Nuon had followed Saijif into the room, and now stood staring at the pipe with a mixture of disbelief, amazement and utter confusion. The specialist explained it as simply as he could.

A stronger magic gives off a stronger reaction-like staying in the air longer or resisting when someone tries to move it. But Nuon politely refused. Though he still had many more questions, Saijif told him that magic tires people out quickly. With this knowledge, Nuon thanked the specialist politely, played a few games of chess with Saijif and left. Saijif stroked his beard again thoughtfully.
