Special Formation

As the realization of a mana-channeling formation crystallized in his mind, Adrian's excitement surged.

He couldn't waste another second in his System Factory. With only less than three minutes left, he decided to return to the real world and start planning immediately.

"Back to reality," he willed, and the vibrant colors of the Factory's domain dissolved in a flash of white light.

He opened his eyes in his dorm room and the System pinged:

[System Factory Cooldown: 01:59:59].

The two-hour wait was still in effect, giving him just enough time to work on his new idea.

Adrian's mind buzzed with the concept for the formation.

It would be a rune-based lattice designed to extract mana from Magic Crystals and saturate the surrounding air.
