Elric held it for eleven seconds. I have reviewed the eleven seconds, and by every parameter available to me, the cast he produced should not have been possible at four percent capacity through a body at this stage of reconstruction.
He had surprised me by the method he had used for this spell, and I noted three separate moments in the eleven seconds at which the correct tactical decision was to abort the cast and preserve the body.
He did not abort, and I do not have a parameter for what he did instead. The closest term in my available vocabulary is one I have flagged for review, because it does not belong to the tactical lexicon, and I am not certain how it entered my assessment of the host.
The term is tenacity.
