[Anastasia]

Okay, give me one more int check.

[Nephrite]

[15:27] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+13+16 int check
[15:27] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 44 > [d20=15]

[Anastasia]

You begin to grasp it - you can do it, alright, it just takes care and precision.

[Nephrite]

"Okay, I see now." Moore says. "Let me see if it's any different like... this?"

He'll see if the fundamentals are more or less the same with the aspect of the soul, if it 's basically the same ideas and concepts, just on a ... well, I guess 'soul' other level, get it?



Yeah, anyway, he's going to try it via the soul side now.

[Anastasia]

Actually I don't, walk me through this?

[Nephrite]

Basically, he's repeating the same test that was used against memories against the soul instead. It seems to be able to attack souls, or something like that - or at least that was his impression.

If he has a belief that this will be extraordinarily damaging (since it is the soul, you know) then he'd probably not just go all willy-nilly with it.

[Anastasia]

The moment you do so, the summons instantly collapses and the creature is gone.

[Nephrite]

"...Well, that answers that, I suppose." Moore says. "Unfortunately, I think we need something else if I'm going to experiment with the soul-related side of this... but I don't know how we can ethically do that."

[Anastasia]

"You can't," Sylvie says at last, "But we've learned something pushing it as far as we dare."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I can control it better now, if nothing else." He says. "Hm... I suppose I could try it out on an avatar, but... I don't know that we'd learn much from that."

[Anastasia]

"With what it's done to summons, no," Jetina speaks up right away, "Don't risk it."

[Nephrite]

"No, you're right." Moore says with a nod. "But... ugh, what do we do with it now? I'll still write up my report on what we've found, but... well, perhaps we'll find a suitable person to try it out on. I... want to use it to help someone suffering from evil somehow, to help them move from their sorrows."

[Anastasia]

"That should be a last resort," Sylvie points out, gently so. "When nothing else will do. Something in the face of deep evil, the sort that scars the mind and soul."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, I agree." Moore says. "Well... I think we've done about all we can do with this for now."

[Anastasia]

In that case, heading back? If so next move?
