>"Yeah. The results weren't as astounding as I had hoped by far, but I've been able to confirm a couple things. Please tell me you've made a breakthrough."

Pride and such; you solved a problem she herself was unable to. She may be pleased with the result, but unwilling to acknowledge that your role was more pivotal than her own. No matter."
>"I'm not certain I would call it a breakthrough, as such, but it has proved interesting. I haven't been able to learn as much as I would like, but I have still discovered a few things." She picks the lattice up. "The energy contained in this is not magical in the typical sense. Well, I suppose it is, but it is not the latent traces of a spell, as such. I do believe you are right when you suspected that those slivers led to somewhere else. It is not teleportation exactly, but rather as if... well, I must qualify that this is largely supposition, but it seems as though something may have torn a bridge between here and elsewhere. I do not know
