Marie felt energy rushing toward her from everywhere.
The symbols on the ground all blazed simultaneously. Network of light connecting every person, every spirit, every contributor across Eastern Hesod.
The gathered power became a torrent, a flood, a tsunami of magic and will pressing through her consciousness.
The sphere expanded violently, reaching twice the size of the house before then bursting to three times and growing to four times. The growth accelerated as Forerunners' contributions further rushed towards her like streamers and swirled upwards.
The golden lights entered the expanding sphere and allowed it to be pushed further against the barrier, leading to more cracks appearing.
Then Marie felt additional energy arriving. It was a different quality than human magic, more wild and more primal.
Her eyes widened with recognition, and then her eyes lit up with a massive grin.
It was the Phantasm Beasts.
