wind answers without being instructed, and the broken pieces of his staff clatter up onto the bed. jack scrambles for them when he sees how much the magic has taken out of kozmotis, focuses and slams the broken ends together. it doesn't take more than once like it did after pitch broke it. blue light shines brightly, swirling around and mending the totem. the temperature drops dangerously like it had when jack had been on the vengeance. ]
