Atticus had a hard time understanding what he meant. Why would more power make them weaker?
But after Magnus explained, he finally understood. It was simple, actually. Atticus had unintentionally compared himself with the Eldorians.
His mental capacity and sheer talent could keep up with the staggering number of abilities, but the same couldn't be said for them.
Before this power came, they were paragons who had mastered a single ability to an extraordinary degree.
Being given so many powerful abilities all at once wasn't something all of them could handle, especially not as fast as Atticus would want.
Mastering abilities naturally took time. Magnus had reminded Atticus of that. Just because he was different didn't mean others were too.
Magnus left shortly after, leaving Atticus with his thoughts.
'Maybe I'll dampen things like this down in the future when he's around,' he thought. It wouldn't change his actions in any real way, but Atticus hated seeing Magnus feel guilty.
