Even with the assistance of a thought mage, being able to create a device to let the communicate in S'toric by themselves in just seven days was remarkable, to say the least. Evidently, Nellara wasn't the only one amazed by that fact, judging by how excited Kareet herself seemed to be on the very second she heard Vigdis communicating with them by using her strange bracelet and how Kerchak quickly asked for a meeting to be arranged with the doctor. Vigdis' quickly started her explanation about the previous events as soon as she was able to confirm that her bracelet worked well. The first matter Vigdis wished to address was her reaction to Gar'Tan's magic, which was somewhat understandable, judging the nature of thought magic. [color=d3c28b]"Your reaction is understandable, seeing as it is your first time dealing with a thought mage. Thought magic, when misused, can indeed be extremely dangerous. Although I would like to vouch for the Inquisitors and the thought mages that work with them. Their neutrality is a well established fact in Kanth-Aremek."[/color] Nellara said, nodding her head. Ixtaro was also quick to reply to Kareet's questions, reaffirming that the humans indeed had no magic. Instead, both the ship and the strange bracelet seemed to be a result of something they crafted themselves, without the help of any magic at all. [color=d3c28b] "Which seems to be unlikely, considering our society focus much more on magic than on crafting... At least if we don't factor in any knowledge shared by you humans..."[/color] Nellara said to herself, reflecting as she heard Ixtaro's words regarding how they too should be able to craft similar artifacts in the future. [color=d3c28b]"If we consider that at least some of the principles used in your technology can also be applied to magic, there is a very good possibility of a creation of a new field of study that could revolutionize the way we see and use magic... Which would happen to be exactly Kareet's field of study instead of mine."[/color] Nellara said, reflecting to herself before she turned to Kareet, realizing that if she started such conversation, it would quickly leave her area of expertise. Regardless of how fascinating the humans' 'machines' were, their complexity also seemed to bring them a rather difficult time repairing them, something that was quite obvious if one observed the Jotunheim even for a moment and how the humans inside never stopped working. Even Ixtaro and Vigdis themselves seemed to also be relaying orders to other humans inside despite being talking with them. According to Vigdis' words, there were still some issues with their machines that they were not able to solve yet, as she explained while, for some reason, she hammered a metal spike into the ground. The explanation for such seemingly random act would follow soon after Vigdis was done hammering the metal spike. According to her, most of the humans' 'machines' worked by using the same natural phenomenon that was responsible for lightning. 'Electricity' as they called. [color=d3c28b]"To think the humans were able to harness, control and use lightning despite having no magic is truly impressive... How does these... 'batteries' work? I wonder if a similar concept could be used with magic... Perhaps to 'store' magic to be used later..."[/color] Nellara said as she heard about how the humans had found a way to even store electricity for later use, by using devices called 'batteries'. Even though Nellara wasn't exactly a scholar like Kareet, she knew very well that such information could definitely be used by their own scholars. Without speaking a word, she turned to Kareet, giving a discreet nod towards her. Both of them should definitely pay very close attention at Vigdis and Ixtaro's explanation about such phenomenon and how the humans were able to harness it to their own goals... Particularly how they were able to 'store' it by using batteries. Vigdis' experiment consisted in Nellara using her lightning magic into the metal spike, which would allow Vigdis to measure it and know if Nellara's electricity would be able to be used to charge the humans' 'batteries'. [color=d3c28b]"Very well. Please tell me when to stop, Vigdis."[/color] Nellara said as she approached the metal spike Vigdis indicated after she said for her to strike the metal spike as hard as she could. Giving a few steps forward, Nellara approached the metal spike. The moment she extended her hand towards the metal spike, even before she touched it, strong arcs of electricity started jumping from her claws to it, crackling through the air with an audible noise for a moment before Nellara finally grabbed the spike.
