The Seraphinums are a legend among legends. The power of celestial beings that must be infused for one of them to ascend as a new being. As some legends say, a Seraphinum appeared once in Millenia to stop evil beings, but he failed. Locals were aware of the Seraphinum and wrote about it in books, making it a legend. In its form, the being's overall appearance has only minor differences: the most notable change is its younger, thinner appearance, as well as its hair turning a shade of pink from which it glows.
