The Kux formation expert, Riven, stepped forward and produced a high-tier artifact—a bronze, palm-sized circular disc intricately engraved with multiple layers of rotating shapes and arrows. As he activated the artifact, chains of lightning began to emerge, striking the formation barrier. Though the lightning wasn't particularly strong, it methodically crept along the barrier, probing for weaknesses.
Magus Yord's eyes narrowed as he recognized the artifact's purpose. "That is a formation tool," he said urgently. "Its function is to find the flaws in my formation!"
Emery, having some knowledge of formations himself, understood the gravity of the situation. He knew that, aside from brute force, there were other methods to dismantle a formation: understanding its principles, identifying its flaws, and deconstructing it piece by piece. A master with enough talent could even locate the formation's core—its 'eye'—and seize control.
