Kayden saw Shadow grasp a fundamental law after several tens of millions of years of effort. This was something completely insane, as this kind of law was something that only a minuscule portion of the mage society would be able to grasp—only the true elite could reach that level, and yet he had managed to do it.
Just like Kayden had gone through a reality shock early in his life when he realized that mana was just a path but not the answer to everything, he was going through that now—the laws were a path, not an answer.
There were dozens of laws capable of generating the same result, even though they were different things, and this could probably be expanded to every sense. All the laws already had something set. All laws were already framed within the universal systems and were part of a pillar.
