Each Joint Cast showcases a unique blend of Kari's White Lux with her partners' distinctive powers, creating spells that provide safety, knowledge, and strategy.

Conceived amidst their battles with the Stygian Snake in the Old Coven, this Joint-Cast was crafted to provide a haven where they could evade the serpent's minions and shield themselves from intrusion. To cast The Place, Kari and Yoko join hands at the center of the chosen location, their auras intertwining in White and Orange Lux. As they focus, a shimmering aura of yellow light emanates from their joined palms, spreading outward to envelop the area. The barrier solidifies into a protective shell, imbued with their combined strength and heightened perception. Empowered by their respective Lux, Kari and Yoko weave a protective aura that fortifies the physical defenses of their surroundings and grants them comprehensive insight into anything within its bounds. The sanctuary's walls, structures, and natural elements have enhanced durability. Stones become unyielding, capable of withstanding tremendous force, while wood gains an unbreakable resilience akin to iron. The air thickens, forming a barrier that deflects projectiles and dissipates the impact of magical assaults.

As Kari and Yoko deepen their connection to "The Place," their ability to gather information intensifies. Initially, they receive glimpses of random knowledge about those present, sensing emotions, intentions, and essential details. Over time, their awareness expands exponentially, evolving from sporadic insights to a near-omniscient understanding of their surroundings and the beings within. The sanctuary becomes a conduit of information, where every corner and every inhabitant whispers their secrets to Kari and Yoko.

Yoko begins by projecting her Orange-Lux into their surroundings. Kari then weaves her White Lux into Yoko's energy, blending it into a dance of colors swirling around them like sand stirred by a gentle breeze. Together, their combined Lux creates a tapestry of light, merging into shapes that manifest echoes of past events. These spectral projections unfold like holograms, transporting Yoko and Kari through glimpses of different times and places. Within their shared aura, the scenes of history unfold unpredictably: from epic battles to tender moments of love and from moments of loss to profound discoveries.

Strengthened by their bond, white orbs materialize and spread outward in a network from the pair, branching into the surrounding space. Each orb resembles a floating soul, emitting a ghostly, shifting light. These orbs serve as rudimentary sentry nodes, extending up to several hundred meters in every direction. They can discern friend from foe, alerting Kenshiro and Kari to potential threats. When an adversary or unknown entity comes within eight meters of any orb, it triggers a detonation. Upon exploding, the orbs release radiant bursts of white light that pierce through barriers, illuminating the auras of nearby beings. This illumination reveals the presence of individuals even through solid walls. Additionally, the explosions generate a powerful kinetic force capable of sending a grown man flying.

With their bond strengthened, twelve white orbs materialize around Kenshiro. Each orb resembles a floating soul, emitting a ghostly, shifting light and leaving behind a wispy trail. These orbs act as miniature Observation Points, granting Kenshiro a 360-degree view of his surroundings. They circle him, attuned to his thoughts, and follow his every command. At Kenshiro's will, the orbs can launch themselves at enemies. Upon impact, they explode in a wave of radiant white light, illuminating the auras of nearby beings through walls. The explosions also generate a kinetic force that expands outward and is powerful enough to launch someone.[/indent]

Kari starts the spell by creating an Observation Point. The eye appears as a glowing, translucent orb with shifting colors and faint electrical arcs, hinting at its future function. Elsa then channels her electromancy through the Observation Point, transforming it into a conduit for electrical energy. This enables the eye to deliver powerful lightning strikes or create electrical fields nearby. Elsa’s lighting can be used for offensive attacks and interacting with the environment, such as disrupting magical defenses or activating electrical mechanisms. Combining observation and lightning requires careful coordination and concentration from Kari and Elsa. Their mental and magical strain limits the spell's effectiveness, with prolonged use potentially leading to fatigue or diminished power.
