To learn the spell. How am I even to go about gaining a Spellcasting skill? Last I heard was how magic depended on the user.
you need to get a spec slot for spellcasting. Your character has an Affinity to Wind Magic, but no skills or specs dedicated, to it, so you use a sort of wild, untrained version right now.
vlad would buy the full kit (9 coins left), heis looking for a way to store the fleshlady's magic in some kind of spell or enchantment. He also wants to see if there is a way for that magic to synergize with his.
"Do you have any magic based on runes, carved or burned into materials or flesh, or any other such means to transmit flesh and magic together, much akin to that one lady?"
equipment bought. "taking the magic from one being and using it yourself is a tricky affair and prone to instabilities or loss of efficiency and power. There are always work-arounds. There are flesh inscribed runes that could mimic the effect, or others that could more or less replicate the magic. But to take someone else' magic and contain it in yourself, well, generally speaking you will end up with a reservoir of magic that must be replenished by going back to the source. You could add another rune to bind the source to yourself, but trapping another's soul in your own body is always a finicky matter. So, if you are looking for a specific effect, we can probably replicate that, but if you are specifically looking to draw another's magic out of them, well, that will be a bigger challenge.
Briefly ponder if I would need any sort of protection from cold weather, as I am more like to an Elemental naturally made of the element of Iron and not a mechanical construct built with with iron gears and the like. While there might be a slight structural difference between both, the material (iron) is still the same.
You think you'd probably be fine in general against the weather as is. probably don't want to stand out in the wind and rain at night in subzero weather, but it's not going to kill you.
Willingly accept the device
Ok, thanks....What is it?(sees a little girl approaching)Does it have to do with this person?
"This is a control device. The young lady is a weapon, and you are now her wielder, as long as you have the control device on your person. The device has a range of about fifty feet (meters? I forget) outside of Omega Base. As long as she is within that range, she will follow your commands faithfully. Once outside of that range, she will act on her own whims. You should take some time to get to know your new weapon's capabilities before the mission. We hope you get a chance to test her out more fully in the field as well. Any questions?"
See about getting a sandwich or some other kind of food suitable for eating on the go, then proceed hesitantly towards wherever mission stuff is handled.
you get some hard tack and some bread and a leathery meat-like slab of something, then go to prepare. You going on the cold weather campaign? Probably ought to gear up for it.
