Ughhhhhhhh fine. Grey spends 1 fate point on Maintaining the magic or lack of magic permeating his body and if it doesn't work this time Grey just teleports back. If it does work he discharges the spell in his needle: Maintain the health and well being of Grey and every Homunculous that is allied with Grey and is within 2 miles of him (1), teleporting back afterwards.

You maintain your current magical state. Then you release the spell. It promptly yellows the leaves and grass, withers the flowers, and blackens the moss within maybe 100 feet. You, however, are ok.
You teleport back to the group.

"I'll be with you in just a moment. I just want to get some information on this object before moving on."

Debby asks the pond for the shiny thing. Hugh eats (drinks?) the pond. Aaron considers the shiny thing.
The result is a now dry depression with the shiny object sitting clearly visible. The shiny object actually turns out to only one of many shiny objects. The bottom of the pond, which is the bottom of a depression in the center of a clearing, is filled with bodies. With the water and a layer of soil missing shining armor and unbelievably ancient bones lay exposed. There looks to be about two dozen here, laying around and atop one another, scattered randomly. In the center of them, jutting straight up, is the shining object the team noticed at first. Multiple of the corpses have their bone fingers wrapped around it. It appears to be a lance, judging by what can be seen as it remains half buried in the mud. It has the long handle of a lance, encompassing bell-like guard of a lance, and the tapering metal spike of a lance. But the handle has no wrapping, no grip to hold on to, and the end cap is splayed like the flight on a dart.
Aaron's considerations leaves him with the following conclusion. This is a weapon, some evolutionary ancestor of the needle they're wielding right now. In some ways clumsy and inefficient, in others far more potent. This is a weapon designed to kill mages and their creations. And its like did so by the thousands.
"I guess, though I want to focus on the glove for now."
