Ren nodded. He felt the link between his and Lucian's Mana be established as Ren let it happen, since he figured Lucian wouldn't be stupid enough to do anything to him. Unfortunately forcing Ren to move was impossible, try as hard as he may. It seemed like it couldn't be used to control people, but Lucian was able to transfer some of his Mana to Ren, something the Skill felt intended to do as it linked Mana Pools. The next task, using a self target Skill on Ren, would take a bit of focus to attempt.

Mana Link Test: 30 - 50 Focus = -20

It was successful. Lucian was able to send the Mana of the Skill through the link and thus was able to use it on Ren, the shield appearing around him. Ren looked at it, a bit impressed. Lucian felt like as long as Mana Link was active and, if he managed to establish a link with someone, he could use self targeting Skills on them now more freely now without really having to focus. Mana Link, by this point, gained a Level after all three of his tests and was already halfway to its next level as the first two tests leveled it up. 

"Well that's an interesting Skill... is that all you wanted to test out or is there more?" Ren was still rather apathetic, but was indeed showing a little bit of interest in Lucian's Skill.
