The trait 'Rule Unity' was a very overpowered trait, let us take Cuth Diya for example. If he manages to gain this trait then he could comprehend the fire rule using the card world's rules and then continue his comprehension of the fire rule in the dark realm through its rules. 

Normally a demon or a card apprentice would not be able to do this because the rules of the card world and dark realm were different. This phenomenon was called rule contamination. Following the norms, once Cuth Diya comprehends the fire rule in the card realm his fire fule will be contaminated with the will of the card world. As a result, he can only continue to comprehend fire rule in the card world and not in the Dark realm or another realm for that matter. 

According to Dredre, this was purposefully done by the possessive realm wills such that their children do not leave them. 

However, thanks to the Rule Unity trait Cuth Diya would have to worry about the rule contamination. Even if he started the fire rule comprehension in the card world he could continue its comprehension within the dark realm and finish it in some other realm, it would also not limit the comprehension speed. 

Being able to comprehend rules in any realm was well and good but how would it compare to what Old Ben was capable of thanks to his overpowered origin card? Well, the effect of the Rule Unity was not limited to being able to comprehend rules in any realm, it extended to all types of sources of rule comprehension, one example was the Broken Runes. 

Usually, when a card apprentice or a demon swallows a broken rune or uses it to comprehend rules, their comprehension gets limited by the extent of the rule comprehended by the creator of the broken rune. If they were cautious and only used it to get introduced to the rule or the rule meaning then, their comprehension speed would decrease until they eliminate the contamination of the will of the creator of the broken rule. 

However, in Cuth Diya's case thanks to the Rule Unity trait he would not have to worry about any such limitation when he swallows a broken rune. 

With the Rule Unity trait, Cuth Diya can directly ditch trying to comprehend the rules normal way and just comprehend rules by swallowing broken rules. Since he did not have to be afraid of the rule contamination, there was no reason why he would not make the best use of his Rule Unity trait. 

Other than fast comprehension of the rules and meanings there were other advantages to Cuth Diya directly swallowing broken runes. He could control the meaning of the rules he wants to comprehend, by doing this he can increase his chance of creating hybrid runes. Not only that he could comprehend the rare and special rules and rule meanings that a normal card apprentice or demon could never dream of comprehending them. Such as the time rule, void rule, etc. The best thing was that he could replenish his rule power by munching on broken runes. 

The Rule Unity had many possibilities, but this was all theoretical. Wyatt was still on the fence about this because if a dark race had a powerful title demon core forging method that gave them a powerful trait then they would have been untouchable in the dark realm and not have been exterminated into extinction. 

Seeing how that tribe of dark race was no more, their forging method had a catch. It was almost impossible for Wyatt to miss it in translation, so it could only mean that the forging method they had was missing a few pages. Wyatt did not think Muth Diya was hiding these pages because if Muth Diya knew that there was a flaw to the foreign forging method he would not have forced his son to use it in the first place let construct an ambitious plan surrounding it. 

Regardless of whether there was a flaw in the foreign forging method, Wyatt had already taken this into consideration when he was developing the optimized forging method. This was why he did not use the foreign forging method as the base but his calamity daughter gem as the base. 

Using the calamity daughter gem as a base meant that the foreign and tribal forging methods provided by Muth Diya were used to modify the calamity daughter gem in the direction of a title demon core. Just like how in the case of Elliott and Pax he made use of the Calamity Daugter gem to create their origin card. 

If everything goes as in the simulation then Cuth Diya should not only be able to forge his title demon core successfully but gain the Rule Unity trait. Apart from the immunity to rule contamination, Wyatt guessed that the Rule Unity trait would also help with refining realm fragments, but he could not be sure until he got more concrete evidence. However, seeing how Muth Diya was aiming for the card world's realm fragment, Wyatt believed that there might be a little merit to his guess that Rule Unity also played a part in refining realm fragments. 

Theoretically, a trait like Rule Unity would be any demon or card apprentice's dream, making it obvious why an ambitious devil such as Devil Muth Diya would force his own son to forge his title demon core using the foreign forging method. 

One piece of the puzzle did not fit, and that was Muth Diya's intentions, from his past attitude toward Cuth Diya it can be seen that it was unlike Muth Diya to let someone other than himself gain power like the Rule Unity trait, even if that someone was his son. Yet, now suddenly he was pushing Cuth Diya so hard to gain this power. Was Cuth Diya his guinea pig or was Muth Diya planning to swallow Cuth Diya just like Demigod Redfall planned to do with his descendants?
