She inclines her head in pleased assent. "In that case... I have only used it a few times, allow me to consult my notes."
She reads her own code, extracting the mathematical notation, and mentally reconstructing that into a spiral floating in the darkness of her mind; floods the spiral with thanergy, triggering the spell. She gnaws her lip as she ponders, then closes her eyes.
"You must focus on what you're doing at each stage--as an adept I believe you will find it simple enough, but you must remember the absolute chaos that lies behind even the calmest heart, on a biochemical level. If I am overwhelmed I will have to break the connection."
And then she reaches out for the tight, coiled bundle of thalergy that is Moiraine Sedai's brain. Biologically, fundamentally, Moiraine is a living human and Harrow and Gideon and everyone she has ever met are descended from Resurrected ones; there are differences, and the feeling of thanergy settling under the Aes Sedai's skin may be cold and unwholesome.
For her part, Harrowhark has definitely begun to sweat.
