Different but the same [1]

There were disadvantages to the threads. 

One such disadvantage was the fact that if one paid close enough attention, they'd be able to tell exactly where they were. 

This was especially true when I combined [Hands of Malady] with Etherweave. The moment I combined the two, detecting the threads was almost a certainty. At the very least, to mages. Those that specialized in [Body] were less sensitive to the surrounding mana. 

For that reason, I came up with a better way to use them.

Four threads were hovering. In particular, my attention was on one thread where the very tip of it was purple.
