"The truth is, my lady, that every single person who was linked in the Nexus went up a level. Johnson, a third-level soldier, actually went up two, though he was close to breaking through to fourth before the fight."

He just shrugged. "The mages are still analyzing exactly what happened, but it seems to have something to do with the absurd amounts of power you channeled. I certainly felt some sort of supporting influence throughout the fight, and often found my mana regenerating significantly faster than it should have."
