The nearest stack of rocks and antlers was soon within sight. As if in a silent agreement, the rest of our group gathered around it and waited for Wen Shiyin, expectant eyes following the artifact in her hands. It appeared that the power of this new tracker had earned its fame at Mount Hua already.
"This is the amplifier that you found last night?" Wen Shiyin asked me, crouching down to study the stack. "The spiritual power over it is quite strong indeed."
I nodded. An amplifier absorbed the lingering spiritual power in nature to strengthen itself over time, thus bringing more energy into the ritual it was used to support. In the mere few days after the sword spirit's arrival, the strength of these artifacts had grown beyond our expectations.
