"I mentioned the light vein earlier - you didn't listen then, but I would really suggest you do now." He crouches down, one finger tapping at the ground below him. "The light vein is an underground river of sorts; it can't be reached merely by digging, but it is there. It isn't made up of water, either.
"The substance flowing through it is known as kouki - it's the essence of life itself, in the form of a liquid. Areas with a strong light flow will flourish, though, if it's too strong, it may become overwhelming to humans. If the flow is too weak or far away, life will wither and die on the surface.
"There is a strong light vein in this area; I believe that may be the catalyst you've sensed. And your attempts to access it are disrupting both your body and the vein itself."
