One thing that you noticed during your return trip, despite the pools of essence moving, they don't seem to move into people, or even into places where they'd likely be stepped on. During more acrobatic movement, though? Yeah, somebody's probably going to get essence burns.<br/><br/>It takes a bit to recall the operations of the Fate Machine (although you don't recall why you had decided to name it that. It must have been a compromise, or result of heavy drinking), but you kinda remember the basics. Lots of complex gauges and essence flow monitors that need to be manipulated in manners that tend to resemble actions that are not weaving Fate, but it'll spread out into the area that the manse covers.<br/><br/>Not exactly simple, but it was what you and the others built.
