@WrongEren@lazyk_night@pa_pamc@DampyX0 They didn't know the danger because they weren't told it was dangerous by the people who were researching the abyss, that doesn't mean they weren't using abyssal energy. If only a few people could use it, wouldn't that make them rare and join the army or something instead.
@WrongEren@lazyk_night@pa_pamc@DampyX0 The fact that street performers were using it just to barley scrape by in the streets means they were broke people using the abyss. That is the entire point, poor people were using the abyss even to make money. So abyssal energy was not a secret amongst the people.
@WrongEren@lazyk_night@pa_pamc@DampyX0 Yes, since a spell that uses the abyss energy to mimic any element was reduced to a party trick that anyone could learn. Γbyss energy was not a secret to the people of Khaenriβah.
@WrongEren@lazyk_night@pa_pamc@DampyX0 Omg keep up man, Azosite which was used as their main energy source for everything was replaced with abyssal energy.
@WrongEren@lazyk_night@pa_pamc@DampyX0 "the Sumeru Akademiya suggests that Azosite energy systems were in widespread use long before Khaenri'ah even started building ruin machines." What does widespread mean to you? It was literally an energy source.
