"This feels very different. It's not just that the mana doesn't feel like it's here, it's like the mana in my body is also being stubborn."
The way that the mana felt to Gil was like he was suddenly pulling at something double the weight that it normally was. To him, he understood it as something that came to be because they had removed the ambient mana around them and entirely caused the mana to be isolated.
Within their bodies the mana now had no connection at all to the ambient mana whereas the world has connections to ambient mana aven when they pulled the mana away. It was a difference in density and purity that caused this phenomenon.
"You don't need your mana right now though, you should be able to use the skill and pull at whatever else might be around? Or maybe you will influence space mana and pull on manas from further away?"
This was a theory that Walker had idly chatted with Gil about.
