"You have learned how to use your ears; now we shall move to how to feel."
"'Feel' is the hardest one to master. I am going to leave you to meditate for an hour; try to feel everything around you. I shall give you one hint: use the mana," Magnus instructed.
He continued, "Immediately after one hour, I shall attack without warning."
As soon as Magnus finished speaking, once again, before Atticus could react, a searing bolt of lightning struck him directly on the head, targeting his ears with precision.
The intense surge of energy overwhelmed his auditory system, sending shockwaves through his skull.
As the lightning interfaced with Atticus's ears, it disrupted the normal functioning of the auditory nerve pathways.
The sudden electrical surge caused a temporary deafening effect by overwhelming the delicate mechanisms responsible for sound perception, rendering him momentarily unable to hear.
