While it certainly hasn’t stopped kings and emperors throughout history from trying, every attempt to tame behemoths has invariably ended in tragic failure.

Semi-priming requires corporeal manifestation of aether contained within a Dominant’s body. In Hugo Kupka’s case, this produces crystalline formations that act as reservoirs to be drawn upon to provide the energy needed to maintain the priming, as well as to cast magicks and effectively wield Eikonic abilities. However, such appendages may be forcibly separated from an injured semi-primed Dominant, preventing the reabsorption of the aether contained within.

• Dropped from Titan after defeating him during the Into the Darkness main quest.
