The heat was intense across her body. She was having trouble channeling enough mana to maintain her pocket of air. Why was this world so much harder to channel in? Sure, no universe was easy compared to her home, but this one always seemed especially hard.

She felt a drip of lava hit her arm and screamed in pain. This had the added benefit of boosting her focus. She clamped down on her core and squeezed even more mana into her shield, not wanting another mishap.

Stolen novel; please report.

There it was, swirling in the center of the lava flow. It was an untouched mana well. The thing she had been searching for for decades. She pushed her bubble towards it. Her bubble popped on contact.

The heat became unbearable as she felt the lava flow all around her. The well enveloped her before all was lost, and she was bathed in the strangely cooling sensations of life.
