The roots dug into my core and began interacting with the mana inside. I could feel my core cracking, leaking mana from the inside. Both my mana and my core felt as if they were fusing with the roots.
It was an excruciating process that sent a ripple of pain through my entire body. It felt as if every cell inside my body were being ripped to pieces and then put back together, except differently from how it first was.
I fought with the things inside of me, trying my best to force them out with mana, but with every damage inflicted to this parasite, it felt as if I were hurting myself, and soon a cold, emotionless voice rang inside my head, and a screen popped up in front of me.
[Congratulations. Special Item Acquired: Celestial Seed!]
[Description: Celestial root increases the mana capacity of them, acting as a sort of a bank.] In exchange they take a small portion of this mana as payment and protect their host in times of danger. Celestial root also refines the host's mana pool.
