Lerac shivered at the feeling of it. "Okay, what next?"

He followed, dreading her intentions.

They arrived in another empty room. Glowing things stood on shelves, but it was impossible to see or remember exactly what they were. In the middle was a slab of stone, raised to chest height, with a shallow dip like a bowl or plate.

They were simple, sciencey-magicy things, but he couldn’t keep the concept of them in his head. 

Haly moved over to one of the shelves and pulled out an item— a glowing book. Strangely, he could keep the idea of it now.

Lerac watched, tense.

She skimmed through it, then closed her eyes and yanked on the power well, gasping as too much came through and exploded into marshmallows around her. A long with one other thing: a bottle of metals from TAAron's room. 

"Ready?" she asked Lerac.

"That seems... like it might end poorly."

She scowled, rubbing the bottle between her fingers. "Stand back."

He did so, but he clearly wasn't happy about it.

She took a deep breath and read a chant off the page. 

The more she read, the more black smoke billowed from the pages of the book.

Lerac took a step toward her, tempted to stop it.

Well, if it is supposed to involve TAAron I should probably know do I can decide what to do

It doesn't yet. I'll bring you in when it does :D

She finished chanting, her voice raising even as the smoke swirled, reared, spun around her. 

And then, as she was obscured from view, she stopped chanting. In the deep silence, there was a swoosh, and the smoke rushed Haly to vanish inside her. 

She stood for a second, then dropped the book and doubled over coughing.

"Haly!" He rushed to her, grabbing her arm and feeling for if there was anything to heal.

There wasn't. There was a darkness roiling inside her, though, a darkness that refused to leave.

Haly straightened and pulled away. "I'm fine," she snapped.

"I needed more power." She clutched the vial and closed her eyes. Smoke twirled and seeped from her fingers around the vial.

Kind of. His consciousness is not currently active. But the power has imprinted on him, basically. Though you might recall, his power has the particular property of not interacting with other types of magic.
