Death-mana

"Where is all the local mana?" Eldrian asked, turning around and using Mana Examination again. He found that the colorful mists were still present. However, they only started forming again nearly 30 meters back. As such, for once he could see up to 50 meters while using Mana Examinations. 

It was the major disadvantage of Mana Examination and why most people discarded it. In normal locations, it would limit their vision to 20 meters at best. In really mana-rich areas, even seeing a few meters ahead would be difficult. 

"Seems you already figured it out," Pelaros replied jokingly, enjoying watching Eldrian trying to figure things out. It was especially fun to wonder if Eldrian would come up with similar ideas to what they commonly believed true. 

"How is that possible?" Eldrian asked again, "How can this cause an area to be devoid of mana?"

"Why don't you explain that to me?" Pelaros replied with a smile, causing Eldrian to become slightly frustrated.
