Under the magnification power of 300x, the thumb-sized crystalline core appeared gigantic, its surface covered in small irregularities. Following the instructions from the virtual lab, I precisely adjusted the position and angle of the core using the magical formation. Only then did I activate the heat beam.
A tiny beam, one-tenth the thickness of a hair, hit the core, turning its surface reddish and soft while creating an indentation the size of a quarter of a human hair. I slowly moved the heat beam with my spiritual energy, crossing the core's surface with absolute precision. As the beam passed, a straight, narrow line appeared, marking the crystalline surface.
Every detail—from the beam's position to the depth of each cut—was clearly marked in my mind, highlighted in different colors. All I had to do was follow the layout and speed set by the virtual lab, guiding the heat beam with my spiritual energy and sculpting with extreme attention.
