Speaking of missing people,[sr]is Holmes still at it?

@Holmes
Hmm, hmm.
[k]
@Holmes
Then, how much magical energy[sr]will the Grand Summon consume?
[k]
@Holmes
Normally, a summon makes use of the mana in[sr]the atmosphere and the summoner's own od.
[k]
[charaFace H 5]
@Holmes
However, if we are to summon a being capable of bringing down a god...
[k]
@Holmes
...I'm not sure even this Lostbelt's extensive reserves of atmospheric mana[line 2]which admittedly far surpasses anything to hand in Proper Human History[line 2]will suffice.
[k]
@Holmes
So if we're to complete this Grand Summon, as the Heroic Spirits called it, I presume we'll need to augment our magical energy supply somehow?

@Prometheus-Hephaestus
Of course you will.

@Prometheus-Hephaestus
Strictly speaking, this summoning ritual doesn't use a[sr]summoner. Given its vast magical energy requirements...
[k]
@Prometheus-Hephaestus
...I've designed it to make use of[sr]the infinity crystal above Olympus.

@Prometheus-Hephaestus
More accurately, I've designed it to access the infinity crystal through the Olympians' own god-made leyline, thereby providing us with an inexhaustible supply of magical energy.

@Prometheus-Hephaestus
We will use the enemy's own power against them.

...The god-made leyline.

@Holmes
That's the leyline that's kept completely[sr]under the gods' close supervision.
[k]
@Holmes
Our spells weren't able to so much as touch it, but that won't be the case for you. Then, does that mean that the god-made leyline was[line 2]

So yes, I know all there is to know about the god-made[sr]leyline, right down to its unusual vulnerability.

@Holmes
Vulnerability, you say?
[k]
[charaFadeout H 0.1]
[wt 0.1]
@Prometheus-Hephaestus
The leyline may be an invisible magical energy network that serves as a transcendent source of magical energy, but since it was never completed, it's also full of holes.
[k]
@Prometheus-Hephaestus
Its greatest vulnerability is the fact that[sr]it exists in spaces all throughout Olympus.
[k]
@Prometheus-Hephaestus
By placing special spells and formations at these spaces, we're able to draw a truly massive summoning circle that covers all of Olympus, even as the gods remain none the wiser!
[k]
@Prometheus-Hephaestus
That is the summoning circle that lays at the heart of the operation, and they are the very spells that you, and the Heroic Spirits of the alliance, have already put in place.
