The creature's blue light intensified, its form shimmering and pulsating as it responded to the symbol. A tendril of energy lashed out from the guardian, wrapping around Evie's arm. The connection surged with unimaginable power, a torrent of raw energy threatening to consume her.

It was a dizzying, overwhelming experience, but she held on, channeling the power through the symbol in the book.
