The Ancestral Staff also stopped shaking.
"It looks like he failed," Cylix commented, walking closer to Gabriel. He placed his hand on Gabriel's head, letting out a sigh. "It was indeed too much for him."

The light of the Binding Spell kept going down, but right when it was on the verge of disappearing, it stopped. Sometimes the blood formation stopped shining entirely, and sometimes it again started shining. It was unclear what was happening, but something wasn't right.
The formation wasn't succeeding, but it wasn't failing either. It was still stuck in some limbo, flickering.
"It's not disappearing?" Cylix exclaimed, slightly surprised.
