Originally, Hecate hoped to use the purest form of mana to reinforce the frame of her Divine Soul, thereby allowing her rigid soul constitution to withstand a higher density of soul energy.
However, everything changed upon the discovery of Astral Soul Energy.
Astral Soul Energy was simply superior to pure mana in every way in regard to soul cultivation. As such, Hecate was secretly ecstatic when pure mana was further broken down into Astral Soul Energy, the fabled source of power unique to Soul Masters.
Within her family's library, Hecate had once touched upon some subjects related to Astral Soul Energy in her search for a solution to overcome the constraints of her innate soul constitution.
It was said that Astral Soul Energy originated from a mysterious dimension called the Astral Soul Realm. This place was described as the origin of all souls across time and space and had existed much earlier than even the Primal Chaos Era.
