I went a bit overboard and decided to write some lore to link the advancement for making and using an SS rank Terra Shatterer to its reward, the Fabulous Mana Pool. For context, this is a personal pack that aims to somewhat restore a Diluted Pool meta - will probably end up posting it here once I'm happy with it. Anyways, you get a Fabulous pool that holds the same amount as a normal Mana Pool. That's it, a singular normal pool 🙂
Here's the story:
Legend speaks of a hero who ventured into the infernal depths of Hell to cull its monstrous denizens. Wielding a Terra Shatterer infused with centuries' worth of Mana, they cleaved through the many layers of demonic rock, ripping and tearing through the hordes of grotesque creatures. Each swing of the pickaxe sent shockwaves pulsing through the ground.
As the hero delved deeper, they began to tire, their Mana running low. Regardless, the hero pressed on, their resolve unbroken. As the flow of Mana ceased, their Terra Shatterer started to crumble, leaving the hero to hack away at the remaining layers one swing at a a time. They were vulnerable. Monsters gathered in the shadows, ready to strike.
In such a dire moment, when all seemed lost, the Gods looked down upon the stoic hero with favour. Recognizing their unwavering determination and unyielding spirit, they bestowed upon the hero a gift — the Fabulous Mana Pool. The hero bound their Mana Mirror to the colossal reservoir of Mana.
In an instant, Mana coursed through the hero, revitalising them and restoring their Terra Shatterer to its former glory. With newfound power, the hero pressed forwards, undeterred by the malevolent forces and protected by their Priestly Fashion dedicated to Idunn. The Fabulous Mana Pool became the source that fuelled the Terra Shatterer's destructive might.
The hero carved a path through the demonic hordes, their triumphant battle cries echoing through the passages. As the layers of Hell crumbled and the hero hit bedrock, their tenacity and unending resolve proved to be an unstoppable force. Emerging victorious, the hero built a portal to the surface, having fulfilled their duty to dispatch the demonic creatures and forge a path for future expeditions to the core.
Once the hero returned, their Terra Shatterer glinted under the sunlight, the unwavering spirit of the duo forever etched into the annals of celestial history.
It's thought that that the SS Rank Terra Shatterer and Fabulous Mana Pool are inextricably linked. If the former is ever recreated, the latter will follow.
