After I had finished briefing them I took my place in the center of the circle. They each then stood on one of the seven magic circles. One by one they each began circulating their magic.

The magic energy began to flow through the seven circles creating a network and engine of power.

One by one barriers began appearing over and around the many layers of magic circles.

"Wait, how many barriers did you integrate into the cicle?!" Glynda questioned.

"Focus!" I shouted back, "don't lose concentration. Sync your output. The magic has to be steady and controlled."

This power accumulated and melded together before flowing into circle upon which I stood. I could feel the fluctuations in their magic output. Some were like a small stream others like a giant river."

"Focus, sync your output," I cried out.

Slowly but surely the pulsations in magic leveled off and stabilized.

"Good keep it like this. Now we can move to the next part." I threw my hand up in the air motioning as if holding something.

A pulse began to echo through the room like that of a heartbeat.

"Is that . . . !" Okafor cried out.
