The glow has Murble worried, but not immensely.

...is it getting louder and brighter in here?

Try finding another Kahigan to use, in part to see if the fishhook untangles or calms down when I'm not focusing on it.

"I see."

What was it I needed to make again?
Ash:Fire, Time or Fire, Shadow.
Bone:Life, Time
Tar:Life, Earth, Time
Steam:Fire, Water




((Your quote tags are messed up.))

Dan stares the broken flower. "You could have told me earlier."

Off the flower goes, flying over Dan's head. Let's try to locate and use the actual Me.

((Thanks, fixed))

"No problem with getting some exercise."

[-] You locate your Me in a crude, yet functional way. Since it isn't used for physical manipulation, it can't hold up the snow or be sprayed with moisture. But what you do learn, trying to fold your Go while imagining another Khagian sprouting from your back... is that Kahigan can always collide with each other. Your Go wraps around your other Kahigan and, with all the snowflakes and frost on its surface, is clearly visible itself. So this time, you can see where your Me is headed, and you direct it into the flower.

[-] You feel something inside the flower. Something you can wrap your Me around to discern its shape. It's like a strand of beads, but surprisingly large, bigger than the flower itself. It seems as if the soul were bigger than the flower, but it could also be your spatial perception.

The glow has Murble worried, but not immensely.

...is it getting louder and brighter in here?

You try to imagine another Kahigan out of your back. It's hard, but you feel it there. Something's keeping it inside, some kind of force.

You equip yourself with the power of magical catalysts and affix them to the training staff. Your objective, this time, is not to annihilate anything, using the Sha for purposes of destruction. Nay, your goal... is to make arts and crafts.

Objectives:
A letter burned into a block of wood (you have the wood block)
A glass vase
An ingot of steel (you have some iron-rich ore)

Current Spells:
Vukanosha (Creates ash) - Haven't used
Firaburzsha (Emits a burst of fire) - Haven't used
Jetsha (Directs wayward energy into a jet) - Haven't used
Basic Fusion (Fuse objects into an elemental conglomerate) - Haven't used

You also have with you a +5 Pendant of Fire Resistance to hang at around the level of your heart. So long as it stays in place, you should be protected from the fallout of your abilities... should be.

Lightly touch my staff with my Sha, like I did earlier. It may conduct away from the staff instead of into it, but I figure it will glow like before.

Use the glowing staff to carve 'Oppositioner' into the wood.

Try to use my Go to help gently unhook my... other thing. Me or equivalent, probably?

So, Tar.  Life, then add Earth and Fire, roughly 75% Earth, 25% Fire.

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

Try using Jetsha to burn the letter C into the wood, keeping the staff well back so that only the tip of the jet is close to the surface of the block.

Try using Jetsha to burn the letter C into the wood, keeping the staff well back so that only the tip of the jet is close to the surface of the block.

The spell is affixed to the staff. But activating it, seems tricky enough. You decide to try and extend a Kahigan over your shoulder and into the staff head, focusing on the cylinder labelled 'Jet.' [-] Rather than a jet of fire, however, you receive a second sight. Or a third eye, if that makes sense. You're using the staff as a third eye, and this eye gives you a very narrow but magnified view of something in the distance, as if you were looking through your staff, though slightly downward at an angle. Each blade of grass is as large as your hand.

Lightly touch my staff with my Sha, like I did earlier. It may conduct away from the staff instead of into it, but I figure it will glow like before.

Use the glowing staff to carve 'Oppositioner' into the wood.

You know enough about Kahigan now to realize that the Sha's point of origin is located higher than the other two Kahigan. You raise one over your head and grab your staff with it, and it glows cherry red with warmth. It etches the letter C quite crudely, but when you present the finished item to the professor, he decides it's good enough. He seems to think you used a spell to do it, instead of the Sha alone.

Try to use my Go to help gently unhook my... other thing. Me or equivalent, probably?

You unhook your Sa Re (you think that was what it's called?), and notice that the room is once again as dim as it was. The Kahigan disappears, and people stop shouting at the exact moment.

So, Tar.  Life, then add Earth and Fire, roughly 75% Earth, 25% Fire.

Trial 1. Life and Earth mix immediately before you add the fire. The hexagonal gemstone representing earth merges with the sprout, causing its stem to thicken, and its surface to petrify into a bark-like feature. Its leaves split into branches.
Adding a little bit of fire, you notice steam filling the flask, and the wooden sapling dries up and turns petrified.

Trial 2. You try to add both Earth and Fire in at once, and you notice Earth combining with the Fire, gaining a metallic surface. The metal then refuses to combine with the Life sample. Perhaps Metal is inimical to Life?

Trial 3. You try mixing them all at once. The Fire preferentially favors the Life over Earth, and mixes in with that as Earth mixes in with it at the same time. The Life seems to combine with both at once... turning black as coal.

"While I can't say I like the weapon-drawing, I do agree with your words. A mage who doesn't use their knowledge for other's benefits, and just try to get wealthy, are just as bad as nobles who hoard their wealth in their castles while their subjects starve. I was just pointing out that most people could care less about altruism, which explains why magic can cause all the issues with town being destroyed, etc."

"Carazhan fell by a petty squabble between two gangs of magicians, if you would be so informed," explains the professor.
"So, a lack of altruism perhaps, but the historical consensus was that it was a power struggle."
"That only proves my point. There can't be a power struggle if those in power reinforce their positions with magic. Right?"

"That's not the only possible end result, now is it?" Sir Laissez Faire Approach interjects.
"Carazhan may have been a tragedy, but one could argue that rational parties wouldn't be so careless. Carazhan was overtaken by a craze not unlike witch hunts and revolutionary outbursts."

Hm... so hooking her Sa Re into itself boosted her perceptions. Interesting.

Try hooking the plant with my Sa Re.

The Sa Re enters the plant. You think. It didn't feel the same as the Go, and the plant itself doesn't move, but you know the Sa Re has entered, as you're starting to see the Kahigan itself as a faint green object, even without the heightened perception. You feel something like a row of beads, and pulling it out of the flower lets you see it more clearly than you can see a Kahigan: a string of letters, about a hundred characters long. It looks like gibberish, and due to the nature of the Higan language it's not possible to read it without knowing the start point and orientation.

"Professor? I believe I've succeeded at drawing out the plant soul."

Now for the tricky part- try putting the letters back in.

Fire/Life gives you steam, some smoke from residual burning, and ashes, which then combine with Earth to create a glassy obsidian.

"Professor? I believe I've succeeded at drawing out the plant soul."

Now for the tricky part- try putting the letters back in.

You lower the string of letters back into the blade of grass. Normally, it seems pass right through the table (one would wonder what happens when you drop it into the earth). Placing it into the blade of grass, though, you encounter some resistance, and you see the letters physically disappearing into the grass, as if getting absorbed.
