The awakening of a Primordial Bloodline ability was never meant to be a quick process.
For most members of the Primordial Race, awakening a true bloodline ability required decades of slow adaptation. Some needed centuries.
A Primordial had to let the bloodline settle into the body, fuse with the soul, nourish the bones, refine the organs, and gradually change the way their laws interacted with the world. Only after the bloodline became a natural part of their existence would a hidden ability begin to surface.
But Max and the others did not have decades.
They did not even have years.
The devils had already entered their universe, the Wall of Eternity had already been pierced, Varok was walking around with the Pearl of Abyss, and the meeting between the Primordials and the devils would take place in a week.
Because of that, the Primordial Race had chosen a method that was rarely used unless the situation was urgent.
