The time I spent messing around with the energy inside the various bones we had 'borrowed' from that Fiend matched the amount of time it took for Anput to forge that short sword, and by then I had figured out that I could actually amplify my spells by focusing on them.
And as odd as it sounded, that wasn't because I was able to fine tune them to a better degree, nor was it because I was putting in more mana; it was the same amount of mana, same amount of fine tuning, but there was a difference when I just off handedly cast the spell like normal and when I willed the spell to be better.
It was just a feeling I had whenever I actually began to cast my magic, and it was a foreign one that required me to concentrate rather hard on what I was doing and how I wanted it to work, so I very much was a bull in a china shop with this new 'power' I had been told about.
