“Dismantling a Perfect One’s power…. You’re up to something crazy again."0

Acquiring and dismantling either the power of a Perfect One or a skill sounded similar, but in truth, they were completely opposite processes.0

Acquisition meant accepting the fundamental framework and building upon it to make it one’s own. Dismantling, however, meant tearing down that very framework instead for the sake of analyzing it.0
