I haven't spoken to him in forever.

@Meta

Oh, no matter. I can provide you with a device by which you can call me. Better yet, keep that Retherpad I gave you and place it near an outlet. It'll convert excess unused electrical energy for itself. I'll add an app that you can call me with. It'll be very fancy and obvious; I assure you.

How will we do that?

@Meta

How will we communicate? Using phone calls, of course!

Myriad Reality

@Realmatic

I understand.

@Meta

You both may spend time here, out in the city, or at your homes. I will provide you with means to communicate with me.

Does it have to be a physical reason?

@Meta

By "reason" I mean the extra understanding given by Realmatic capabilities.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I don't get what makes it very difficult. Don't I just imagine it?

@Meta

It's not just imagination. When you imagine the whole cube to be red, that imagination must come with the reason that the cube should be red. That's what you use to make the cube red. But if you're converting an entire door, there's a lot of different colours that you must convert to different shades of red. That is several Realmatic transformations that are near-identical--except in boundaries. You have to hold all those different transformations in your mind. This is entirely possible because of how capabilities work, but it takes practise.

Fun.

@Meta

This simple Realmatic transformation is a gateway to learning many aspects of transformations themselves. They often must be very precise. Transforming the whole surface of a cube is very simple. But what about exactly replicating the pattern of, say, the wood on that door? *points to a door* It's not as hard as it sounds, but it is also not easy, at least at first. As you practise, creating precise boundaries for your transformations like that becomes second nature. This will be important not only for changing colours but also for many other transformations in the future. To that end, your first assignment is to start with easy shapes and patterns and work your way to harder ones. For some, this may take a few minutes or a few hours. Others may spend days or weeks improving their precision to be able to change the colour of that entire door. That is your end goal.

*Frowns and sighs*
Okay.

@Meta

Now that that is done, let us move on. Try again to change these cubes from red to green, but this time, try and add a short time limit with the transformation you assemble--that is, when you replace the red colour with the green colour in your head.

Why though?

@Meta

-Aron- If I have people with strong affinities for each of the six Magics other than Yellow with me, we can temporarily shut down Tamerlaine's reality bending so she can't do whatever she wants. Then it's an all-out fight. But it'd be a slaughter if she could keep her Realmatic capabilities.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

I don't see the difference.

@Meta

I mean, it's called "Magic" for a reason. The Orange Magic is, dare I say it, "just another magic". But it is extremely versatile, useful, and efficient.
-Aron- Also, I need you to have it in order to deal with Tamerlaine.

*Snaps*
How is this different than me just using other magic though?

@Meta

It is far more efficient in terms of magic power. Rather than actually changing the colour, temperature, phase of matter, softness, etcetera, you're convincing reality to do it for you.
