"Very well, there's no point in wasting any more time."

I raise my staff, pointing it towards the nearest portion of the blue mist. Certainly, I need more observation to determine its origin, but when it comes to simply clearing a space---

Well, it's utterly trivial.

I'll use myself as the first target, and the mist as the second.

The threads of myself spread out. In my mind's eye I can see them, glistening, shining things like spider silk, magical energy rushing as if along my veins and outwards, pouring down the threads like dew. The power to manipulate the world around me manifesting inside of my brain, a visualization of the invisible force extending from my being and the staff gripped in my hand.

In reality, only a faint haze, a distortion in the air, signals what is about to occur, though the nested triangle pattern dyed in purple spreading from the head of my staff, light tracing the lines that make up its holographic structure, is a clear indication of my casting process.

Personally, I'd love to take samples, but that can wait. For now, it's time to find out just where it's coming from.

I part my lips.

"Repulse."

The near-invisible haze vibrates, distorting the air as the triangle pattern flashes. The threads within my mind twist together, forming a flat surface that rushes away from me, a resounding thrum echoing through the room.

The blue, mana-rich gas wavers as it's forced aside, as if a massive hand reached in to wave it away. A bare spot on the floor is immediately visible.

I lower my staff.

"There."
