An Extremely Unpleasant Process (Patreon)

-You're a joke of a mage Miriilandra, but you still hold some value. The dormant Aether in you should prove very useful to me, once I extract it.

-Extract it?!

-That's right. There are ways to drain a mage of their natural magic reserves and actually liquify it! One can literally bottle the stuff and consume it to enhance magical power! It's an extremely unpleasant process, I can assure you... But I will enjoy every single moment of putting you through it.
