[The footage confirms my hypothesis,] the system said.
[Each power creates different neural links, and without additional buffering capacity, these conflicts cause disastrous consequences. That is, if the specimen doesn't die because of the first one they got. The solution the Blackguards employed to have multiple neural links is quite ingenious. With the plants preventing brain decay, the brain crystal can actually change its job as a buffer and act as a channeler. This means that, in theory, brain crystals can do both jobs.]
The video resumed, showing Dr. Hayes looking older, addressing a small group of scientists.
"Project Awakening has failed in its original target. We cannot safely allow humans to use mana without brain crystals. We know that using mana without brain crystals is possible, but it is beyond our current capabilities. The genetic modifications we performed to achieve that resulted in unacceptable mutations in human subjects."
