"Flow through the channels, redirect the pressure, and seal the fractures from within."
I whispered the words from the book for what felt like the hundredth time that night, my fingers tracing the glowing patterns that only I could see. The spell pulsed beneath my skin, responding to the technique I'd been practicing for hours. According to the book, this method was called the Internal Cascade Reinforcement, and it was supposed to strengthen weakening restrainer barriers by redirecting the caster's own magical energy back into the spell's foundation.
The best part? It didn't require the original caster's help at all.
I closed my eyes and focused on the flow of magic inside me, feeling for the weak points in the restrainer spell just as the book had instructed. There were small cracks near my core. I gathered a thread of my own power and carefully wove it into the cracks, watching as they sealed shut with soft shimmers.
Perfect.
