While the celebrations were going on in the coliseum, Silax was in his room executing a certain project of his. This was the reason he couldn't attend the Synod Moot.
He was attempting a modified version of an enchantment he had come across a long time ago. One of the requirements was that the runes needed to be etched under the glow of Aethel.
Under normal circumstances this wouldn't be an issue because that occurred once a month, but due to Silax's meagre amount of Orenda, he couldn't complete it in a single night. He had to wait till today when he would have a whole day to make his attempt.
His plan initially was just to make an attempt and see how well he would perform, and then practice some more until the following year to make another attempt.
Fate, it seemed, had its own plans.
Tyla's gift had eliminated the issue of his Orenda capacity, which meant he could try it once every month till he got it.
