Oooooh, okay! I'll try that! *Pulls some of the kinetic energy away*

@DarkwolfX37

Very good. Inconveniently, it is not in our power to add or remove momentum, and energy is generally non-directional, so getting energy itself to move in a certain direction is not straight-forward. Helpfully, we almost never have to move something that is purely energy—but if you do, there are tricks to help you get things in the right direction, tricks that are helpful in other situations. One technique is akin to what you did when you learned how to bend gravity, and if you think about it for a while, you should be able to come up with a similar technique to indirectly bend spacetime as well and change the direction of this ball.

Why's it moving when I do that?

@DarkwolfX37

I’m moving it, sorry, so you can practice with kinetic energy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Hmm... *Keeps trying*

@DarkwolfX37

*As you improve at extracting energy, the ball begins to move slowly* Now the extracting its kinetic energy.

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Okay! *Watches intently* Maybe... *I try for a few hours before getting some of the energy to move from the ball*

@DarkwolfX37

Very good! Some notes: First, extraction of energy is a primary method of energy replenishment for Velvet Scribes. Secondly, this energy method applies to just about every form of energy there is. If you can see it, you can take it. I’ll have you practice with kinetic energy after you get better at extracting energy from specific points on the ball.

Please Reserve Free Sections ONLY for Free RP!!!

I am seeing many interest checks in the Free RP section with Casual/Advanced tags being used and players setting minimum requirements of a paragraph or more. Doesn't anyone even know how to read anymore? The Free section clearly states what kind of RPs are allowed in the Free RP section.

Free RP: For roleplaying involving one-liners, few-liners, speed-posting, and for anyone who doesn't want to have to worry about standards. See individual GM for RP specific standards.

Free RP = NO STANDARDS WHATSOEVER!!! If your RP ad has standards, then it does not belong in the Free section PERIOD. That's what the Casual and Advanced sections are for.

Huh. *Focuses and tries to fire a blast but fails*

@DarkwolfX37

You can try that, but it would be better to start with trying to extract energy out of this—*Creates a stationary ball of energy*—by observing how energy dissipates from these: *Continues to create blasts that hit the wall*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

How do I do that?

@DarkwolfX37

By example. What people call “energy blasts” are really usually things like plasma or high-frequency light, but balls of contained, raw energy are also in usage. I want you to observe how the energy dissipates from some of these blasts and use that knowledge to extract the energy yourself. This is another innate Realmatic power—to add or remove energy from an object to yourself or vice verse. *A couple of energy blasts appear and hit a wall for you to observe*

Hmm... *Sits down and thinks for a few days before trying and failing. Continues trying for a week before getting it to work*

@DarkwolfX37

Very good! Your force, field, and particle manipulation are proceeding very well, and your ability to puzzle out transformations is vital to your success with the wide variety of particles in Existence. Up next is the movement of physically manifesting energy.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

How?

@DarkwolfX37

That is for you to try and puzzle out. Observe, with your Realmatic sense, why gravity pulls the way it does. It is linked to many, many things, and that is why the change is not so straight-forward. But hidden in the mysteries of gravity, the transformation can be drawn out.

Okay! *Keeps practicing*

@DarkwolfX37

*Once you have a solid handle on redistribution of energy* Let’s move to gravity—this is the first case where you will need to create a new “why”. *A single massive particle appears, its gravitational field completely normal and undisturbed by our presence* Bend gravity.
