"Adding will and intent to spells, huh?"
Eren was a bit confused by Alephee's words. It was the first time he had heard of mana with intent. Thus, he asked Alephee to elaborate further.
Alephee used the same spell she had used before and pulled Eren into a domain in which time had almost completely stopped. For some reason, she seemed to be in control of the domain she had cast this time.
This was a precaution she had taken against Anfang's continent-spanning array. She knew that this was the right time for Eren to know about these things. Thus, she decided to explain to him with examples.
"The rankers of Anfang know that there are grades of mana. They defined these grades as F to S ranks. The mana grades were harnessed by rankers of that grade. Thus, the ranking statuses of Novice to Sage ranks were defined.
However, ranks are not the only scale on which mana can be distinguished. There exists a different type of mana that comes with intent at its core.
