Ten Breaths Per One Unit

Re'Kha activated the Water Qi Essence, feeling it emit Water Qi at a steady rate. Activating a Magic Artifact or an Elemental Qi Essence was a simple feat. All one needed to do was will it into activating or deactivating. But, that was only in the case they hadn't been used by anyone else.

In its untainted state, when Re'Kha gazed at the Water Qi Essence, a sort of connection was formed after several breaths in time passed. As she was a Harmoniser, she synchronised with the Water Qi in the Water Qi Essence, using that to establish a connection between them as she inserted her will into it.

After that, all she needed was a thought to activate it. But, just like the Magic Artifacts, she needed to keep the Water Qi Essence in contact when activating or deactivating.  There was one difference between them.
