*smiles with my eyes appearing to close and I clasp my hand together*
Amazing choice!

@Path

Where did you find something like this?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*stares at you then smiles*
Okay.
*turns to open the door*

@Path

*Slams the dagger onto the table*
I'll take this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

What? You… huh? Why the switch up?

@Path

*Stops and finally releases the channel with the casting of an ultra-dense sheath of ice to hold the blade*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*frowns with genuine concern*
That isn’t nice to say…
*glances at Gio then back at you*
Why are you suddenly so surprised?

@Path

*Moves through the steps of a combat routine, casting while twisting and striking rhythmically with the blade*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It’ll take more than you got, but I love the method…

<Snipped quote by Session>

*looks at you*
What are you talking about?

@Path

*Casts a set of strong protection spells on myself through the channel in the knife*
If you fail, well, I hope Levy's prepared for this. Prove to me that you're worthy.
*Holds the knife out to my right and closes my eyes, and allows magic to flow freely through its structure like water, first casting a ground-based spell, then darkness, then light, followed by gravity, disenchantment, and search, conducting a duet within an orchestra of spells and surprisingly only sipping at my own mana supply*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*another tang is heard and now it is white again and black spots form*

@Path

*Flips from a reverse-grip to holding it up in front of me and attempts to gauge how close the knife is to failing*
Is that all you've got?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Ooooh!!!
*the blade sparks with an audible tang as if in a response to your words and the heat shrinks to white spots that slowly grow throughout the blade, getting hotter while still having the handle maintain a cool temperature, the space around the blade begins to warp slightly*

@Path

More!
*Continues to fuel the magic supply, now clearly having driven more through the blade than my own mana supply would provide*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*it begins to glow white hot on the blade while the hilt is surprisingly room temperature*

@Path

Let’s see what you can do.
*Channels more magic through the blade to push its limits*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*it seamlessly cuts the hair as it falls on the blade*

@Path

*Starts channeling a self-heating spell through the blade, along with a heat-isolation spell until it starts to show signs of heat failure or magical stress failure*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*it goes through the table further than expected and holding sturdy within table*

@Path

*Rubs the edge against a knife made of a hyper-dense metal until all that’s left is shavings, and then drops a hair onto the edge of the blade*
