Sylas' finger drew across the air and the world shuddered.
It was the first time he had tried to do this, but the methods of the Africor Monarchs had given him the idea. Using his Crown to help draw Runes…
In truth, he technically had already. It was thanks to his Crown that he had been able to so quickly draw Runes during the penultimate battle. But honestly speaking, that was passive, and it was also far more related to the Palms of Fate than it was the Crown.
But right now, he was actively trying to use it, feeling how it interacted with the Mesh of Reality and observing the changes it influenced in Runes.
He found that with it activated, the tome's Time Rune Lineage was actually easier to use. Not only that, but it quite literally slowed things down for him.
Like this, looking at one iteration back and forward with his Crown activated was like looking at two before. This allowed him to read and react to Runes with far greater ease.
