Forgot to mention that the original explanation is in the AOTW entries thread:

Hopefully that'll explain the text a bit better, if not I've failed in what I was trying to portray. It also has the horrible original version of this, it shouldn't even be looked at.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to add some subtle touches the the right side as well.
And another thing, is it clear that the pink thing becomes a creature at the tip? I can see it easily because I made it, but I'm wondering if it's even visible because it's important that it's noticed (because it = reawake and the main focus).
