Grammar
A sentence construction question
HI!
How would you describe a scene, in a science fiction way, to say that an innate energy of some object(A), ___ to another source of energy(B) and then created intercollected echo/vibration/reaction or whatever you can come up, in a physcal form of glowing light that taken place between two of them(A& B).
My example is this, although I'm pretty sure it's not understandable:
"Soon as A touched the 'B', their interaction triggered a magical chemistry, the 'B' started glowing and _____ unknown energy which created an _____ reinteracting with the innate energy of A's as like the 'B' was calling for her."
react/interact isn't good becasue they're given no details, some words like 'vibrating' is ok but I'm not sure people will understand.
Thank you in advance!

My feeling is that if you are writing sci-fi, you can invent/apply a word to express what is happening, and trust to your context to tell the reader what it means. I see no reason why "vibrate" could not work, nor indeed why "react" or "interact" can't be used. There is no absolute right or wrong in this context.

Thank you Feebs11!
Thesaurus was the first place I went, however I would like to know if there's common ground for this sitsuation, someone might have read a similar concept and would like to tell me that there might be a easiliest yet detailed way to tell the readers what's going on, without flaw.
