Lucius would have wanted to avoid removing the spell matrices if he could since they took countless hours of trial and error to make them.
It was why he had called for the healers.
However, with the circumstances regarding the vegetative state of the assassin, Lucius was ready to drop it all in order to gather information from the man.
"Since I'm left with no other option, I'll be forming the Spell Matrix for Soul Scry."
Lucius sat down comfortably and prepared himself mentally.
This was going to be the toughest spell he'd make at this point and he even had to remove all of the other spell matrices to accommodate the tremendously complex spell.
The next several hours, Lucius spent all of it in making the spell matrix for it as carefully as he could. Each time he'd go at an intricate part slowly and with an intensity to accomplish it while he had the opportunity to do so.
