Waking up, he could feel the throb of a headache behind his “eyes”, What happened? Bringing up his status he could see what happened right away. His mana was only at 1/?, the ability had taken all his mana to cast. Well damn, how long was I out for. Wish I had a clock, looking over his status page he came to his regens.
.05 hr, it has taken me 20 hours to regain 1 point of mana and it did even get anything from it. He wanted to smash something or weep, but without eyes or hands all he could do was mentally sigh. Going over the use he went step by step and it only dawned on him to check the ability again.
[Absorb Lvl 1] Breakdown objects or materials for a change to absorb traits of the target on touch. Does not work on living creatures. Current mana cost 5 (current 2 % of success at Lvl 1 chance of trait gain) *Racial Bonus- Bone currently heals damage to body.
There it was absorbs “on touch”, how was he supposed to reach anything with no limbs. Well I can see a at least the area around me using [Mana sight], maybe I could use it like a fishing line? Concentrating on his inner spark of mana, he threw tendrils of cyan thread from inside towards the fragment of what looked like bone. His conscience wavered from the effort, and he quickly checked his status page.
1/? , at first he thought he was confused thinking he hadn’t used any mana, but realized he had lucked out and waited enough for a second point of mana to be regened.
Skill gained! [Mana Tentacle] Lvl 1, 1 mana a Tentacle at current level.
Checking his status, it looked like he had lucked and had managed to regen a mana point. Canceling the tentacle to his pleasant surprise he regained the mana. Ok quick recap, I need 1 point of mana to remain awake. If I cancel the mana tentacle it doesn’t use up my mana. But using absorb uses all my mana and knocks me out. So using his [Mana Tentacle], he wrapped around the fragment near his own and pulled. It slowly slid along the floor till with a bump it gently knocked against his fragment. Holy crap, I think I felt that!
Taking a deep breath, He hunkered down for a wait before realizing that absorb worked on touch maybe multiple objects could be counted as one if there all touching. And with each point of mana taking a full 24 hours I’ve got plenty of time. So with the one tentacle he pulled himself around mapping out the room and pulling all the bone and bone scraps into one pile.
Mentally exhausted he sat in the bone pile waiting for time to run out and gave him a chance to go over all that had happened, realizing that he felt better now that he had something to do. Time to form a plan, get my mass up, get out of this place, and take care of that asshole. Suddenly there was a shifting of the bone that caused him to vibrate.

Crap I think somethings here, and a feather would be enough to Kill me. Activating [Mana Sight}, all he could see was a huge snout pushing around the bone scraps. Its breath along moving things around. He waited terrified as the thing moved the bones around looking for something. With a growl that shook the whole room, the creature left. Taking stock, his mana was maxed making him ready to try absorb again. Well it feels wrong to not have a name so how about Vanth? Checking his Status, it now listed Vanth as his name.
Well here goes nothing, He activated [Absorb]
Success! Absorbed 4 pounds of bone, Reconstructing…
I really don’t like the sound of that, He though before being hit with a wave of intense pain and passing out again. Waking up gave Vanth a surprise, I can see, and not using {Mana Sight]! Thought tilted on his side Vanth could see the room from the floor, bits of wood, metal, and other objects littered the floor. Weirdly he couldn’t seem to blink or close his eyes. Taking stock, he felt heavier, and while still not having arms or legs he was able to move something behind himself.
What am I, a snake now? Moving the limb behind, he was able to right himself with the use of his lower jaw. Using [Mana Sight] he looked himself over What the Status

He was a skull covered in dim cyan colored flame, He appeared to have a snout on the end as well as four vertebra hanging from the back of his “neck”. Well it looks like I’m not human anymore. Large teeth, like those of a predator filled him mouth. It looked like [Absorb] had done its work and repaired the fragment that was his body. My stats have improved, It must be from repairing my fragment, maybe naming myself shows I’m getting over the trauma some? Either way he had taken steps forward to his goals Also I now have enough mana to use absorb without passing out. Laying on the ground Vanth could see a few nearly undamaged items laying on the ground.
There was a ring, a dagger, and strangely decorated bag. Let’s go check these out.
