The Law of Stillness. It was the fifth Law of the chilling path.
To be calm in the face of the world, not everything needing a reaction, not every reaction needing to be an action itself. It was the pinnacle of chill in both the mind and the body.
But it was deeper than that. Or, rather, shallower. Theron had an immediate heart-to-heart connection with the emotional side of the Law, but what about the more physical side of it?
That he understood as well.
Heat made the molecules of Mana agitated, faster, more erratic… but chill did the opposite. It was the absence of that agitation, the absence of that unfettered, unorganized state.
When chilled, Mana slowed. No, not Mana itself, but the structures formed within it.
To control this sort of chill, he had to be able to *still* more Mana in relation to itself in a macro sense, while keeping the micro identically the same.
