Under the observation of everyone else in the group, Master Tolen worked meticulously at the main control rod of the array, his hands steady despite the chill.
His first goal was clear: recalibrate the power levels to create a more focused and contained field of influence.
"[We need to angle the energy inward, keep it tight and controlled. With this adjustment I'm making now, it should prevent it from spilling out too much and drawing in the wildlife to aggressively approach from far away,]" Tolen explained, adjusting dials and checking the flow of mana through a small, glowing device he held up to his non-blind eye.
As he made the final adjustments, the air around the array pulsed softly, the light from the rods dimming slightly before stabilizing. The energy now hummed with a more controlled intensity, the outward spread significantly curtailed.
