Ooh, well this was enlightening. It wasn't perfect, and it looked like it wasn't quite the magical staff she wanted. According to the analysis, there was something missing in the Stones integration. She only seemed to get one shot with it - either a powerful spell, or a free mana recharge. Either could be useful in a life or death situation. Good, then. And it seemed the spear part was just as useful. She just needed to get used to using it. She may not be able to use it so well for now, but it was a good thing to have...especially the information for later usage.

Ash coiled her tail around the spear, the mana crystal being held towards the ground, with the pointy bit held upwards. She made a long, sweeping, overhead motion with the blade, extending her tails reach as far as she could. Making another attempt, she made a swiping motion behind her. Hm, with enough practice, perhaps she could cover her backside with such a movement...

A thought for later.

Lifting the spear with lesser force, she placed it against the far wall of the cavern. After that, she felt ready to try something else.

Forming another Mana Orb in her claw, she once again activated her Mana Vision and Mana Sense. Once again, she formed a Rank I Mana Orb. Observing the different colored squares, Ash took a moment to consider her options. Moving one to the center seemed to make the base Mana Orb stronger. 'Poisoning' it with an outside source seemed like it changed it, but exactly how she didn't know. Assuming this was like a 'base' element...like say, Hydrogen then it was already a very basic and common element that could be combined with a number of things to create things such as water...but then, what if it wasn't?

What if it was say, more similar to water in that it already had another element attached to it?

Which would mean she needed to get rid of any extra 'elements' jumbling it up in order to change it into something else. Assuming this didn't just make the orb dissipate and lose cohesion entirely...She was making a lot of assumptions here, but such was the scientific method. Theory, test, failure or success, new theory, new test.

Using this assumption, Ash focused on the squares that were the same purple color as the Orb had been after she had contaminated it. Slowly she began tugging at any square that didn't take that hue, removing it from the equation and watched the ensuing result.
