[Her concentration returns to the glass, trying to think of how to do this. It's hard to think of magic coming from outside of her and into this, when she's spent so long doing the opposite in the bits she uses magic in her work. But she looks intently at it, trying to think very hard about heat and bubbling and just getting it right--
It doesn't manifest as it should, but what may be interesting to Harlan is that what shows up in her hands looks more like arcs of static electricity, like the snap of shocking yourself, more than fire or warmth. She scowls at it.]
