"Why do you need to understand a Law to become a Transcendent?" Kyle asked.
"Because you are undergoing a rebirth," Theodor answered. "Your fundamental being changes when you become a Transcendent. For example, you can't differentiate a Transcendent's power by the usual Initial, Early, Mid, Late, and Peak levels. It's completely different."
"Wait, so, there are no more power differences in terms of Ether?" Kyle asked.
"No, those still apply, but you do not grow more powerful just by absorbing Ether. You still gather more Ether, but your true power is the Ether around you."
"As a Transcendent, you can control the Ether in your surroundings. In essence, you are borrowing the Ether of the world and using it as your own. The Ether in your Center is just being used as a controlling force that manipulates the Ether around you."
"The difference in Ether you have access to as a new Transcendent is over 20 times more than what a Peak Expert has access to."
