Phase 2?

Basically, reaching the realm of a Grandmaster greatly expands what one can do.

Put simply, the body changes so it can exceed its physical limits, and one's mana increases tremendously.

The Aura Blades forged from that overwhelming mana and skill are beyond comparison with a Master's, and their Spiritual Abilities surpass Authorities in power, becoming something greater still.

You could also say they get luckier.

Becoming a Grandmaster means being chosen by the world.

That alone turns fate in their favor, making it feel as if the world itself is moving for them.

Of course, there are exceptions: like the head of a certain Grand Ducal House whose daughter ran away from home, or the leader of a certain religion with abysmal luck when it comes to people.

In any case, Grandmasters are blessed with incredible abilities.

But what about Ian and Plia, who share that power between them?

The answer is that they become twice as strong...
