It’s not you, I am more than confident of your ability to survive this.
*looks at the armor then the orb*
This thing is shielded and using the excess mana as cover. I can absorb the mana, but I’ll have you fight it and feed the mana to you. This is going ti be greater than the armor you are fighting.

@Path

Magic is poison to me, and I wasn't born with much mana to reverse it. You don't want to force it through me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

It can do the job, but it can only do so much in your hands.

@Path

Not confident in my abilities?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

You have a weapon that can cancel large amounts of magic or absorb lots of mana?

@Path

A lot? Nothing other than the knife you gave us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Or its a part of something bigger.

@Path

So we need to bring the whole thing down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Something is controlling the armor. But the walls are making it hard to see what it is.

@Path

So the orb's a red herring?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

It’s not an animated armor.
*looks at the ceiling and watches the orb*
This is interesting.
*flicks my finger and a raw magic wave smashes into the strings that bend harshly but doesn’t snap*

@Path

You're being cryptic.
*Bounces back a few paces from the armor*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*string-like lines vibrate and light up and it shimmers down the the fully re-assembled armor*

@Path

Okay. What did that prove!?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Anywhere. Just mainly in the space.
*looks around then back at the orb*
*the armor slowly reassembles*

@Path

*Fires off an unenhanced magic blast toward the orb through a magic circle in the barrel of my pistol*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Any magical attack that you can throw.

@Path

At you or the orb?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*the armor splits apart and multiple platforms appear where they land*
*watches the orb and looks around*
Gio, can you send a magical wave with any spells you know?

@Path

A magical wave? Like a magic circle?
