As I approached the [Goblins] body I used my [Psychokinesis] to move all of the [Horned Rabbits] to the side as to not distract me on my first attempt.

I found a patch of grass not tainted with blood and sat down. Slowly entering into a meditative state I wanted to get my mind in top condition so I can do this in one fell swoop!

Snapping my eyes open, all though scattered about the Goblins body started to rise into the air, I let my senses stretch out before me and enter into each part of the Goblin, there was not much left but I could still feel the blood lying dormant in various places.

I felt for the source of the Goblins strength, the blood essences which should be located in the heart.

Slowly droplets of blood started leaving the body and began accumulating right above it.

So focused on my task I hardly noticed the Goblin being drained completely of color. It's skin going from a vibrant red to now a cloudy pink color.

As the glob of dark blood floated in the air even the blood that had been spilled on the ground started to join the amalgamation.

Feeling that all the blood I could call to has gathered, all I can do is let the body drop and begin the refining process.

Hearing the plop and feeling the blood bubble float over, it was time to start the last phase.

The [Refiner] class used simply, allows you to remove impurities from a substance by allowing your magick to filter through it.

The [Refine] skill is not limited by level but by the amount of magick you have readily available.

When the amount of magick power you have at your fingertips increase you'll realize you can imbue whatever you're refining with your mana allowing it to gain effects, increase in quality, and in some cases completely give birth to a new substance.

Extending my senses once again, I covered all the blood in one go. The magick I'm channeling starts to diffuse into the bubble, I imagine a gentle but resolute wind blowing away a smog cloud. Clearing away the toxins and leaving nothing behind butt fresh spring air.

Strong mental imagery can aid in directing spells and skills so that you can increase your proficiency.

Pouring more MP into refining I could see black blood start to be sifted out and the remaining blood started to become a vibrant and fierce scarlet color.

Being careful as to not over saturate the blood bubble I slowly stopped feeding it magick and just worked on condensing the bubble as much as possible.

*Ding*

[Refining Successful!]

[Refine lvl has increased to lvl 2]

A half hour later and 136 MP spent the system message appeared confirming my success and the increase in my skill level. After waving the messages off, my eyes opened wide as two small orbs floated in front of me.

Although seemingly ethereal they pulsated rhythmically while giving off a solid presence! One was a beautiful scarlet color while the other was such a breathtaking deep black that it seemed like it could swallow anything

“Okay, moment of truth after I look at the stats of these I'll know if any of its possible.”

With clenched fists I went to use my second skill from my [Refiner] class.

“[Analyze]”

In moments two hologram screens appeared before me.
