Creation Magic And You (Not An Actual Shop Title)

[wewillwewill]

[The original video post.

Later after the video post expires or is lost in a line of other posts, there will be notices tacked in convenient places where crafters generally place their notices. For the record yes, it says much the same thing as the video did. Just without voice and pictures. Also yes, he could write an advert form. He decided not to.]

For those of you who do not know me, I am Elidibus.

After some consideration, I've decided to offer the use a portion of the creation magicks of my kind to those interested. The wall clocks Tidus has placed in several carriages of the train are an example of what I can do. Two of the original sizes and design were much smaller and simpler. I can break down what you provide into aether and reshape it. Or with some effort, adjust its size, color and shape.

Provided materials and an object of what you desire to have created, I can also make duplicates. Repairing that which is broken is also in the realm of possibility. The complexity of any request will determine what time and materials I'll need and whether I'm able to assist you.

Be warned, if the color or element you wish to incorporate is something foreign to me, I must have an example of it provided. I will not work on living beasts or people. And to create something from naught but aether I provide is something I will only do for the sake of emergencies.

For those of you who already provide your crafting skills to the passengers, I do not wish to replace the services you already provide. But I may be able to compliment your efforts with specific types of material or color needed for your work.

If anyone has questions, pray reach out to me and I will answer them within reason. If you have a request, you may contact me either in person or through messages. The payment for this work will vary depending on the request and what it's intended for. Barter in the form of favors, trade of services and the use of your points for goods are all acceptable.

Elidibus decides to try it, after a look toward Kiyoiri to establish if it's okay. In this manner it'll be easier to observe if it's his own aether that fuels the key. The passphrase is stated after touching the matchlock again and as designed it separates to component parts.

"That seems a risk if anyone with the knowledge of the phrase and able to touch the weapon is capable of uttering it," he remarks. Though there may be a reason for it and before saying anything else on the matter, he'll give the young girl a chance to answer.

His his focus on the disassembled weapon is on the component which is (at at least once was) meant to accept ammunition before Ayumi developed a talent for using her own magic with the weapon. Whether it is simply an empty chamber or has a 'permanent' piece meant to hold the magic charge channeled into it, Elidibus studies it carefully.

"You aren't against modifications to the rifle, I presume?" It may have been expected that he'd need to adjust the weapon as well as create the ammo.

"...If adjustments include preventing others from taking advantage, I would prefer to make sure Ayumi isn't locked out of it if she returns," Kiyoiri answers after a moment. "...But...the only real warning, is that it can never cause serious harm- even accidentally."

[wewillwewill]

"The necessary adjustment would be to make certain the rifle accepts the ammunition I craft for it. I can preserve its ability to channel the caster's energy directly. As to the prevention, it would simply be a matter of allowing the passphrase to be used only by those attuned to it."

And to prevent someone from grabbing it effectively disarming the person by using the passphrase to dismantle it. Call Elidibus a worst-case scenario planner.

"...When you say harm, do you mean the prevention or the ammunition? And if it's the latter, I am curious about your reasoning."

[jan_ken_hacking]

A calm nod. All of the above, after all, sounds pretty workable.

Kiyoiri blinks however, and clarifies. "...The most important thing to Ayumi...and also to me, for the rifle, is that no one can be severely hurt, or killed by any shots fired from it. ...As such, that is the main 'rule' for the results of any enchantments."

[wewillwewill]

"I see. A personal preference rather than a necessary one." Elidibus may have remarked on the oddity, but he doesn't appear to be put out by it. Kiyoiri and Ayumi's wishes for the design are reasonable enough.

"It will take me time to develop the ammunition, but I can adapt it from methods native to my Star. I'll order materials I'm familiar with, though they won't be available until the next platform. Thus it will take about three weeks from now. Would that be sufficient?"

As to the disassembled rifle, Elidibus gestures. "I'm finished. I presume a different passphrase would be needed to restore it?"

[jan_ken_hacking]

"Yes." A very important personal preference, but it's good to hear he'll follow that without comment at least.

"That would be more than sufficient," she answers, before shaking her head. "The assembly phrase is the same, however."

They definitely need to ramp up the security on that.

[wewillwewill]

Yes. Better security would be a great idea. That does earn Kiyoiri a bit of a look before Elidibus utters the phrase again and causes the rifle to return to its intact form.

"If you are willing, leave the weapon with me and I will see to the modifications it needs within a week." With this it's easy; the components are there, they just need to be adjusted.

There is a pause. "I will be certain to treat it with care," Elidibus finally adds.

[jan_ken_hacking]

It is good that he added that final bit. Kiyoiri hesitates after all, but nods with a little more surety after that.

"...Alright. ...Thank you," she adds quietly. "...It means a lot- but, that is probably clear..."

But that in itself adds to the thanks; many would, after all, take advantage of such clear importance. She can trust the other not to do that.

A Conclusion, Woo!

[wewillwewill]

The appreciation is accepted with a simple nod.


There would be payment discussed; in the form of either a future favor or skill put to use or the purchase of basic materials he can use for later projects- the 'small item' category being deemed appropriate for the latter.

The rifle itself will be returned, looking the same as it did; Elidibus was most careful with the aesthetic it seems. The changes are internal to the components and the enchantment that allows it to be dismantled on a key command. Now one must take time to attune to it as well as give the command and feed it energy to cause it to fall apart.

The chamber, he explains then, will be able to load one cartridge at a time. Those who cannot enchant it on the fly will have to reload when it's appropriate and if it needs to be changed back should Ayumi return, he will do so without price. The cartridges themselves will need to wait, for the concept to be created and the materials to be gained at the next platform.

And a week after that platform they are delivered; ones which can take status enchantments; 10 in total. A week after that he returns with another 10 that can take defensive and healing enchantments.

As to the enchantments themselves, A few of each type will be enchanted so Kiyoiri can test them right away. As for the rest and future, that will depend on who Kiyoiri seeks out for such favors in the future; whether it's Elidibus or another on the train capable of such feats.
