[He'd missed it the last couple times because Fenris was so afraid, didn't draw enough mana from himself even to cast a real spell, much less pull from around him. But this time he can feel it. A tug, a strange pulling sensation that drags mana from his skin. No, not his skin but the tattoos in it, dragging the mana from the lyrium. He doesn't know what to make of it in the first moment he feels it.
The next he's doubled over, his skin feeling hot and stretched. It's not pain so much as overwhelming and thus being translated into something indescribable. His senses don't know what to do with the new sensation, and in trying to figure it out he curls in on himself, missing entirely that Fenris did, in fact, succeed at lighting the candle.]
lemme know if I need to change anything on how the lyrium works
