I hovered in midair, nearly ten feet above the stone platform, standing on a step of compressed space.
The air beneath me shimmered faintly, though only I could see the distortion. My thoughts turned to the new passive skill I'd gained when my class evolved—Equivalence Clause, part of the Absolute Domain.
[Equivalence Clause (Passive)]:
Within the Absolute Domain, your will may shape reality directly. But when comprehension falters, price must fill the gap. An equivalent sacrifice is required—something of related meaning, scale, or function. The sacrificed rule is suppressed across the domain for the duration, fueling your command. Failure to offer valid equivalence causes the command to collapse.
When my class updated, some of its meaning had been passed directly into my mind. Not a full explanation, but enough for me to understand the basics.
I decided now was the time to test it.
