Nevea watched and waited as Seth examined the structure and then began his work. For a moment, she thought she saw him almost shiver. That was understandable, even though she hadn't even applied the chilling effect yet. Right now it was just her regular ice... Which just happened to be cold enough to cool the room several inches from origin. She certainly wouldn't apply the effect right now, in this cabin. That would be far too cold in a confined space (for everyone except her, that was).As Seth began to feed his magic into the construct, Nevea cast her awareness to the ice in order to understand, literally firsthand, what was happening. She could feel the construct's innate ice magic growing stronger, entwined with Seth's. The area around the table would noticeably drop in temperature, although only just. She removed her awareness as Seth began to speak, and nodded when he confirmed that it would work. She then watched as the metal was deteriorated, and then she momentarily applied the chilling effect. The metal lost quite a bit of velocity and it dropped harmlessly before it hit the construct. She removed the effect as quickly as it had came."Hopefully none of you were bothered by that sudden chill," she said, as when she had activated the chilling effect, the temperature had dropped and then rose for a split-second, likely causing chills to run down the backs of most of those sitting at the table. "That was just my activating the effect to slow the metal." She chuckled."Now, there's a little something about my ice that's very useful: I can cast my awareness onto it from a good distance away, so that I can feel its intactness, or its magic levels, or many other things. Since your crystal and my ice are fused, I do believe you should be able to do that. When you don't have your awareness on it, it'll feel like a barely noticeable... How should I say this... Area of your mind. It's really useful for checking on the constructs and adjusting them from a distance, so you won't need to take the time to walk all the way to them."It might be a bit hard to figure out which... Areas correspond to which constructs, but with a bit of time you'll have an intuition as to which to choose. When you aren't connected to any of them, they won't bother you in any way, unless you count the non-intrusive feeling of having navigable areas of your mind a bother." If Seth were to cast his awareness at that moment, he would still have perception and understanding of his own senses, although with something like a sixth-sense that allowed him to feel the shape and aspects of the construct. When he was to first feel the sense, it would likely feel separate, with focus needed to process the information, but with enough uses it would feel just like the other five.

Casting awareness? Seth was wondering if she was going to mention that sometime. If her ability to create structures with her ice magic was anything like his crystal formation ability, then she should have been able to tap into her own magic once again to check the area where it had been place. Now she had obviously said she could, but he would have realized it anyway had she not. Nevea focusing her mind upon her ice (and therefore the magic that had been fused with them) had been noticed by Seth since he was doing the same thing to examine Nevea's magic. Both had merged with little to no trouble and were showing no signs of trying to expel each other. What a relief. 

"No need to further explain the process," Seth told Nevea. "I'm familiar with it and have often made use of it from time to time. Good to know you can do the same..."

His attention turned towards the Hephaestus kids working on the rotation mechanism. They were working speedily and were just about done with an early model, and knowing them, they would then get to improving it to be more effective. He was glad that this entire meeting was going well, no ridiculous arguments over petty things had occurred. Nevea also had been open to the idea of working with his magic, something which even most of his half-siblings were uncomfortable with. Now there was someone willing to use anything at her disposal to succeed at a given task!

"Looks like the forgers are doing well in their work. Is there anything else you would like to suggest, Nevea?"
