While an Awakened individual’s core will still grow naturally as they age, an Awakened human can hasten and continue the development of their core past the age of 20 by using Accumulation.
The cores of Awakened individuals develop differently. The Awakening process can be quite hazardous and individuals with a cyan or higher core risk losing their lives, with bright blue and violet cores being extremely rare and difficult to obtain except through Guardians who can easily guarantee success. Phillard, Tista Verhen, Reaper, Lifebringer, Sentinel, Phloria Ernas Since Awakened ones have a long life, only after a century is the bond between master and apprentice considered broken. If their disciple breaks any law, the Awakened pays the consequences along with them. Awakened are responsible for those they share their secret with. The law is very strict, as Awakened can't Awaken their own children if they aren't willing to put their lives on the line for them. Just like humans, beasts too don't spread the secret of Awakening unless it's strictly necessary, to keep the balance among the races. 4.4.1 Mixing Spirit Magic With Elements.Undead Awakened have a much harder time refining their cores since blood cores are faulty - they absorb most of the light element, so Accumulation is very slow. īlue cores are the cap for most Awakened not everyone reaches the violet core. In the Awakened community, having children is one of the ways to keep ties with a world that becomes more alien to them by the decade. Due to long lifespans, however, most of the oldest Awakened ones end up isolating themselves. If all mankind turned into Awakened, having children would eventually become a crime, and population culls would be needed time to time.

Awakened can manipulate their own mana cores, allowing them to use magic the same way magical beasts do, guiding it with the mind instead of the body, but also making possible to refine the mana core, drawing in the world energy and permanently adding it to their own. At that point, the core becomes "awakened" from its dormant state and produces a mana flow that gets stronger over time along with the core, producing the effects of body refinement. Awakening is the process of feeling world energy and actively letting it flow to one's mana core.
