[What is this strange goblin technology? Why is it not blowing up in his face?

[ He listens, takes all of that in, ruminates on it for a second with his arms crossed, thinking...

... and then nods a few times, slowly starting to grin. ]

So, for the first one, wanna just see how much kinetic energy it can take? See if it pops, or if somethin' else happens?

[ He is so here for that right now, tbh. ]

[arcanepower]

[He curls his hand beneath his chin as he looks at it.]

That may not be a bad idea. Are you going to throw it, or do you have a different idea?

[deviances]

[ He makes almost the same expression - one fist under his chin, the other hand still across his chest, considering... ]

Levitate it. Right in front of me, like a meter or so away. That cool?

[ He drops both hands, forms a circle in front of his chest and starts muttering a spell under his breath. There's a crackling sound, but no flame or crackling energy - yet. ]

[arcanepower]

I can do that. [He wiggles his fingers a little, and the crystal levitates as he commands. Belth watches Eithan curiously, his tall ears pricked.]

Ready.

[deviances]

[ Eithan acknowledges Belth with a single nod, but with his incanations as sensitive as they are, he has to focus. His chanting turns more intense, enunciated - but there's no fire, only intense, highly kinetic energy, crackling at the very edges of the seneses. This is his focus. This is what makes his flames volatile.

That energy surrounds the crystal, seeps into it equilaterally from all sides. He has no idea if it'll pop, or if it'll react in some other fashion. Either way, he's not going to stop until Belth tells him to, or something extreme happens. ]

[arcanepower]

Oh!

[Belth can see what he's doing as much as feel it thanks to his mana sense. He perks up immediately, leaning forward a little, eyes wide.]

So far it's holding up. The energy is making it very hot, though, it's trembling, it's going to--

[POPF. There it goes, exploding not violently but rather like a snowball hitting a chain link fence.]

... Huh. That was anticlimactic.

[deviances]

[ There it goes! ... Well, there it fizzles, mostly. Boo. ]

Aww. Yeah, it really was... Good thing there's two more, right? One of 'em's gotta make a decent explosion. What should the next experiment be?

[arcanepower]

[He smirks a bit.]

I think the energy you just used is a good start... Adding fire or arcane magic-- or even both-- might make something truly ridiculous.

[deviances]

[ Eithan returns that smirk with one of his own. ]

You and me, then. What do you say?

[arcanepower]

[He reaches out again, calling sparks of arcane lightning to his fingertips. The grin he gives Eithan is not very nice at all-- a shadow of a darker time.]

As if I'd say no.

[He has to take a moment to think about how to combine them, though.]

I can make a path with my arcane spell, which could allow you to wrap your fire around it before we detonate it.

[deviances]

[ Oh. That's a grin he hasn't seen before. That's... pretty dark. But honestly, it's also pretty exciting. ]

That's what I like to hear.

[ And there's a grin of his own - fangish, that demonic half of him rising to the surface. He already effortlessly has a fireball in each hand, ready. ]

On your mark.
