The reason why it was the 3rd technique Romulus taught Kahn was because it was heavily dependent on the first two techniques. Kahn needed to master Harnessing to greatly saturate and stack world energy to a degree that even his simplest attack or skill would be 5 times more effective than its maximum potential. Conceptualization was needed to increase his mental fortitude and control over both world energy and elemental mastery. So he could summon these creatures and change their elements at will just like he did it with his weapons. Thanks to Vildred, Kahn had 100% affinity to all elements in the world at this point. After learning the results, Romulus tweaked the technique to fit Kahn and used a different approach for Embodiment in a way that would best suit Kahn. But what Kahn didnʼt know was that his master wasnʼt just making random alternatives but something even he himself as the main subject couldnʼt anticipate. And the biggest factor was… Kahnʼs bloodlines. Because Kahn possessed multiple bloodlines and had some purity of high tier, Romulus created a technique that would help him utilize those bloodlines in this combat technique. Romulus said back then… ”There is a particular empire where their saints use a different but somewhat similar method of this combat technique. Since they canʼt turn into their primal forms like us True Descendants and not everyone is a summoner class with mastery over various elements… What they do is use their own elemental affinity and world energy to materialize a spectral form.” he revealed to Kahn inside the training realm. ”They use their bloodline to shape that spectral form into a bestial form based on their bloodlines which are correlated to their ancestors and the monster species they are from. For example, a normal-looking human saint could use his wind elemental world energy and summon the form of a flying monster or a bird that his bloodline has traces of. By no means theyʼre Beastkins or True Descendants, the bloodline itself is thinned into their lineage to the point that it doesnʼt even affect their auras or any physical features to make them look distinct from other humans. But by using this technique, they can harness that dormant bloodline temporarily to assume such forms and fight as if they were those monsters themselves.” he explained solemnly. ”Like someone is looks like a human but turns into a werewolf made of mana if he has the bloodline?” asked Kahn ”Correct. But instead of turning into a monster themselves, they can use their world energy as a medium to bring out the latent bloodline and shape it to use it for combat.” iterated Romulus. ”I see. But how does it help me?” questioned Kahn.
