As Felix briefed everyone else, Travis peered over his findings with their most recent test. It was a success of course but it did introduce a slight snag. They had made the rune as efficient as it can be with only a necessary number of redundancies to have strong stabilizing influence over Felix's predicament. But after all that, the rune could only remain active for two hours. Felix described it more of a non-issue though Travis was hesitant to accept the fact outright. Considering just how long they were out on their last adventure to seize [i]Fantasia[/i], two hours may not be enough to cover their upcoming expedition, assuming of course that they just brought only one mana crystal. The only answer as Felix mentioned, was to bring a sufficient number of mana crystals to extend the time Felix could operate outside the mansion.

Travis took the time to study over Felix's training vest which was the object of which the rune would be applied to and produced a diagram on how it would the rune would inscribed. Much of the work however was done on the vest itself as he noted the focal points over the vest and the amount of coverage the rune would have. At this point, it was only a matter of simply applying the rune.

The Untalent then turned to one of his other projects; something he had been working on the side when he had the free time. While he and Felix's runic spell demanded the majority of their concentration and efforts, he hadn't forgotten about Zuri's condition. However her problem was complex and required a different approach than what he had took before. Zuri's problem was a curse of unknown origin being bestowed upon her. A [i]curse[/i]. Travis didn't fancy curses too much. They had blaringly different behaviors when compared to a runic lock, despite some similarities. Additionally, curses held more rules, specific ones that defined how they functioned and usually benefiting the caster in the end or simply having a neutral yet long-lasting impact on the victim it was applied to.

When initially looking at the problem, Travis simply had nothing to go by; Zuri's curse was absolved of any distinguishable attributes he could go by.

That was however, until he had earlier on got in touch with some of his Academia team members. It was a yearly procedure where his research team would share their discoveries and other findings with one another to in order to critique and improve the new spells before being officially published. Travis had supplied his knowledge surrounding his mana-efficient formulae, to the group as his offering for the get-together. The rest provided their own work too and Travis then found what he had been looking for. A small collaboration had begun a year prior between two Scholars, a Ruin Mage, and headed by a Cleric. Their work was a formulaic spell capable of virtually surveying, probing, and even dissecting incantations and enchantments. This also included curses as well. Apparently, the spell, after analyzing whatever manaform invocation assigned to it, could then literally deconstruct it's target, effectively dispelling it regardless of any pre-established rules. 

Their problem however was that the formula lacked a platform as the spell could only be deployed via a lengthy incantation. Travis, almost nonchalantly, offered to apply their formulae into his own runic architecture as a mode for better deployment. The others eventually agreed to this agreement and in turn, he would receive the perfected product after it had been finalized. After a month, he received the information dump gathered and issued by his Academia research team. The dump included a plethora of research notes and spells awaiting further testing. While the load contained many useful assets, it was the runic spell, the Causality Scryer, he had been waiting for.

At the work table while Felix still gave his announcement, he had the spell work against an incantation simulator at mastery level to ensure its effects were legitimate. Each night before, he would run a new challenge for the spell and by the next morning, Travis would find that the Causality Scryer was successful in its assigned task. Funnily enough, he found that the spell had would have finished minutes after initiating the test. From all the experiments, he couldn't find any reason for the spell not being up to trial of eliminating Zuri's curse.

After verifying the spell's repeated success, he turned to face Felix, having completed his speech, "The pretty much sums it up for me," he began, "however I am curious what kind of opposition we may run into."
