[Outside the temple walls, where we should be now. Which is hopefully far enough away from the circle that we won't have too bad a backlash. You can make it whatever you wish really, I just suggest stone or diamond because they're non-conductive and strong enough, and I don't know the strength or hardiness of crystal. I just know that its crazy sharp, which sounds like a hazard and a half. Although I wouldn't mind making the prow out of a sharp crystal, that way we can ram the ship into stuff like a giant axe...]

Crystal is inferior to diamond, also conductive. Did some experiments with that.

rune people. I am, aren't I?))

Woah, what the hell is that!? Who the hell are you people?

Back off to the temple doorway. The creepy temple is probably a heck of a lot safer than whatever they're doing.

"We're just scientists, and that is a test project. Kindly remove yourself from the area, we don't rightly know what will happen when it goes off. This preliminary test should yield some excellent results, though."

"MY GOLD!!! Door, you're about to enter a whole new world of emotional pain! That's right. Let's see how well you hold up when your buddy Mr. Wall over there tastes my golden wrath!"

Mourn lost golden butterfly. Form remaining gold into a massive battering ram and send it through the wall, being very careful not to hit the door with it.

Runic science!

"Hmm this door seems to be somewhat electric.  Perhaps it may be opened by a magnet or another source of electricity?"

Ozzy casts "Ku-karua" and tries rubbing the resulting material against the door.  He searches for anything that might be a keyhole or a sigil or any other unusual marking that might signify where someone might open the door.  If he finds one then he'll press the magnet against it in random patterns.

If that fails to do anything he will try the same thing with what he gets from casting "Rothon".

Way ahead of you, whoever you are!

Nice to know, thanks! Although crystal being conductive confuses me. But it does give me an idea for an ultra-sharp electrified railgun type thingy. Even if I had the words/pot/want to make such a thing though, I'd never use it. Also, I don't really know crystal's puncturing power, for all I'd know it would shatter on anything stronger than steel, which isn't something useful.

Well if we think about it crystal shatters on contact right? So imagine hitting someone with a warhammer made out of it. Not only would it hit like a truck it would also shatter right into wherever you hit with it. Therefor it causes more damage in the long run however it isn't that useful to have such fragile weapons. If you could create a lot of them at will then I would be VERY scared.

((I think Corsair found a way to use beams to mass produce weapons, the process would need a shock dampener to prevent shattering or it could just be fired at someone, though either way it requires 4 potency. I think I may be able to create several single-element crystal weapons by creating a levitating mass of a water-sand mixture and firing the weapon beam directly into it. Another word combination I know should be able to generate weapons that generate crystallized projectiles but my records indicate only Derm has enough pool to summon it.))

Just derm now, singularbyte cost me two pool by proving his own ineptitude when it comes to projectile trajectories and gravity.

Just to point out, crystal weapons are a LOT more effective when you can make a new one every turn few minutes.

...How long is a turn supposed to be?

((Short enough for only a few attacks and counter attacks to occur in melee combat but long enough for a bear to die from alcohol poisoning induced by binge drinking.))
