Komamisa (she hasn't posted here yet) and I were planning to discuss and possibly blend our character backgrounds, as Ren's abilities as an Ouramancer and her character's demon problems tie in nicely... Except, she hasn't been able to talk since I first sent her the PM. She's been focused on other things. Until we can have our discussion, I'm a little stuck. :) I shouldn't complain, though. I can be patient, and it hasn't even been a full day since then. EDIT: Automancy is the manipulation of non-organic [i]structures[/i]; that's the key word. Stones, crystals (even ice, I'm sure, though you cannot keep it from melting without Outsorcery), metals, things that are neither living nor energetic.
