The first day passed without trouble, Eldrian finding that there were two ways that worked well for controlling rocks and sticks shaped like daggers with ether.
One was to completely surround the items. This used a lot more concentration and mana than the other, which was to hollow it out and fill the inside with ether.
Then, of course, there was the easier way if he abandoned control and focused just on attack. He could launch them simply by focusing the ether on one side. This could be useful, but it lacked finesse. 'However, if I throw a handful in the air and launched them with an ether bat... That could be effective.'
The next day, Eldrian returned to ANW far earlier. Spending just enough time on Earth to feed himself and secure the perimeter a bit more. However, he was keenly aware that his situation was not ideal. He needed to find a way to safeguard his body.
