Matilda lost interest in the pair, now that the spectacle was over, and banished them back to the material plane, where Karl found that no time at all had passed, and the power was still flowing from his body at the rate it had been when he left.
Then, the flow reversed, as his adapted body began to suck it back in and bring the overloaded spells under control.
His body was vibrating with power, and the spaces wouldn't accept any more, but the situation had stabilized, and Karl was no longer in danger of exploding, or accidentally lashing out with an out of control skill.
Slowly, he returned to a stable state, and in the distance Lord Bomgon sighed in disappointment. That was far less spectacular than expected, and the War Champion appeared to have found a trick to deal with the overloaded energy without any of the expected outcomes.
