Sylas had felt what Lorien was talking about as early as the Trial of the Summoning. When he first entered the Basilisk King's Dungeon, he had undergone what could be considered his first major evolution, and his body reacted in the wildest of ways.

Back on Earth, it was already commonly understood that death and being around death did something odd to the libidos of people. It was often explained as a drive for procreation, an instinct to pass on one's genes before they could be wasted in death.

But this was on a completely other level from that.

Lorien probably had no idea just how right she was by mentioning "Potential," but Sylas could feel it intimately now that Taboo Bond had reached Level 50 in earnest.

Every time he rearranged his genes, or added some new unique skills to his body that he wasn't naturally born with, he had to connect to something particularly primal within him. That primal aspect of him was the most bestial essence of who he and everyone around him were.

It was what drove people, what decided the underlying reasons for all their actions.
