"Master. Speak to me of Rasatala. It seems so similar to the others above it -- yet the power is different."
"It takes a keen spirit to taste the distinction of Rasatala, Guntbrand. I'm impressed. The fifth shadow is a potent mixing pot for the previous four. Keep in mind, as the shadow seeks to climb, so does it also fall. Their energies leak down and mingle. For reasons I cannot myself fathom, Rasatala is a basin for all the fear, anger, insecurity and deceit that one must steep oneself in for the sake of this power. As a chakra however, it also possesses its own unique spiritual state. Or in this instance, a state where the spirit is forfeit.
"Rasatala opens up our animal nature in its fullest, through the promotion and indulgence in the sins just above it. It is a powerful wellspring of endurance, though it is born of fear. It demands that we place ourselves above all men; let anger fuel the effort. Covet their place. Take it from them. Deceive them if needs be. Ware that this very animal nature is at the brink of a loss of one's discretion and faculties. Killing will come across as an easy necessity. Every other being one sees will be a challenger to one's existence. Their suffering...one will relish in it, and become drunk on it if one is unable to curb the perception of such necessity. It is one of the most difficult to master, and the one to which I have lost the most students."
"Do you fear you will lose me, Master?"
"No, Guntbrand. I know you. The qualities of this chakra encompass your very nature. If anything, by mastering it, you will give yourself the potential to surpass us all."
