[quote=AlidaMaria] That sounds rather plausible to me, though you'd have to add that the relic's powers adapt to how the evoker is. For example, if Marcus no longer focuses on surviving, but would return to Da-Hyun to claim his father's old position as a noble, his relic could (for example) provide him with the power to manipulate thoughts or to erase all memories concerning Marcus' past or simply be loved and noticed by all who meet him, idk. This already given fact would mean that the relics poses a conscious of their own to a certain extent. Also, if I'm remembering and summarising this right, The Vocators can work the wat they do, because their members are mentally molded into a certain way, to make sure they react positively to the mask.Thus, basicially rewording Maki's statement, the relics react to persons if they meet a few conditions, they have to have a certain state of mind/ personality/ potential, as well as a larger than average "pool of magic", this pool is heriditarial to a certain extent, which is why the theory of "The blood of the old Kingdom" has come into existence. But every relic reacts differently and slightly adapt its powers to its user. A myth (sorry, I can't help it) could be that the relics weren't ever actually crafted, they came into being somehow, have a mind of their own and try to achieve certain things through the evoker to their choosing. That's why they only choose people with a certain type of character, to make sure they can achieve whatever goal the relic has in mind. I'd suggest that rarely onyone knows/beliefs the theory of the "pools of magic". [/quote] I think this. Myth's personality is more in the moment, without as much thought for the future. For example, he essentially stood up in a kingdom that was crawling in Idris believers, and basically said "I'm a relic user and would like to show everyone how much I can do." For him, that would be a chance to show people that he's powerful, but rumors would dilute the truth so that people wouldn't believe it if they didn't see it, and it would possibly make him even MORE of a target. Of course, Myth Dragon would already have a bit of a reputation, as "That foolish guy who began shooting lightning." Really, it's lightning, surely people would notice and later say, "LIGHTNING BOY! WHERE HE GO?" EDIT: And based on what people said, then the Blademasters would be much more powerful Relic-users than most, since they are a single family that focuses completely on Old Kingdom Relics, and masterful sharp-fights.
