Bristle nodded fractionally, "[b]No sir, this is fine[/b]" in a somewhat strained voice while still focusing on the card. Release it hm? He mentally let get go of the card and it dissolved into a stream of something that floated around his body. It was almost euphoric, was this what magic was? He could feel it flowing through his body, now he had to form it into a sphere. Using the same trick he used to grab the card, he grabbed the magic streaming and tried to make it go between his hands. 

It roughly sloshed against his mental walls eventually getting most of it to condense between his hands. Now dropping the walls he made to get the magic there he tried to from it into a sphere with his mental hands. He pushed it closer and closer together, squishing it into a shape. Several seconds later he had managed to materialize a sphere, well more of an oval, about the size of an apple.

 The sphere was warbling and nearly fell apart before Bristle but his hands back into place holding it together. It stayed together a bit better but after a couple more moments it fell into nothingness. Bristle sighed exhaustedly, how had doing that taken so much energy from him. Checking his magic level he still had a bit of residue from his card but not enough to make another sphere. "[b]I guess I'm on laps now right?[/b]" he asked, both dreading and expecting the answer.
