Ryuken told him on a Monday morning in week seven, after the assessment, after the others had left the sanctum.
He did not build toward it. He sat against the wall and looked at Vane's hands on the spear shaft and said: "The Silver Fang runs in the wrong direction."
Vane looked at his hands.
"Senna was a right-handed western spearman. Her mana distribution ran from the right shoulder through the right arm and out through the right hand, which is the natural channel for a right-handed western practitioner. She built the Silver Fang's integration into the Quicksilver Thrust along that channel because it was her channel." Ryuken looked at the spear. "Your mana distribution is not hers. You are right-handed but your core sits differently, further left, and your primary channel runs through the left shoulder before crossing to the right. For your body, the natural direction of the Silver Fang inside the thrust is the reverse of the direction she established."
