บท 116: Arcana (3)

He couldn't quite understand what was causing the pain in his body, or rather the pain around his heart.

The fact that another magic circle was not forming around his heart seemed to indicate that the energy of this arcana was working differently. On the contrary, the circle was not forming and the three circles around his heart were becoming of better quality.

It was as if the circles were becoming smoother, and thinner, but containing a greater amount of magical energy.

James didn't know what to say about the perfection of the sight, he could almost feel and indeed see, with his eyes closed, the circles around his own heart getting thinner and thinner.

It was as if he had somehow managed to shrink down and enter his own body and was watching his heart, strange but marvellous.
