You'll learn more about the magic system underlying the series in future installments, I promise, but in today's chapter, I left things purposefully vague, to give you the same sense of mystery, confusion, and frustration that Jen is feeling.
One of the fun (and sometimes frustrating) parts of being a fantasy writer is coming up with names for new things. Sometimes I use Latin/Greek root words and sometimes I just use a random name generator. For vervorium, I believe I used the latter.
