[Steven nods his head as he listens to Ryou's explanation, even follows the floating ball of paper with an intent gaze. Right... Do it with the mind, pour some of himself into it... It's a bit like the muscle memory thing. He can drive a car so long as he doesn't actively think about the specifics of how cars work, and he can put up a good fight so long as he shuts that detail-oriented brain off, too.
Don't think, just do.]
Right. Right, right, right... All good. I got this.
[He shakes out his shoulders and his arms a bit to loosen himself up, then closes his eyes. There's got to be some sort of instinct inside him that knows how to use this spell, so he just needs to tap into it. Purify water... Purify...!
Steven's fingers light up, as do his eyes when he opens them. The glow is a pure white, and to a Shade like Ryou, it might even be painful. Careful now! It spreads out from Steven's fingers, slowly inching further and further along the water until the tub's full contents are shining brightly.]
