Angelo sighed softly wondering how they didn't know about this "if a certain salt is burned then it changes color. Red torches their on watch and when salt is thrown into their torch it turns blue what did you think the salt would be for?"He asked a little curious on what she would think salt would be used for in terms of defense then Angelo realized that they were getting off track. "Keep in mind it's just an idea to use as a relief system different color torch would mean different things. By now my guys are already at the security points I mentioned earlier I just need to have one if my guys message the Apollo and mars campers to join and help us"
"Oh, I knew that," said Nevea, as Angelo finished. It was a basic concept, after all. "I just hadn't seen the use. Although I'm perfectly sure that the same thing could be done with magic. And besides that, you would then have to get rid of the salt in order to change the colour once more, correct? Otherwise you'd get some sort of mix." She then nodded as Angelo related how they would call the campers.

"Fires can burn different colors depending on the minerals thrown into them. Common table salt would just make it burn a different shade of orange, but if it carries different components the flame will change color as they react to the heat."It was a good system, Seth supposed, but it did have the flaw that those using the salt would eventually run out of it if they were going to be using them every single time they were changing shifts. He had a solution to this though, and that was getting his half-siblings to produce mystical flames that would change color at a given command. One of their mother's symbols were twin torches after all, it would be shame if they couldn't do something as basic as that. Seth told the others about this and then listened as Nevea began telling the room of her design ideas. "These will do," Seth said as he examined the miniature ice structures more closely. "They're pretty close to what I had in mind anyway."The fact that they were was enough for Seth to feel assured the design would work well. "Now, if the humidity does happen to be low enough to give the ice shard creation trouble, that's where my creations' effects will kick in. My crystals are just solidified magical energy, so they'll have no problem in releasing streams of this power to wound and kill, but if not, then they'll certainly leave behind detrimental effects on their targets."
"As I said, magic," repeated Nevea, as Seth finished talking about the magical fire he and his siblings could form. "That's perfect. No chance of mixing." With that, she was satisfied with that communication system, and so she waited for Seth's input on the shafts. She nodded when he'd related that they were close to his own designs, and listened to his plan for when the humidity was too low.
"That's perfect," she said, when he was finished. A marvellous fail-safe, if she did say so herself. That comment was an absurd one. Of course you say so yourself. Did the speaker's brain get suddenly muffled? It was still useful, though. "I'm assuming you'll also be doing something along the lines of infusing magic into the shards? Or would that take too much power?"
