"I expected this to be much easier. How are you doing this so effortlessly, Michael?" Alice asked, droplets of sweat trickling down her temples.
She quickly realized that it was much harder to create Soul Energy than Michael and Kaleb made it look like. Even after Alice focused solely on the creation of Soul Energy, it took her two hours to get started. That was still several times faster than Kaleb had been, but that was only obvious.

That ought to enhance her brain enough to learn most Basic techniques in the blink of an eye.
