Ethan sighed in relief when he managed to pull that off. It is amazing what humans can do when they are cornered… he used all of his focus to keep the forgotten voices in his head away and used the same to train his magic. 

"Now I just need to learn how to make water and fire armor and then combine all of them," Ethan thought. "That should be good training to control my magic and my curse."

He saw Emily concentrating as Luneria explained how to use pure mana to manipulate the laws of physics. Emily's initial goal was to create a mana barrier around her head to enhance her thinking speed.
