Wade Looked at this majestic dot transfixed. Wide-eyed and shaking, Wade looked at his creation. Wade tentatively reached out to touch the blood. He felt a warm sensation, and the blood stayed a droplet. In his excitement, Wade let go of the power, and the droplet faded into nothing. Furrowing his brows, Wade closed his eyes again and reached for the crimson energy.
[Blood Manipulation]
Once more, a droplet appeared floating in front of Wade's figure.
{-1 Lf}
Curiosity struck Wade; focusing on the droplet, he mentally commanded the droplet to move higher into the air. To Wade's surprise, it followed the command readily. With a few nudges, Wade quickly got the droplet to do simple controls. After a minute of playing around with the droplet, Wade decided to try to get more of it out. Keeping his eyes open, Wade mentally grabbed a handful of the force flowing in his body and dragged it out.
[Blood Manipulation]
As the energy flowed out of his body, Wade saw strands of red flow out from the tips of his hand and the edges of his palm, all flowing into a single crimson blob floating at the center of his palm.
{-1 Lf}
Wade tried to do the same things with the blood as the droplet and found it came just as easily. Over the course of an hour, Wade played with his ability and experimented with his power. Wade found that using his power drained LF: The longer he maintained his blood, and the more blood he controlled, the more his resources drained. Wade could make more complicated things than blobs, but that drained LF to construct initially. When Wade Moved the blood mentally, he also drained MP. Wade could also control more than one blob at a time, but that drained his LF and MP twice as fast; also, Wade had a hard time managing more than two blobs. When Wade tried to control more than one complicated item, he found it hard to orient it as he could only position it where he wanted it. Wade could choose to leave one of his blobs floating to take better control over another blob. After all of this experimentation, Wade's LF was almost empty, and his MP was not doing too well either. Wade decided to call it a night before starting again tomorrow.
As Wade woke up, He felt pleased: while he understood his skills, he felt like a toddler who just got a new fun toy. Wade wished to do more experiments with [Blood Manipulation], but he rained his curiosity for the time being. There were other things Wade needed to test first, of course. He first wanted to try one of the subskills from the [Blood Manipulation].

Wade got up from his bed and set about his daily activities. Soon he had gotten out of his pajamas and was sitting on his couch with a warm cup of coffee and a simple breakfast sandwich. Unable to justify not exploring further into his mysterious system, Wade opened up his system screens again.
Wade looked into the page for his [Blood Manipulation] ability, focusing on [Blood telekinesis]; he found that he had unconsciously used the skill to make his blood float and move as it had when he first played with the power. Next, Wade focused on [Rending Blade]; When he looked over the steps of it, Wade found that this subskill would send a ranged slash similar to a crescent moon to a target from a distance. When he pictured the skill in his mind, Wade remembered a set of steps he could take to ideally execute that ability, like riding a bike for the first time after years of not. Wade knew the ideal amount of power to grab from within, the amount of effort he should put into sending it away, and how to give it a sharp edge. It was like a formula containing all these variables and instructions that Wade instinctively understood. Excitement burst forth from within his heart. Wade finished his breakfast and coffee and left his apartment in a hurry. Wade knew that his apartment building sat right in front of a public pool that was usually left unused due to the lack of cleaning and the frequent times resident caught animals drinking from the water. Wade quickly entered the closed area covered by brick walls covered with vines. The pool itself was slightly murky and had many small bits of branches and leaves. Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Wade took on a severe face and readied himself.
[Rending Blade]
{-5 LF, -1MP}
Wade quickly slashed his arm across the air like a claw attack; a crimson-red trail flowed from his fingertips and glided forth with speed. As the blade hit the surface of the murk, the water parted ways for the edge as it carved a path into the water about a foot deep before the water closed itself. The blade kept going until it lost momentum, dissipating into nothing. Shocked at the destructiveness of this power, Wade stumbled back, tripping on a loose branch and falling into a jagged broken stool. Wincing at the small slash on his thigh, Wade slowly got back up, holding a hand to his wound. Wade limped to a small wooden bench at the side of the pool to reflect. Wade looked at his slightly shaking hands as he processed what they just did. During most of Wade's adult life, the one thing he lacked and wished for most was control. Control over his life, over his destiny. Clenching his fists, Wade stood up, a fire burning brightly within his heart. Winsing as his legs moved, Wade was struck with an idea. Focusing on his leg, Wade tried to use the third skill and final from the [Blood Manipulation] ability.
[Regenerate]
