Ben rubbed his chin while he thought it through.
"So, your spell worked before, but now it is scrambled.
Can you adjust it to search for specific memories?" he asked.
Elvira nodded slowly.
"I can refine it to look for certain keywords, if that is what you mean," she said. "But with the current results, I doubt it will help."
"What about targeting a specific time frame?" Ben asked. "Like my last day on Earth?"
Elvira tilted her head and considered it.
"I can do that," she said. "You think narrowing it down will change the outcome?"
Ben shrugged.
"Only one way to find out," he said. "If it is only pulling from a set period, it should be faster and might avoid whatever is messing with the whole thing."
Elvira exhaled, then dispelled the magic.
She wove a new spell.
Her fingers moved in precise motions as she traced shimmering runes in the air.
Then she pressed her palm to Ben's forehead again.
A moment passed.
Nothing happened.
Elvira's lips pressed into a thin line.
