Simon spent hours reading the books on chaos runes and improving his proficiency in chaos runes.
There are four proficiency ranks for chaos runes, and these proficiency ranks are flawed, standard, refined, and perfected.
According to the books he had read so far, proficiency did not determine the power of a rune.
It determined the quality of the rune.
A flawed rune could still function, but it would be unstable, inefficient, and consume excess energy.
A standard rune was properly functional and stable enough for normal usage.
A refined rune possessed high efficiency, stronger output, lower energy consumption, and faster activation speed.
As for perfected runes...
Those were described as works of art.
Runes where every stroke, every layer, every flow of energy, and every interaction between intent and structure had reached near flawless harmony.
Simon slowly closed the book in his hand.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
