As the lizard idly played with the stone and spear, trying to flex her muscles, she thought idly back on the experiments of last night. To make Mana Orb into a Mana Slice, one had to attach the lines to the nucleus, thus creating what was effectively a small chainsaw it looked like. The increased density and the cutting motion would easily explain its cutting ability...but the poison splash was a whole different beast. When 'ranking up' the poison splash, it didn't shrink, but instead seemed to become denser as well...but since it was a liquid, it seemed to droop, warp and bend out of shape, and when she tried to make a Mana Slice out of it, the particles didn't stick.

Then what could she do to make it stick? It would be reasonable to assume different mana would require different shapes to function properly. Frowning lightly, she twirled the spear in the air, making jabbing and slicing motions and complicated, dexterous exercises. She did her best to simply keep the stone afloat, rotating it in the air before dropping and catching it again with lesser force.

What fascinated her most from her experiments from last night, however, was her meditative ones. Drawing in mana from the environment didn't yield many results, but it [i]did[/i] yield some. There was an ever so slight uptick in Mana from Meditation that she could see. It wasn't much, but it was there, meaning there [i]was[/i] something to it...which was why she was glad that dual casting Lesser force on these objects was eating up her MP at a faster rate. Even more curiously was her last one. She had a fairly good memory and eye for detail, she thought, so visualizing the cavern wasn't really a surprise. What was interesting was that slight glow everything seemed to have, if it just wasn't her imagination playing tricks on her.

Nodding, she decided the first course of action was to refill her MP again. Spinning the spear fast so its point was angled towards the ground, she made a motion to impale it on the ground, before attempting to toss the pebble at its hilt. Regardless of whether it hit or not, she'd try to draw mana from the environment again.

Observing her companions briefly to make sure none were about to do something stupid, Ash began focusing on the mana around her, activating Mana vision just to be certain she could observe the potential effects. She then once again, tried to draw the ambient mana to her. Like manipulating her own mana, but on a wider scale, she simply tried drawing any ambient particles to her.
