Finley Cai Aies Hall: March 31st, 20XX Even without putting the device on, I could feel the heat radiating off it. The magic particles in the air seemed repelled by it, but another substance clouded around it. Everything else had distracted me from paying it enough attention, but now that it was right in front of my face, I had to acknowledge it. Unlike the bright and energetic particles that bounced around the room, this new substance was like a thin fog that slightly discoloured the surroundings. It was hard to see normally and only thickened enough for me to see easily around the ring and bracelet set. The fog had the same properties as the golden particles in the air, but they were so different and repelled each other as eagerly as they sought each other out. “Aies.” Theodulus’s
