simple root to reality itself... laying claim to what Dream Force could not alone..."
