Without delaying any further, Alicia and Collins engaged in a mana oath.
Fred, who stood as the witness, drew a small array in the air using a pale green mana. After finishing the array Alicia and Collins both touched the tip of the array and let their mana flow, fully lighting up the pale green array, making it glow into deep green.
Mana oath is a common way to carry out vows between two parties.
It requires less mana to the both parties and also the backlash is not as deadly as an oath overseen by the Guardians, like the oath of secrecy.
The backlash for the breaching of the oath would be decided by both parties. It could be any kind of stipulation other than the death of either parties or anyone related to them.
"I look forward to our cooperation." Collins held out his hands towards Alicia. In his palm, a miniature mark of the same array that Fred has drawn earlier.
