"Indeed...huh...didn't think I'd see my self actually 'breaking' a Paragon..." Travis said aloud, sounding somewhat amused with the unexpected turn of events. Still, his rune had backfired in a way that made the Paragon itself nearly useless; a dilemma that he undoubtedly felt guilty of conjuring.

But he knew he couldn't be too hard on himself for this unanticipated problem. Neither he or Felix could have possibly foreseen how the rune could have had such a negative effect over the Paragon. Granted though, with little understanding over the Paragons and how they truly functions functioned, and outcome such as what they witnessed could never have been predicted. 

Despite what seemed like a colossal setback, Travis could now begin to see what may of gone wrong, "While writing the rune, I had included several redundant verses and lattices that were meant to maximize its overall efficiently and potential of repelling any and all auras the Paragon could pick up on..."

Travis then stared at the top of the chest where his run was now imprinted too, "It seems I've overestimated the Paragon's competence in how it can respond to other auras and establishing the necessary ley-lines to make interfacing possible."

"I suppose this means we have stumbled upon an actual limit of the Paragon. Now that we know isolating it entirely isn't the way to go, I could work on a more exceptional version of the rune with a few leeways to at least allow the necessary aura correspondence to occur."
