I very quickly learned that this Saphirian Pearl really - and I mean seriously - augmented your meridians and Qi pathways to a very fine degree, forcing extremely precise usage of your Qi if you so decided to make any use of it whatsoever.
Simply trying to move my Qi from my Spirit Root over towards my fingers on either side took an immense amount of concentration, let alone consolidating it, shaping it, and then pushing it out into the wider world to accomplish any sort of technique.
I had been out here for over an hour already and all I had managed was one pathetic sputtering of sparks alongside a brief gust of wind that felt even less than what I could do with my mouth, so I really wasn't that optimistic about all of this.
