Pulse

A marble-sized ball, only visible on the seventh plane or higher, that floats around an area and returns to its caster. Its color upon return signals the strength of the magic in the area, the lowest being blue, and the highest being indigo.

I dodged the Pulse that came over my head easily and continued on my flight.

Expectation

1. What one thinks will happen in the future.
2. What one wants to happen in the future.

The only word known to be both a synonym and antonym to itself, because an optimist will expect their expectations to be met, while a pessimist will not expect their expectations to be met.

Ronald fell short of my expectations, but I kind of expected him to.
