The next day Calen finished his job way ahead of schedule - he was getting really good at precisely controlling the flame, and his purification has become so efficient that he could now do it three or four times without taking a break.
Sylara told him that he could go back to the fortress but he stayed, both to observe Elira's training and to ask her about the potential sabotage.
Speaking of Elira, her task for today was to do the same thing she did with memories, but in real time on a plant she wasn't physically in contact with - an ability that would make her a perfect scout.
Unfortunately for her, it wasn't going very well, controlling a plant she wasn't touching was possible indirectly through the nature domain, bu she had no idea how to connect to a distant plant directly.
The only guidance she received from Sylara was to 'forget about physical form and use the divine power directly'.
