Mr. M turned to me, his expression grave. "Sari, what happened yesterday... when Lucy activated, the energy signature was unique. I analyzed the data from the moment your heart stopped and the moment the surge hit exploded inside you, and that energy, is not pure light or dark elemental magic. It contains a residual trace of some unknown mana force, but it is somehow purified, stabilized, and bound to your life force. When you called on it, it didn't just enhance your power, there was a fusion of that and yours, rapidly forming a Domain that only collapsed because of your physical exhaustion."
I swallowed hard. "Unknown mana force?" The idea alone was a mystery, not just for me but for all of us.
