"While passing your mana into Requiem try to imagine the area you want to capture within Eclipse. Normally you'd want to keep it big enough to get both yourself and your enemy inside it," Req explained, standing next to me while I held the sword with both my hands.
Following her words I began to transmit my mana into the Requiem sword. I looked in front of me and in my imagination started to trace the area that I wanted to capture inside the pocket dimension.
I continued that and maintained the process for about ten minutes but nothing happened.
"It isn't working," I said.
"Huh? That's weird," she mumbled to herself and then was lost in thought, trying to figure out what was the missing piece.
"Oh!" she enlightened, clapping her hands. "After passing your mana through Requiem you have to visualize it going through the blade and coming out in the form of a black mist that covers your target area."
