All along, Cecil and Typhon have been on different technological paths—the former embarked on a new route of Magic Technology, while the latter advanced the potential and application of Transcendents to a higher level. In the short term, the advantages of both remain hard to distinguish, and Gawain had never thought that there would be a day when these two technological routes might intersect.
Unfortunately, working on the talents of Transcendents, attempting to select "low-talent individuals" from ordinary people, and using potions, rituals, and training to catalyze them into genuine Transcendents with a narrow application has always been Typhon's specialty. Cecil's research in this area is non-existent.
