Why is that?

@System

Things have moved away from channeling elemental control through a medium. It’s much more convenient to just channel the elements yourself with no middle man, and it has no reliance on having possession of anything specific.

Who would be supplying legitimate weapons empowered by the hidden elements? More of your practitioners looking to stop this threat?

@System

There are so many possibilities. But guns utilizing them isn't something you see at all. Not in the modern day.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What delineates between the two?

@System

The feeling is different. It’s not something you’ll be able to catch with the naked eye.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

But that soldier wasn't him, I presume.

@System

I can tell when the source is valid and when it isn’t. Wherever that gun came from, it’s legitimate.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Can you detect the Hidden Elements in use?

@System

I can feel it. That gun back there used one.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Certainly. It's a less likely possibility.

@System

*Nothing else appears in the immediate area, aside from two metal humanoids rocketing by overhead to another area of the village. The fighting sounds less like full on war and more like isolated skirmishes from different areas of the village*

I more so meant whether there would be combat here irrespective of his meddling. If he's hiding in the chaos, in other words.

@System

Maybe. A bit if a coincidence that a silent world suddenly has so much attention when he happens to be here, though, don’t you think?

*Casts an invisibility spell and follows*
It depends on whether this war is a direct result of his interaction.

@System

People who use the elements that aren’t supposed to are very uncommon. He has to be here, considering the odds.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Ah, I see. A small sacrifice, in the scheme of things. Additionally, this history would likely be destroyed without our meddling.

@System

It’s sat here fine for this long.
*Glances side to side, before looking up at the ziggurat and walking toward the center of the village*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What are you concerned it will do?

@System

Well, nothing with massive consequences. Hopefully, anyway. But the loss of history this destruction could have hurts to imagine.
