The model is dotted with rainbow shimmers under Kaylo's analysis, and as Teah goes off prayer-granting again, a dozen more appear in rapid succession - although most of those fade again almost immediately, one-time effects instead of persistent magical constructs. His attention expands and contracts and transfers from place to place almost too fast to follow by eye, giving the impression that he is in at least ten places at once, but in fact he only ever does one thing at a time.
