"Of course, the effect is more important."
"Then, let's do a comparative experiment."
Ron took out two identical candles from the storage bag:
"Alfred, please light the first candle in your usual way. Sied, use the 'resonance' method I just taught to light the second one."
Without hesitation, Alfred pointed the index finger of his right hand at the wick, concentrating magic power to heat the fingertip.
A few seconds later, the candle was lit, but the flame was flickering and appeared unstable.
Sied, on the other hand, closed his eyes and gently caressed the surface of the candle first, as if sensing the texture and temperature of the wax.
Then he took a deep breath, and a gentle light emanated from his palm.
This time, the ignition process took nearly twenty seconds, but when the candle was lit, the flame was exceptionally stable, even carrying a faint golden glow.
"Now, blow out both candles simultaneously, and light them again."
Ron continued to instruct.
