You wouldn't know without seeing it. Only when he saw the Source Sea that had become utterly thin did Goni realize just how terrifying the previous wild expenditure had been.
The once-viscous Source Sea was now almost transparent. The solid pillars within it had been reduced to little more than floating foam.
