>Touch your eyes to make sure nothing is covering them, thus proving you have not just ben given xray vision, and certainly the ability to see once again

[Chink]

>Grab some of the brown beads near the fireplace, and put them in one of the corners.

[DaveTheGrave]

>Also saw the wooden splints on the walls

[Spaghetti7]

((no children, we must FEEL the saw))

>Concentrate very hard on the saw. Feel it in our hand, the weight of it, the material and it's strangeness.

[hops]

You feel around your face to make sure you're not seeing through some kind of blindfold. There are no blindfold. Your eyesight is quite normal.

With the saw you fish out one of the brown beads from the flame, and flick it to one of the room's corners. It cracked for a bit, then exploded into a small dust cloud. The cinnamon smell was nauseatingly strong.

Using the saw to slice into the wooden wall, it met with something that you suspect is stone. The saw is too wobbly to be able to pry out the splint.

Following the note's suggestion, you close your eye and concentrate on the properties of the saw. You are first aware of its physical properties, its weight, the steel, and then you feel the flow of the magic, and its instability in this realm.

Then streams of knowledge rush through you, soundless whispers.

Yes,yes. I'll start drawing things soon when I can get my actual laptop fixed.

>Attempt to turn the saw into a word, a word that enacts the power of a saw. As it is semi-stable, we should be able to turn it into a statement with the effect of cutting.

[hops]

You attempt to TURN the saw into its basic aspect. However, the saw was enchanted by your colleague. Right now it can only be transformed into a readable object. A saw (saying), so to say.

[Chink]

Turn the saw (tool) into a  saw (saying). A saying of great magical power, preferably.

[hops]

You TURN the saw(tool) into a saw(saying). The tool turns into a card. You find the same handwriting from the letter below the print.

Sat
Truth/Honesty/Essence
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.


I suppose that you have at least a basic grasp of our powers in this lesser world. This world was, and still is, a battleground for the conquest between the Mage Guilds. The tears created from the entrance and exit of mages had left many unbound items scattered throughout. It can be a pot, a blade, or even a stone. These objects can be manipulated and transformed according to its True Name.

However, a naturally-created unbound item can be troublesome to find. With the magic word, 'SAT', you can temporarily unbind any objects, allowing you to transform or analyze them.

But the magic of words is old magic, and may not be of use often. You will want to search out for other magic words which may be distributed by local wizards, or hidden among ruins.

By the way, you are currently in the Maze. Intels from my side cannot tell me the exact nature of this magical structure, but it was said that it is a sentient labyrinth that devour humans and carve them into other objects.

Try not to die.

[Parsely]

Turn the fire (element) into a fire (saying). (not really sure how this works)

[mastahcheese]

This kinda reminds me of a dream I once had where I was walking around in a Dwarf Fortress, and I saw everything in RAW format.

Attempt to turn couch (furniture) into couch (saying)

[hops]

The two items are bound, and you are pretty sure fire and couch does not have any definition that equates to a saying.

[Parsely]

Well there's literal fire and then there's internal fire, like the fire inside. Dunno about couches though. Yeah this is confusing.

[Spaghetti7]

Yeah, I'm confused now. Is there anything we can do with our saw saying?

[hops]

((Okay. So apparently Rey's explanation wasn't very good.

Thing is, when you're dealing with unbound items, you can transform it into its synonym, or use the other meaning of its name. For instance, I can turn a Fire(phenomenon) into a Fire(action) and dismiss someone. Or I can turn a Leaf into a Blade.)
