Hao Xuan realized what had happened while he was explaining it.
"The protection array of the city! It has to be that. It wasn't a spell but she was still channeling it when it was broken."
He placed a hand over her forehead to insert a thread of spiritual sense.
"Hmm, I was right. She had to seal away her soul to protect it from the backlash, that's why I couldn't feel it. If not for that the rampaging energies would have killed her instantly, vaporizing her soul and burning her from the inside out."
He gave a once over to the rest of her body and noticed the swelling on her thumb, forefinger, and middle finger.
"I see she tried to cast a few small spells at the end but there was no time. Bring me a sterile needle and a dish. Also, some herbs that can bring down swelling along with a few candles."
He turned to see three astonished faces looking at him like an alien and Claudia who was confused at their shock.
