Aksai didn't stop.
He kept casting the spells again and again.
Each time he used them, he improved something—a little more spell-casting speed, fine-tuned using the Neural Link Fabric. A little more control, using Aether Vision—also known as Soul Sense—in conjunction with Spirit Sense.
With these fine adjustments, his Spirit essence expenditure for each spell became well-optimized. He could now better control the potency of each Spirit spell by regulating the amount of Spirit essence used, as well as by casting through intent.
His mind stopped thinking. His body remembered. His intent sharpened. The Spirit spells became part of him.
After what felt like hours—or maybe days—he wasn't sure, the spells began to flow into one another.
The Earth Control spell formed barriers and traps. Vines shot from the ground and gripped his foes. Ice formed at their tips.
