Karl stared at the potion for a little longer. He was going to modify it. He could apologize to the Archbishop later if it didn't work.
Or maybe run away with Lord Nacht. Whichever seemed safer at the time.

One third of maximum power flow for three times the duration was one complex compound rune that attached smoothly to the Power Surge rune. Karl took that as a sign that he had done something right, and carefully modified all the runes in the smaller vial.
As the last one was completed, Karl got a notification.

So, he made two more, and watched as he got the notification two more times. Then, he carefully mixed them into one larger potion bottle, though still half the size of the original.
