And without looking for the answer, the boy circulated magical energy in his hand.
With the sound of grinding gears, shadows seeped out of the hole in his chest and enveloped his arms.
Magic circles appeared where his missing elbows should be and his chest started sending magical energy through his floating forearms to their focal points in his fingertips, amplifying the energy throughout the travel.
The shadows enveloping his arms form further magic circles as they expand, adding second and third layers to the elbows and in front of his palms.
Furthermore, the shadow stretching from his back collected crystalline shards from the atmosphere to grow into a pair of wings, then started drawing a tridimensional emblem in the air.
Flueger, a mage observing the scene from a distance, reported it to his employer as follows:

Common sense tells me I’m probably wrong
But I think that thing was... Magic Circuits... no, an externally expanded Magic Crest
This thing’s on a level beyond those monstrous Magic Crests from ancient houses
The Magic Crest broke out and is now one... no, countless independent living beings
Real-time Magic Crest growth... Nah, sorry man, I gotta be jumping the gun with these theories

A report that made its sender question his own sanity.
