  2. IIlight the black candle.
  3. IIIpass the stone through the candle's smoke (not the flame) three times.

she speaks

"What drains, does not reach me. What is thrown, does not land. I carry the wall. I am still warm inside it."

she expects

Less residual exhaustion after difficult interactions or crowded spaces. A shield dulls the hit — it does not remove the need to also leave a genuinely harmful situation.
