As I closed my hand, the earth answered. I had drawn a great many Scripts into the earth, and there were nine joints left to make to finalise the process. I had left them undone on purpose, knowing that with the nature of lightning, it would be almost impossible to stop me from activating what I had created.
The first joint was directly under my feet, and when I raised my hand and closed it, that was only a visual diversion, as I released lightning through my feet, and it went into the bedrock and found the first Joint Script, and this Script woke the six hundred beneath it.
Like a wave that grew larger the further it travelled, every Script I had made lit up and began to draw essence from the surroundings.
Inscription worked with both Anima and essence, and Anima was clearly the better method to fuel Inscription. However, everything changed when scale was brought into it.
