>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BEGIN INTERPRETATION

Imitation, the highest form of flattery and shortcut for those who lack understanding. In PvP combat, imitation allows viewer to copy a person with greater skill. The viewer’s intent is to make that strength their own, through mimicking the results or success without much knowledge of the process or experience. The viewer will either becomes a shadow or a sheep, to the original and shepherd who is showing off their skills. Both, the sheep and shadows absorbs what they witness with the thought “If that person can do it. So can I.” The sheep will obey and follow, without trying to become the original, the sheep will show blind loyalty to the shepherd and will obey every word about their reasoning on what they do and why they do it. The shadows rely on their ability to imitate the original and try to become an exact copy, which may provide faster results and quick success but most likely will result in superficial strength and skill. Make no mistake that end result may be optimal and efficient. However, with the lack of understanding and knowledge of process on how to reach the end or that conclusion will greatly impair the PvPer. In Sovereign two systems are in place to better educate PvPers without relying on copying but to discover their own strength. The systems are Mentorship and Classroom.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>RESUMING INTERPRETATION

Conclusion, if original does not explain process or in depth knowledge share, will create voids of information in sheep or shadows. With lack of knowledge, once presented with a first time problem without any prior examples to fall back on, will result in imminent collapse of sheep and shadows. In turn sheep will listen to their shepherd for guidance on how to deal with the problem. The shadows will look to see how the original handles the problem. Both require that the original has the appropriate response to solve the problem. If not, all will suffer from the lack of knowledge until a solution is found.

No further interpretation required.
