The synthesizing power of Tzures.
Tzures seems to be the only way to forcibly harmonize all the conflicting and stubborn angels ( and not so angels)of our personalities in a whole unit capable of performing a genuine destiny.
At least in this moment,I don't see other thing than Tzures to perform such task.
