Biting his tongue and then smearing the blood across the chords of the musical instrument, Leon plays the blood soaked strings to evoke a melody that resonates within the essence of the universe. Calling to it's distant will, and in doing so imparting a tangible level of power Leon is incapable of on his own. This essence binds itself to Leon's magic, and then flows into his illusions granting physical form to his illusions.
The art of illusions. To control the senses and manifest something that appears to be real, or to warp the world to create the facsimile of something real. What difference is there truly in such a act from creating? The answers lies in that it is only the degree to which one is able to enforce their will. In divinity, the power to do such becomes more evident every day, and now Leon's illusions are no longer merely as such so long as he is willing to commit his essence to it's creation. Though Leon can't help but ask as he becomes more in tune with this, is this truly what it feels to be divine? Because so much of this seems alien and not of himself.
