Alex held Midnight in the open garden with his eyes closed as he concentrated on sending all of his Sword Intent into the sword. Midnight glowed brightly to signify the presence of the Sword Qi. 

Alex added the next Intent into the sword and specks of Sword Qi started flowing out from it, quickly surrounding his immediate vicinity, creating Sword Aura.

As it happened, Alex continued pouring in more of his Intent, this time the Intent of him embracing his sword. This was the most important part.

He had to focus all of his mental energy on adding this Intent while already using the other 2 Intents, but he still forced it to happen and that created flashes of very thin light around him.

He tried to take notice of those sparks, those Sword Qi that were forming around him, but it was difficult. He could not take away his attention as well as he thought he could.
