Ral - Accumulator use

          Two more men sat on either side of a desk in the office, already drawing their weapons. Ral raised his hand, but instead of a lightning bolt only a weak spark crackled between his fingers.

          Ral spotted his accumulator and bracers in the corner and snatched them up. Slinging the thing across his back felt like a drink of cold water after a long, thirsty run. He felt his hair rising into its customary frizz, and power crackled over the bracer's mizzium studs as he strapped them on. Emmara raised a questioning eyebrow.

          "All right," Ral said. "Now we can go and find Garo."
