[Alchemy's Alchea] Alchemy for Carving? (Corpus)

[Blizzard]

"Quite impressive for a first timer, Nuit." she grinned. The smell of death and decay when she first met him? The increase of the smell once she walked in and there was no wind? The smell actually caused her snow leopard form to stir inside of her. The searching instinct of the animal wanted to track down the source and enjoy a free and easy meal that required no work to track down and kill. Adding quite a bit more details she examined his work carefully from a distance. "So on with this Alchemy stuff?" She examined the circles on his carving "Are those the rings I need to make for learning Alchemy?" She closely examined the rings then looked back at Corpus.

[Corpus Aeternum]

Corpus sit straight backed and quickly tried to hide behind a mask of composure instead of the quick look of shock when she called him out as a Nuit.

He ignored the plural word 'rings' and then smiled with a chuckle, "This ring is only a demo piece of what you would use to truly do Alchemy. The true ring will be made of meal. The ancient Nuit pointed to the two divets in the ring, "These are just representations of where you would place the materials you want to add and subtract from the item that you are changing."

He waited for a response from her before he went on.

"I do believe I'm starting to catch on. For example, I think if you would want to harden something, you would place something soft in the subtract ring and something a lot harder in the add ring?" The snow leopard Kelvic relaxed a bit. She wondered if you could harden and soften a living animal then too. Possibly give her snow leopard self an advantage too. She wondered what possibilities were out there for Alchemy. Blizzard's gray eyes narrowed as the sound of a squeak erupted from the otherwise quiet room. Pinpointing the source she thought it to be a mouse but at a closer examination one would see it was quite a big rat. Too little to waste energy on. Save it, Blizzard. She ran her tongue over her elongated canines as she directed her attention back to Corpus "Also, can you use Alchemy on a living creature?

[Corpus Aeternum]

Corpus nodded, "The idea you proposed is the essential idea. Turning something malleable to a harder rendition of itself yes. There may seem to be a few more different steps involved, but you get the fundamental idea. Next comes the charging and dispersal of D'Jed into the product."

He paused to set down the wooden replica and held up his hands, showing across the fingers and palms of both his hands numerous faint scars, "You see, Alchemy is something the more schooled practioners call a World Magic. In order to use it you need to give up a bit of yourself... In this case... Blood." Or Ichor if you are a Nuit.

The Nuit frowned at the girl's actions before shaking his head a bit, the rat skipping over the decaying warped floors completely unnoticed by Corpus. "You are a strange one. That's for sure. As for using it on living creatures. I don't know... But perhaps we can find out sometime? It would be a neat little advancement in my skills and research if we find out if it can be done."

He cleared his throat, "And teach you something you are curious about within the arts."

[Blizzard]

Blizzard grinned at the thought of her managing to catch onto something. She was proud of herself on the inside considering she was actually learning something useful that didn't have to deal with violence or killing for that matter. Blizzard studied his speech and words very carefully before recognizing she understood. In order to receive, you must give. Got it. The Kelvic made a quick mental note then swallowed as he explained it would be at the cost of blood. Shouldn't be that big of a problem considering I have learnt to contain myself a bit. The snow leopard looked at her palm then sighed. They were unscathed on her human disguise but there was always a new day for everything. "Strange? Yes, I suppose. However, is there truly a definition of strange? I think not," a somewhat small smirk grew upon her face "Alright, so we need blood or Djed. Would hate for a Nuit to scratch his skin, so here I guess. But shouldn't we get our items first?" She held out an outstretched palm as she didn't want to see the Nuit particularly cut himself. Blizzard had heard stories of Nuits having to find new bodies or something of the like when they got cut or scratched. Blizzard was unsure if this was the case for Corpus but she didn't want to take chances. However, if he knew the magic arts and such would he know such a ability to heal faster? She'd rather not ask and let her curiosity go hungry for a little while as she needed to learn to contain it as well. After all, she had heard a local say curiosity killed the cat. Need not take any risks as her curiosity would definitely be a factor that got her killed unless she learnt to contain it. "I have to admit, I think it would be a very fascinating experiment. And if all was to go well, perhaps it would be a new start of something big." Blizzard didn't understand why most shop owners didn't learn Alchemy and sell hardened items or softer purpose items to customers. Wouldn't it boost sales? And if possible, she might could use it on meat to increase the tenderness of her meal.

The Nuit blinked. “Whoa, hold it. We can't just go and start casting alchemy with this wooden excuse for a ring. We need a proper ring. Something I currently don't have available. Sadly enough this means we are going to have to wait for that.”

Corpus sighed, “As for the living experiment. I would have to find a specimen to do that. And a living one would be hard to find that is willing to try it. And considering the steps that would involve to get to that level of material to burn to even do anything with a living person is just crazy to think about currently.”

Just give it a few centuries of thinking and store it away in your decaying brain somewhere and you'll be fine old chap. With a smile he looked at Blizzard, “Besides, We still have theory and concept to talk about first. Can't just go about and start doing things. Can we?”

Well, we could... But let's not rush things eh?
