Amplified Aon Ehe

'No,' Raoden said, starting the Aon again. His fingers whipped and spun. He moved with a speed even he hadn't realized he'd achieved, re-creating the Aon in a matter of seconds. He paused at the end, hand hovering at the bottom. below the three basic lines. He could almost feel ... He stabbed the Aon and slashed his finger through the air. And a small line streaked across the Aon behind it. Then it hit him. The Dor attacked with a roaring surge of power, and this time it hit no wall. It exploded through Raoden like a river. He gasped, basking in its power for just a moment. It burst free like a beast that had been kept trapped in a small space for far too long. It almost seemed ... joyful. Then it was gone, and he stumbled. dropping to his knees.

'Sule?' Galladon asked with concern. Raoden shook his head, unable to explain. His toe still burned, he was still an EIantrian, but the Dor had been freed. He had ... fixed something. The Dor would come against him no more. Then he heard a sound like that of a burning fire. His Aon, the one he had drawn before him, was glowing brightly. Raoden yelped, gesturing for Galladon to duck as the Aon bent around itself, its lines distorting and twirling in the air until they formed a disk. A thin prick of red light appeared in the disk's center, then expanded, the burning sounds rising to a clamor. The Aon became a twisting vortex of fire; Raoden could feel the heat as he stumbled back. It burst. spitting out a horizontal column of flame through the air just above Galladon's head. The column crashed into a bookshelf immolating the structure in a massive explosion. Books and flaming pages were tossed into the air, slamming into walls and other bookcases. The column of fire disappeared, the heat suddenly gone. and Raoden's skin felt clammy in contrast. A few burning scraps of paper fluttered to the ground. All that was left of the bookcase was a smoldering pile of charcoal. 'What was that?' Galladon demanded. 'I think I just destroyed the biology section.' Raoden replied with wonder.
