Can we use the system itself to extract his magic?

@Etcetera

The system by which it's contained can't be tapped into itself like that.
*Looks at the two undead corpses on the ground*
But his own defenses for it, on the other hand?

@Intrepid

*Kneels over one of the corpses and activates a magic matrix around it*
He is aware of our presence, correct?

Good luck finding anything more than traces on those already departed. But yes, he is. I've arranged it so that he's occupied while we work.

@Intrepid

I suspect that unless he maintains a source of raw magic in this vicinity, it may be more reasonable to obtain the signature of his magic system and reconstruct it.

@Etcetera

It would be incredibly risky. There’s a high chance of triggering a lockdown and rendering the entire thing inaccessible altogether.

@Intrepid

Do you suggest extracting it from living forces instead?

@Etcetera

An army of zombies. Great...

@Etcetera

That is an option. Triggering some other defenses is also a viable option, and the only means I believe we can access his raw power within this facility.

@Intrepid

*Places my hand to my chin*
If we eliminate large swaths of the army, perhaps we can capture their magic energy before it dissipates.

@Etcetera

Ripping the magic from them while they’re alive would efficiently capture the magic and eliminate the threats with much less effort, should that be something within anyone’s skillset.

@Intrepid

How is their retention prowess?

@Etcetera

Above average but much lower than with Graveny’s direct influence.

@Intrepid

Do you believe it would be more difficult to capture it as they die than to steal it from them alive?

@Etcetera

If anyone’s capable of it, you could recover it in much higher quantities with much less undead. Whether or not it’s easier depends on what you’re capable of.

@Intrepid

I can most certainly try.
*Manipulates the magic matrix around the corpse*
It's not as complex as it would be if they were the origin.

@Etcetera

I'm certain.
*Glances at the door to the room next to us*
There are a decent number of them in there.
*Pulls an empty vial from my pocket*
It would be ideal if it could be secured in here. I'll leave it to you, whether you'd rather go about it stealthily or all at once.
*Turns to Prism*
Think you can help secure the power we need?

@Intrepid

How would I do that?

@Fractured

The only way I know of is to trigger one of the traps scattered throughout the facility and capture the energy from them that is otherwise intended to kill.

@Intrepid

I can activate the traps easily enough, but I have no way to capture the power.

*Taps my chin*
I assumed with all your power you'd be able manipulate that of others easily enough.
