While documenting fragment spawn patterns, he noticed that certain locations had subtle environmental features that weren't immediately obvious.
Some bridge sections had nearly invisible weak points that could be triggered by specific types of magical energy.
Several islands contained hidden chambers that could provide temporary storage or defensive positions.
Most importantly, the water itself wasn't uniform. Different sections had varying magical properties that could enhance or reduce specific abilities.
Areas with higher magical concentration would boost spell effectiveness, while sections with magical dampening fields would favor physical combat approaches.
These environmental factors could dramatically influence tactical outcomes, but they were subtle enough that most teams would discover them through trial and error rather than systematic observation.
Ren filed all of this information away for potential future use while continuing his surveillance mission.
