Dimensional Descent

Leonel began to absorb the Ores one after another, without a care for how dangerous they were. No matter how volatile they were to others, to Leonel, they only represented strength. In that way he was much more like Little Tolly than maybe even he knew.

What Leonel most looked forward to, though, wasn't just the strengthening of his body, but rather the synergy his Metal Body had with his Mage Core.

Under normal circumstances, the absorption of these Ores would result in the following changes.

Taking in Blazing Night Ore would increase Leonel's ability to suppress the volatility of his Scarlet Star Force. The Ore itself had an uncanny ability to remain inert without the presence of flames. When this Essence was taken in by Leonel, he too would gain this ability to suppress.

Taking in the Refractive Gold would give Leonel the ability to better control and concentrate.

Finally, Star Core was known for its heaviness. It was a Foundational Type Ore well known for increasing the weight of a weapon far beyond its proportional size. At the same time, this added weight would both stabilize and increase structural integrity.

It could be said that by absorbing Star Core, Leonel was heavily increasing the density of his body and also its defense. This would offset the volatility of Black Night perfectly and stabilize Refractive Gold to give him even more control.
