I closed my eyes and reached for the deep Anima, the sixteen percent that remained in the reservoir, plus the cracked nine percent that produced regenerated Anima at reduced quality, plus the five percent of the white-glowing Ascendant Earth Gate boost that I had never deliberately spent, gave me, in total, thirty percent of my reservoir's total accessible volume.
I could freely spend sixteen percent without tearing the reservoir further.
How much power could I get from this? It did not matter; I pulled.
Anima came up through my channels, and Lightning Resonance converted the volume to lightning in transit, and my channels filled up with power.
I used up all the free Anima that I had available to me, all sixteen percent.
My body began to glow blue, and I was sure that my eyes were glowing blue as well. The bolts that danced across my skin were the surface manifestation of the lightning saturating my flesh from the inside, the channels all carrying maximum charge.
