Drawing in a shuddering breath, I tightened my grip around the still-glowing moonstone, feeling its warmth melt into my palm. Then, before I could second-guess myself, I pressed the crystal down onto the open pages and watched in fascination as the glow flared brilliantly.

For an endless, breathless moment, the room was consumed in a blinding light that stung my eyes and made me grind my teeth.

But then, just when I began to fear I had made some catastrophic mistake, the illumination slowly ebbed away. Both the book and the moonstone stopped glowing; for now, at least.
