What I'm hearing is that she's basically the same as a golem.

<Snipped quote by Session>

I wouldn’t tell her that, but if you insist.

<Snipped quote by Path>

But back to the point, how long did it take you to go from casting circles to no casting circles?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Encryption! Basically, I put a lock on the mana that passes me.

<Snipped quote by Path>

I’ve never heard of anyone doing anything like that before.

<Snipped quote by Session>

It’s… a process. It takes time to implement it within one’s own body.
*I dust off my clothes*
And getting used to the feeling and controlling the encryption is another thing.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Sounds like it. How long did it take to learn?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Five years. And that was five years of full concentration.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Okay, so when you say full concentration, you mean...

<Snipped quote by Session>

I did not leave my spot for five years. Essentially in stasis.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Was it worth it?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Yes. In the time I was in that state it brought me closer to magic in a way I’d never imagined. I was one with it for a moment, a flow state some would call it.

<Snipped quote by Path>

I dunno... I think Gio would run out of things to think about.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Would he?

<Snipped quote by Path>

You’d have to ask him! He might just be crazy enough to go for it.

<Snipped quote by Session>

It might kill him. I consumed a lot of mana doing it, even when I channeled it from the surrounding area.

<Snipped quote by Path>

Do you have to have high amounts of mana to pull it off?
