Day 16...
Wordcount: 26,704

Evran felt the power hit him. It was exhilarating. He took aim almost casually and formed the power into a huge sphere of magical force. He sent it toward the rock, and watched in an almost detached way as it hit and split the rock in half.
Nice one, sir! Shtaa said in his mind.
The power stopped suddenly as the others were distracted by the effects of their sphere.
"By the blessed gods!" Ayla whispered. "Did we do that?"
"Yes, you all did. Imagine what you'll be capable of once you all have familiars and more power available to you."
