Seth actually had to laugh some at Nevea's question. Would infusing some of his own magic to her ice shards take up too much of his power? Ha! Not. A. Bit. Seth had been using his magical powers for quite some time now, there was no way he'd be even remotely drained by doing such a simple action as granting Nevea's ice some extra power."Absolutely not. Even if I chose not to, my crystals would do so overtime since they are, as I said before, solidified magical energy. Given the nature of my magic, it will undoubtedly feed off of and taint your creations, thereby making them produce different effects aside from the ones they can already produce."

Nevea was fazed not by Seth's laughs. Of course it was a perfectly [i]reasonable[/i] question, just asked with a slight lack of information. Therefore, it was not at all humiliating. Anyone with a slightly logical brain would be able to see that. "Marvellous," she said, as he finished. "I look forward to seeing just what those effects will be.

"So, now that we've got the matter of fail-safes done with, it's time we start with the hands-on. We know that we'll need perpendicular shafts, now to work out how exactly we're going to make it." With that, she stood up and formed a circular pedestal about half a metre in diameter. "This'll act as a place holder for the rotation mechanism while we work out the structure." Next, she formed the two shafts, and only the shafts. Nothing around it. Currently, all that could be seen was a pedestal and two bare, thin, cylindrical shafts, perpendicular to each other.

"If one or two of you could start work on plans for the control pedestal, but without the attachment for the construct for now, that would be just peachy." Two of the Hephestan campers began drawing out plans for that, moving to a small table off to the side to work it out. They of course wouldn't start actually making it, since the exact dimensions of the construct were not worked out yet. Even the current length of the shafts would be temporary.
