Flames licked on Flora. The heat distorted the air, and steam clouded it.
(Right hand and left hand:) <Thorn Cannon>
Most of the Healing Rain droplets evaporated before they hit the fire, much less Flora, who sat in it.

Lightning arced from Mia's drone, right next to Flora.
(Right hand and left hand:) <Thorn Cannon>
*boom boom boom boom* Deep drums banged out electronic rhythms.
(Right hand and left hand:) <Thorn Cannon>
They originated from Cherrya's headphones. The girl did pirouettes on her roller skates right next to Flora. 'Look away, ignore her.'
(Right hand and left hand:) <Thorn Cannon>
Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw laser beams converging on her. 'Nothing to see; concentrate on your spells. They are just healing me.'

Flora's focus narrowed down until only her breath, the training dummy, and three spells were left. Like a machine, she spat out a Thorn Cannon every two seconds while never stopping to channel Toxic Beam. The repetition etched the spell diagrams into Flora's mind. Before the training, she knew the charts like someone knew the painting on their dinner room wall. She could describe how much of what was where. However, now, she knew the diagrams as if she had painted them herself. As she loaded them with her magic, again and again, the process grew smoother. Before she filled in the channel system and watched it flow, now she could guide the flow through the channels.
"You have reached the one hour mark, Milady. Do you want to see the achievements?"
(Right hand and left hand:) <Thorn Cannon>
"Yes." Flora had no resources to ponder the question. She had sent the affirmation to Aidan out of a subconscious desire to know if the exertion was worth it. A thought swam into her consciousness of whether it was the wrong decision. Would she lose concentration because of her curiosity? She suppressed it.
