Alvian stood near the shattered remains of the Herald, his arms hanging limply at his sides. The [Draconic Storm Bracers] had deactivated, retreating into his inventory, revealing the severe damage underneath. His hands and forearms were a mess of deep, jagged lacerations from gripping the fractal entity. The flesh was blackened around the edges, weeping a grey, static-laced fluid that refused to coagulate.
He pulled a high-grade health potion from his spatial storage with a telekinetic nudge, shattering the vial in the air and letting the red mist wash over his arms.
Normally, the [Tear of the Infinite] and the potion would knit his flesh together in seconds. Today, the red mist sizzled against the grey wounds and evaporated.
