A small stepping stone is better than not moving forward at all? Maybe there's one out there that acts like a charging station. Fills you up on something close enough to your magic so you aren't going into danger territory. One that you could keep on your ship or something.
[ If Aerith and Cloud sending troll things can possibly result in gnomes appearing in the next month, why not put it out there for some potential overwatcher in the world? ]
Like... what makes the magitech so adaptable to everyone's powers? Who's to say that you couldn't build some magitech device that does the opposite? Maybe people will donate to save a life.
[Just a slight arch of the brow before he considers it.]
Suppose there is some merit to your words. Then the question is how to devise such a thing... Though suppose that's where I come in.
[A wry grin.]
But it would help if I knew more on how the magic of this world works and if such a thing is possible, so if that's something you want to help looking into, that may be a place to start.
[ She puts her fist into the palm of her other hand and bows. ]
I am wise to the ways of the world, young'un. But I leave the tech in your hands.
I can look into it. There's that spellcaster guy who was changing things into other things. Maybe he'll let me in on some secrets after I helped him out.
You know! The guy on the Manta board this month with the spell that may or may not turn people and things into sheep. It wasn't his intent to turn people into sheep, he wanted something different.
It's a polymorph spell. That you could use on literally any target, living or not.
So if he sort of knows how to do that, then he must know at least something about magic and how it works. Right?
Aah, I avoided that one, fortunately. But not sure if that would be the right type of magic to look into.
Honestly what we'd need to know is what this magic runs on. In my world it's aether, but the energy here is different. I sit from the earth itself? The air? A product of something else? After that it would be creating a device that can pull directly from that source that we in turn can draw from.
But there would be ramifications for such a thing.
