"Oh," she breathed, lightning crackling brighter along her Stormblade. "Oh, that's more like it."
Aria felt it too. The moonlight at her fingertips flared from silver to blazing white-gold, and the next crescent she formed was heavier than any she'd built before, dense with power she could feel borrowed from Kaiden through the system.
