The attention given to this conversation was not lost on Anu'din. He wondered if he should do what he thought - [i]then again, I will likely be using it tomorrow, and the guild has hired these people for a reason. No advantage is lost. May as well.[/i]

Anu'din nodded gratefully. "[b]I see. That raises some exciting questions. I'd like to know just how these projectiles would interact with a system not necessarily designed to fire them.[/b]"

The majin's right hand suddenly unclasped, and rolled away to his forearm. The arm itself lengthened, and the mechanisms inside reshaped to fit their purpose. The hand segments had become sights for what could now be recognized as some form of gun. Anu'din gently laid his arm on the table for Karu to see.

"[b]It is unloaded, in case you were wondering. If the enchanted projectiles are proven to be safe from backfire, I would be interested in seeing if any of them could be fired from my arm here. It isn't quite a gun - it uses hydraulic pressure and compressed air. That said, it can fire bolts of metal of many sizes. Do any of the enchanted projectiles roughly match the size of this barrel? Enchanted bullets would be handy to have in a fight, especially if I didn't need an additional apparatus to fire them.[/b]"

Anu'din paused, gathering his thoughts. "[b]Also, hypothetically, what would happen if said projectiles were melted down to their base metals? Would the enchantments be destroyed? Or would the magic still reside in the material, ready to be used? Please understand, I have very little experience with the finer aspects of magic and enchantment.[/b]"
