He blinks his eyes open as his consciousness returns. What just happened? It felt like all his life force was simultaneously released and burned up, and it happened so fast that he couldn't react in any way. He feels drowsy and weak, but simultaneously energised in a way he wasn't ever before.]
Whoa. I feel like I passed out for a moment there. Did it work?
[He lifts a hand to look at, as if he'd be able to see a change.]
