21

"Ah, just in case...."

Seira demonstrates the various uses she's discovered here for the blue energy, from protection to filtering to conversion and ending with outright destruction.

[Ebiris]

"Thank you Moore. I'll have Antenora read it when we're back in Sylica so she can add her own perspective," Alicia takes the book and puts it away in her portable hole before watching Seira's demonstration.

"So it's just a case of willing to create these things? But not the way you'd normally do when emulating a spell?" she asks uncertainly, attempting to create a 'blue bubble' around herself. Which would sort of work like an anti-life shell except doing... whatever it is this blue energy does.

[Anastasia]

The two balls meet and cancel out, nothing left behind.

People watch the demonstration in the meantime, Dolmaya in particular. "Creation and destruction," she surmises, "Does that fully extend to the Far Realm?"

"What I would like to know is, what exactly IS the Far Realm," Ianvasah speaks up, "It seems to be madness unchecked, is it not?"

For Alicia it's surprisingly easy. It seems to to just come to her here, the sphere manifested with a mere effort of will.

[Ebiris]

Still it's just a... blue bubble. It doesn't really feel useful.

Perhaps when she sees it used against something of Beyond it'll be more clear to her. She attempts to make it go away with the same effort of will.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Interesting. Thanks for the techniques. And an equivalent amount of blue negates both. I wonder how much is needed to remove something from Beyond?"

[Anastasia]

Antenora meanwhile glances at the book, "I'll do that as soon as events allow us," she agrees. "Were Eblis available I would also seek his council, but I fear he will not be for a long time."

The bubble is gone, just like that.

"It's much more complicated, it appears," Xandra replies to Ianvasah, "We still don't understand it all, but we understand more than most." She gazes out at the sea of white, "Almost like endless light, that shines on silently, forever." She then turns to the light of 21, "Yet what are you that makes everything recoil from you in such terror?"

[Nephrite]

"I think that depends on who you ask." Moore says. "The Far Realm, Beyond, I really don't know that it's that much different than Creation... it's just that we don't understand it. From the perspective of something from there, we may seem to just be as alien."

[Corwin]

"The Beyond is a place with no rules, whereas Creation was carved out of it through the establishment of said rules," Seira tells Ianvasah. At Dolmaya's question, she shrugs. "We haven't gone to find out just yet. I can tell you it's a lot harder to work with this energy manipulation in Creation proper, but still possible with practice and preservation."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Perhaps it's the harmony of the two. Creation and the Beyond seem to be polar opposites. If it's the harmony between them, it's effectively an abomination to it. Or perhaps it's from outside of the Beyond.  Or from before it."

[Nephrite]

"Either way, don't let us keep you." Moore says. "Alyssa, if you want to practice here, I can stay and help if you want. It's no trouble to get here and back, anyway."

[Iron Dragoon]

"It's much easier here. Seems like the boundries here merging relaxes the rules. It doesn't fight me the same way.  But yes, let's get moving. "

[Anastasia]

"We do have things to do," Antenora agrees, as she turns towards 21 and that light, striding ahead.

"Be careful and safe," Syala says, going to follow.

Is everyone going ahead here?

[Ebiris]

Yes lets go.

[Iron Dragoon]

yup

[Nephrite]

Sure thing.
