[A/N: This bonus chapter is all because of Azdal!!!]
——
Creating an element was different from manipulating something that already existed.
A demon with Fire affinity could form a fireball without having a flame nearby. Someone with Ice affinity could create an ice spear even while standing in a desert.
But doing so required more demonic energy, better control, more mental energy, and a high enough affinity.
The weaker the affinity, the more difficult it became. Drawing water from a river was much easier than creating enough to fill one.
Earth users rarely bothered with creation.
There was almost always solid ground nearby. Even above a sea, their first instinct would be to reach toward the seabed and manipulate the rocks beneath the water.
Simon understood that instinct. He possessed the affinity himself.
Why create a stone when there were dozens beneath his feet?
He rolled Sonya's sphere between his fingers.
