Magical Vacation
The party first met Shallot at his house in Abos Village, wherein he told them about the unique characteristics of enigmas. According to him, magicians who performed enigma fusion were still in touch with their thoughts, but by drowning themselves in the enigmas' power, they essentially forfeited their hearts.
