Recovery

Matt shifted in his bed, eliciting a grunt of pain. Blinking, he realized belatedly that he was in a bed. Hmm... was he...?

Opening his eyes fully, he realized that he was in the mini infirmary of the bus, but the location had been moved. Presumably by someone who comandeered his keys. He was also wrapped in bandages but the worst of his injuries had been worked on. He was also, not to put a fine point on it, naked.

Groaning, he turned his head to the side, trying to figure out just who moved him there and if Asuna was okay. "... w-water," he croaked to the air.

"I suppose with a healer willing to help you out, that shouldn't be too bad," Zetta said, completely and totally unaware of the Medbay. "Uh, how much... thinking... is involved in this thing you do?"

"Any help would be appreciated," replied Matt with a nod. "I don't mind healing, be it magical or physical."

"As for the magic, there's a bit of discipline but it's focused around creativity than actual literary magic. Most people pick it up easily."

"Hmmmmmmmmmm," said Zetta, a maniacal gleam in his eyes. "I really, really like what you're telling me."

"Well hey, it's not too hard for anyone to pick up the spells. Just takes practice and a little patience s'all." Matt grinned at that. "It's why it's so intuitive, you just pick up the magic and make things go boom."

"How much effort does it take to teach?" Zetta asked. "How many people, how often, could you take on?"

"Maybe ten, twenty people at once. I'd have to run through the usual test though, see if their spirit is open enough to attract one of the elemental forces." mused Matt as he tapped a hand on his leg and spun his finger around.

"Earth, fire, air, water, quintessence. Five elements in a circle of energies that have direct opposing forces. The actual science behind it takes time to explain but there's also five opposing magics to that. I'd have to mine them out of the energies I've got at my disposal but that'd take time. And Reverse elementals are kind of rare in the usual energy set up..."

He trailed off. "Basically I can take a few people at a time, and separate them into teams."

"And if on top of that, I knew someone I thought might be able to benefit from... extensive training?"

Zetta thought a moment, then added, "If it helps, you definitely have enough mana power for at least a minor wish."

"I could take time to do that," said Matt. "Between the Council, we only meet once a week or so, so it should be alright to work out."

"A wish? Hmm... if I could get a separate lumia charged with the opposite energies... might take some doing though. How does it work?" inquired Matt.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Oh yes. I like this! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha!" What did you just get yourself into, Matt?

"The Sacred Tome is still the foundation of my Netherworld, so anything you write in it comes true... if you have enough mana power to fuel the wish."

Matt simply grinned. At least he was enthusiastic about his work.

"Huh, so that does make sense. The more power you have, the easier it should be to make a wish. I like that concept."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"It's the key to everything, here," Zetta said with a grin, which quickly faded. "Though there's no one here who could make the wishes I need. All the more reason we press on to the good ending."
