"What the hell? The scale is moving." Loudbark and the other mixed-race Practitioners cried out in shock, never expecting that a single Spark skill could provoke such a reaction, never imagining that the Tower would answer light with weight.
Under every gaze, the arm began to drop rapidly on Adyr's side, as if it had suddenly taken on mass far beyond bone, while the colossal stone planet on the other side looked as insubstantial as hollow resin by comparison, an ornament pretending to be a world.
The reaction surpassed what they had witnessed during Brakhtar's own bloodline revelation, and the crowd fell past speech into the kind of quiet that feels like a height.
