章 301: Testing Limits

The light from the century crystal bathed the workshop in a soft, silvery glow as Rlyis and Eno stood hunched over one of the worktables, surrounded by a forest of tools, parchment, and shards of Spirit Quartz. Rlyis's quill moved quickly as she sketched some tentative array patterns in the middle of their discussion.

Lassim had moved to sit, back against against the wall, with one of the smaller shards in his hands, studying it, after watching them argue over the finer details of how to use the Spirit Quartz and the unique crystal as the centerpiece in their Semi-Spirit Mystic design for the last two hours.

Lassim found himself tuning out from tiredness at this point. Rlyis and Eno were deep in discussion about the array patterns needed to regulate the flow of Spirit Sense between the shards, their voices blending into a low hum with the soft light of the crystals.
