His attention gradually returned.
Zong Shen first put away the [Darkspawn Broom (Unknown)], then looked at the ball of flame floating off to the side.
The flame possessed only light and shadow, yet gave off no heat, like a flame that had been stripped of its warmth.
There was fire, but no blaze—only light and shadow remained.
Its light was not particularly bright, either.

This flame was indeed a good choice as a material.
It also seemed to possess
