The spell will hold sure and deep unless these things come to pass. Three keys to find, to fit, only by mortal hands to turn. Three thousand years in which to learn. An instant more and souls will burn.

You can’t explain what that more is, but you know, if you lose it, you’ll never be able to fill those empty spaces in just the same way again.
