Nothing that brings us answers.
*Leans in toward the inscribed image, and then walks across to the parallel image on the other side of the street*
But we would be able to reconstruct the moment these people were frozen.

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Ah, right, I didn’t think of that part. Sorry.
*After a few hours of in-depth study, several copies start to re-merge*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Which does what if not provide answers?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Soldier Boy: *proceeds to multiply only around one hundred fold due to my discomfort still with this new ability then takes the "Elementis and The Philosophy that Binds all" book, written by Doromorri, and begins sifting through the pages... * Ey... yo!... Squid fellow... Klisp... what am i looking at?



Klisp'Anarion: *Sighs audibly among gurgles and purlrurlrs* Pooorlorlrorlr! rplrlrprlrplrprlr.... *Prism! can you...? uuhhhh.... That book is a more advanced level of the mechanics of cosmic leylines... get the elements for dummies first!*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

His book or mine?

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Klisp'Anarion: Prrlrl.. YYILRL! *His... BEN! YOU ARE READING IT UPSIDE DOWN!*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

Ah, well... there’s always combat training.

I’ve got everything I need. Don’t worry, we’ll save your girlfriend!

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*finally i get it and begin reading the basic philosophy of how energies and mana and aether plus will and the right tool conjure up events that are classed as magic from the basic elements for newbies book*

Klisp'Anarion: Prprlrprl, prlrprlrprlpplrlr, olprrlprloprlrlopr... *Right after this next book, i'll put you to practice Prism, while he is still... getting the hang of it...* *Rubs his forehead with visible frustration*

*You are given the book: How to assemble your first Essentia transmuting tool -- written by Kilogoln Ariol and co-authored by the Writing Hands of God*

<Snipped quote by RoadkilBanana>

*everything is dead silent... you look around and this is likely a steppe or desert world or something like that, with a dense enough atmosphere that at least the wind should be heard... but nope... grave silence! looking at the ore, it is a multitude of iron, copper, zinc, coal, and a bunch of stone, probably from a nearby quarry?, you look at your feet... it seems that the dust you are kicking when walking moves for a bit shortly before freezing in place, in fact all your footsteps previously seem to be tiny clouds of dust and pebbles frozen in the air*

<Snipped quote by Source>

*laughs* sure, let's go with that title.

*as we turn the corner entering a large space seemingly kitted for training purposes we see a horde of amaranthine beasts attack a large mech that almost seems to be holding it's own, if not for the sheer overwhelming force of the monsters.*



Falcon: Bout damn time y'all showed up!

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*The countless duplicates of me all begin practicing at once*
Is there a way to create more space for us? This is a bottleneck right now.

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

∆: How did I even get here... Did I like... stop time or something...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Klisp'Anarion: *Nods gesturing to the many doors and archways that have been manifested in between the bookshelves and the elevated platforms with hovering stairs leading to them* Prprlrprl, prlrprlr! *I did said i have these extentions to my research lab here for when i hold multiversal discourses and millions of souls pop in to participate...*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

This is the perfect opportunity. I’ll assign a few members of the hive to collecting material, and divide the rest into sections to study specific material.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Klisp'Anarion: YAYRL! ulrulrrlrlpplp! *WHOHOO! I finally get to use my world pockets... er... yeah, i developed pocket dimensions specifically for natural growth of the top tire alchemical ingredients* *He waves his paws and dozens of portals open to impressive environments that seem to be literally their own biospheres and ecosystems*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*Nods, impressed*
Very fascinating!
*Thousands of Prisms begin to flood the biospheres*
This looks like it’ll be more than enough space.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Klisp'Anarion: Vrrvlvvlrrvllplplplplrlrlrlrp! *Would you grab Ben here and show him the ropes? and what are you gonna be practicing first? there are about a hundred potions that deal with primordial horrors and such...*

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

My plan was to practice everything. All at once. And sure, I can teach Ben.

*You suddenly hear an out of place skittering sound that seems to come from inside one of these metal buildings -- Skskskskskssss --*
