The flow of Aura through Leo's body gradually became smoother the longer he focused on controlling it. The earlier instability slowly settled down as the energy circulated repeatedly through his branches, though the process remained mentally exhausting. Small traces of Aura moved beneath his skin in thin streams while he adjusted the flow carefully to reduce unnecessary waste during circulation.
Most newly awakened Aura Farmers simply pushed Aura through their bodies forcefully and called it training. That method worked early on because the body naturally adapted after repeated usage, but it also created terrible habits later. Poor circulation meant poor efficiency and poor efficiency meant death during longer battles.
Leo understood that much already.
The difference between surviving one fight and surviving ten consecutive fights often depended entirely on how well an Aura Farmer managed their reserves. The stronger the Vestige, the worse that problem became.
