Sylas looked down.
From a casual glance, every square looked completely identical. But there were three ways to tell where the bombs were.
The first were Runes. The fluctuations were different around them and Sylas could already feel a lot of the path from here. Just standing in place, he could map out the next seven steps before things got fuzzy for him.
The second was Aether. There was a unique Aether fluctuation as well. Using this lens, Sylas actually couldn't tell immediately. It took him three seconds to find the step to take through this method, and a full twelve before he found the one after that.
To his surprise, his answer using the second method wasn't the same as the first.
Was there more than one path out? Or was one of the methods of detection wrong?
It was odd because Sylas was certain that both of his methods were used correctly.
