The spellwork was beautiful, intricate, but it was bleeding energy in several places—Jeane was maintaining too much complexity with insufficient core power. "You're not stable enough for this kind of manipulation," she said, voice low and precise. "The field's integrity is compromised—you can feel it bleeding energy."
