The Aspect of Essence (The Aelfyn Archives, #1)

by Samantha Amstutz

It didn’t surprise him there was an absence of documented research pertaining to coercion. But that makes sense since the king is the only one who can manipulate telepathy to such an extent and exert that level of control over others. Jassyn shifted his leathers to scratch the skin on his shoulder that twinged from the thought. The monarch’s heightened abilities only reinforced his status as the ruler of the realm. But what he couldn’t understand was why the magnitude of the king’s power increased over time. That’s not how Essence works. Wells can be stretched to accommodate a greater depth of magic to draw from, but a larger reservoir doesn’t augment magical strength or aptitude—strength is typically relative to the number of abilities we have. The king’s aura was simply more powerful each instance Jassyn was in his presence. As few as those were. I’ll just have to add this to the list of unsolved mysteries.

Does he take other elves abilities making them wraiths? Did Aesar find out and thats why his father fucked with his essence making him part wraith
