Raylo nodded. He slowly extended his right hand and opened his palm.
There were no earth-shattering energy fluctuations, nor were there any dazzling visual effects. A wisp of a grey, almost tangible air current silently appeared and hovered above his palm. It was only as thick as a strand of hair, looking completely unremarkable. Yet, the moment it appeared, it was as if it swallowed a fraction of the light in the lounge, causing the room to dim.
The dancing flames in the fireplace suddenly stalled, seemingly suppressed by an invisible force.
Mage Delin stared at that wisp of grey air, his body leaning slightly forward. The expression on his face shifted from solemnity to shock, then to disbelief, and finally settled into a complex look of sheer horror!
"This... this power..." He reached out a hand to feel the power.
