Eliphas nodded, confirming what she said. "Precisely. To restore the spirit, balance is required. If one goes too out of balance, the spirit will fall, and with it the others." he propelled himself forward in the swing and said "You have had enough balance to maintain your power and abilities for now, but it might just be that your spirit, or soul are very strong. Whenever a mage wishes to conjure powers, all of the circles need to activate. The body sends a sign to the mind, which sends a sign to the soul, which draws power from the spirit to cast a spell. In order to ensure the spell won't backfire, won't kill the mage, or if it will simply work, one needs balance. The more balance there is, the better results. You can't control your powers, that doesn't mean you lack balance. It means you might rely on the souls of other people too much." and explained what he meant.
Eliphas stopped for a moment and looked at Lilith. "Your spirit must be weak, so you use magic to absorb the souls of dead people, and therfore consume whatever spirit was leftover in them to create a spirit of your own, to cast your own magic. You get hurt when you cast spells without souls, right? That's more proof for my thesis. Without the spirit, the soul has nothing to cast a spell out of, so instead the soul has to drain parts of your mind, soul and body. To restore your spirit, I can't exactly help you. That's something you have to do on your own, but I can show you how to." and got up from the swing. He looked up at one of the trees and pointed to it. There was a small, white bird on it. One of the birds that Mephisto summoned previously. "See that bird? It has perfect balance, because unlike us - It does not feel the need to go out of it's nature. It's spirit, soul, body and mind are at their own maximum, because it maintains absolute balance all by itself, without any help. The mortal races like humans, or elves traded their balance for incredible intelligence, and we have to maintain it by artificial means. Sometimes it maintains itself, sometimes you have to meditate, sometimes you need to stop casting magic to restore it."
Eliphas kept looking at her and smiled. "Try meditation, it helps me develop my own powers. When I am in balance my power grows with each second. This way, you will maintain a balance of your own and develop your power. If you don't know how, I can teach you that too."
"You're a great teacher. I think I understood something from all of that." Gabriel said, approaching the playground with a smile stamped on his face. He knelt down besides Eliphas, dropping down his right leg to get on his level. "Why don't you show me something? To see if you're a good fighter." Gabriel muttered in his ear, getting up and taking off his glove, revealing a blue pentagram. His hand burst in blue flames, same for his eyes. He clenched his hand in a fist, pointing his finger in the air. He thrust his fist in the air and a thick, huge blue fireball went out of his hand, exploding up in the air with a loud noise. He smirked, looking at him. "So? Will you show me?" He said in a challenging manner, bowing his head and then bowing completely, his nose almost touching the ground. "I would like to have a taste of what you can do."
