[His knife slices through the first rope on the crystal, giving him an exhilarating rush of accomplishment that logically shouldn't be there. But it doesn't seem to matter, Tartaglia's eyes becoming even more focused as the voice that brushes up against his mind continues to encourage him, slicing each rope off and idly tossing a talisman off to the side with a smirk.
