Smiling, he tapped the "+" sign again, trying to push his saturation rate even higher.
As expected, even after spending 100 merits, there was no change.
Opening the runic panel for a more precise reading, the result was the same:
[Void Saturation: 100.000…]
Fortunately, the merits weren't completely wasted. Some of the void energy had been redirected and concentrated into his eyes.
"Seems like I can't take a shortcut…"
He hadn't fully believed the claim that one couldn't increase saturation past 100% without an astral art.
But after spending 100 merits to experiment, reality hit him hard.
Increasing the saturation rate beyond 100% was like pouring water into a glass that was already full.
No matter how hard one trained, without the right technique, void energy would simply overflow and be wasted.
Unable to go further by brute force, Nash pulled out the astral art he'd bought from the Star Tower.
