Rising further

Julian raised his hands as his fingers curled and he called for Mana Infusion.

He closed his eyes and focused all his senses on the world around him. He felt the energy around the world shift.

The sky above him tore open, and through the rift, a surge of mana from the outer world rushed in. He could feel it coursing through the atmosphere and merging with the mana that already filled the space.

Suddenly, the entire world began to tremble. Earthquake seemed to cover the entire land, and Julian could feel his control on the world, slipping away.

His heart raced and panic gripped him but Julian quickly gathered his focus. With a sharp command, he immediately canceled the Mana Infusion.

The trembling began to fade, and the world slowly returned to its original state. Julian let out a sigh of relief.

"That was close," he said realizing the immense responsibility that came with controlling such power.
