The moment Felix exited the portal, it didn't take Travis long to notice a slight change in Felix's physical condition. He watched as Felix's assured movements soon allured to enfeeble gestures. The hints were minor but added up after the former Arch-Mage instilled urgency to begin the experiment. Travis momentarily pondered how Felix got around as he rounded up everyone into this crazy quest, knowing that fact that leaving the protective perimeter of the manor would increasingly become taxing. Seeing Felix's condition immediately begin to deteriorate, even at a slow growing pace, it was more evident to Travis that their project had to succeed. With a mana crystal in hand and in position, Felix activated their rune with the inscribed text emitting a calm blue glow. Travis immediately began jotting down notes and while he didn't find anything visually remarkable, through the use of his manalysis, he could perceive Felix's aura and mana traces improving from an apparent lessened state. While Felix seemed more lively and confident of their success, Travis didn't express the exact same tone. "It does appear that our runic spell is doing its job, see as your cheerful attitude it back," Travis began, "though I am still concerned how long it will hold up. I'd rather it stay functioning for least several hours rather than a few short minutes, or even for a moment."
