Miracle's reaction (2) - Zaphreal's questions

"Is this really possible?" Joren asked. No matter how many times he watched it, it didn't make any sense. How could someone alter the flow of time? It sounded like insanity. 

"It would appear it is. Which means..."

"Right. We've got a problem." Ziraili had sent a warning to them, and Eldrian had also tried to relay the same warnings. And Zaphreal had been unable to convince the others in the company of the dangers. 

The ANW department had, for the moment, limited their experimentation to one lab. They had managed to make something like a 'mana magnet'. Capable of capturing mana from space as the planet moved through it. 

The increase in mana was slight at the moment. Because of mana's non-physical nature, it was near impossible to capture it inside the lab. As a result, most of the mana gathered by their mana magnet escaped.
