Towers and Effects (Part 2)

With Phloria's keen mana perception and two excellent teachers, it took her less than an hour to master both Invigoration and Accumulation.

"Now use Invigoration to study your own body and mana flow." Solus said. "Avoid using Accumulation until your body doesn't stabilize, otherwise you'll risk a core break."

Phloria gulped at the idea and did as instructed.

"This is the hard part. Open your eyes but keep studying your mana core while you also focus on the outside world." Tista put a small stone right in front of Phloria's legs.

"Focus on the pebble and will for it to float."

At first, all Phloria managed to do was to squint her eyes and frown. With each failed attempt, her frustration grew until she gave up in a fit of rage and the pebble reached for the ceiling.

"Did I do that?" Phloria had just perceived a tendril of mana coming from her core lashing like a whip and sending the stone flying.
