Magic and Mystical: Interviews

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Nothing felt quite so good as to have a project on its way. If this one features slightly less graphical and arbitrary annihilation of all sense and reason to the universe so that his will and desires may stand paramount in all creation, it's no less important or relevant for all that.

Aibghalien has set aside a few of what appear to be practice areas for interviews and assessments, hoping these are large enough to use for any demonstrations necessary. If not, the courtyard outside allows plenty of space for particularly pyrotechnical displays.

[OOC: Those willing to help interview may start their own threads for people to comment on (but Abby would like to get your own lists!) If your character would have come, but you aren't able to thread it out for any reason, just put the information in the Handwaved thread for later compilation.]

"Specifically, or by association?" Aibghalien immediately inquired. This person didn't appear to be the sort who came from Kang's world, but it was always possible...

Caz wasted no time in finding a random surface to sit on, his yellow drape appearing out of nowhere just before he plopped down proper.

"The latter, mostly. Though, this does look like something out of the King's style~" Sardonic, but it amused him at least. Caz stretched out in his seat. "Now, I'm going to make this blunt, if you don't mind, because time isn't something I'm...assured, I guess." A pause, and he shrugged. "I'm artificial. Alchemy. That nonsense. I want to know as much about it as possible." He leaned forward, smiling unnervingly. "In exchange, I'll be a good kitty and let you poke and prod at whatever it is you scholars would be curious about. Deal?"

"That should not be overly problematic, though it depends on whether the alchemy involved in your creation is a magical art or a science," he said after a moment's consideration. To that effect, he made a brief gesture and spoke a word, casting detect magic upon himself. "Does it give you any particular powers or abilities, or is it merely the reason for your existence?"

Magic or science? Frankly, Caz hated both, but...he'd always thrown his lot in with one or the other. Maybe he could seriously dabble with both for once, here.

Sadly, Cazali took the mage's question to be a time to show off, because in a flash of yellow light and clinking change, he had shifted forms- and with a flick of his wrist, sent a small, though distinctly magic-induced wind through the room. It wasn't strong, but he wasn't trying to do damage.

"I could show you my other skills, but~ One's specifically designed to blind, so...probably not a good idea, hm~?" He rested his hands behind his head, reclining. "Just in case, I'm planning on letting the Science department take a little peek. I'd just like to sort this stuff out now, since I have the resources available ~"

"I prefer not being blind, yes," he agreed amenably as he considered the magical residue from the transformation and wind.

"Very well, I see no reason not to begin the process immediately, since I'm quite prepared with informational spells today. If you'll allow me?"

Caz just chuckled, spreading his arms out as if to say 'bring it'.

"Do what you have to~" Ignoring the oversized bondage kitty was a bit on edge around mages, but if worst came to and the guy did anything of the sealing sort...

Without further ado, he produced a small ruby lens set in a golden hoop, and with it in the palm of his hand, spoke several arcane words while making a few passes. With the analyze dweomer (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/analyzeDweomer.htm) spell cast, he then turned his attention to Caz and the magics within him.

For starters, there seemed to be quite a bit of overlap- the vast majority of his body was made up of weak-level magic medals that seemed to be mere containers for desire. In fact, there didn't even seem to be any means of containing them- no skin or membrane, just stacks of coins.

Somewhere deeper in his chest region however was a much more potent medal, which seemed to house an impossible amount of things- some feline qualities, some sort of consciousness, wind element, light element- but Cazali was quick to put his hand over his chest, as if he felt that area being examined. At the very least, it seemed Caz could dampen the auras his medals were giving off.

"Thaaats a bit of a personal place, okay~?"

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

"Understandable, I apologize," he said, though personally he was a bit confused -- why ask for analysis, then conceal the most interesting part? "Well, I can say that the process involved seems to have been a magical rather than a scientific alchemy. Quite a process it must have been."

[greeedycat]

Because Cazali is a cocktease

"I wouldn't know, I wasn't conscious until they separated my medals." After a moment, Cazali gestured with his wrist, as one of the medals appeared between his fingers. "I only have one core medal- and that's the difference between me ceasing to exist or not. So this'll have to suffice." Caz paused, then stared at the cell medal. "...my core medal was broken once already, that should have shattered me. So maybe I'm a bit...sensitive about it. Once I get the rest of them back, maybe I'll let you poke at one of those~?"

"In my experience, enchantments are not necessarily destroyed by damage to the item that they enchant. That item can then be repaired. Not that I'm encouraging extensive testing on that," Aibghalien said with a smile. As freely as he might embark on insane experimentation, he had respect for the lives of others!

"Now, when you say separated your medals... can you elaborate on that?"
