Hogyoku

[20:03] Xander Byron says, "Quite the lovely abode Az."
[20:19] "Thank you Xander, my roommates designed it so I can't take any credit."

Flashing a noble smile, he'd gesture for them to sit in one of the luxurious chairs provided. Not wanting to take up too much time, he'd direct his attention primarily to Kitra.

"Right, well.. It has to do with my longterm ambition. You see.. I've been seeking ways to achieve more than what I was born with. I can only do so much with a vessel like this.. Connected to the mortal coil."

With a shake of his head, he resumed.

"Instead, if I were to modify who I am, what I am - Then perhaps I could achieve precisely what I set out to do. It's why I came to this academy, to learn from the various brilliant minds that exist on Esshar!"

"While not all classes assist directly, one such as yours - Professor Kitra - is perfect! Runewriting, the language of gods.. It's quite exactly what would help.. And so, I would like for you to perform a task that might be quite taxing but still.."

Clearing his throat into his fist, he'd blow past the grandiose introduction.

"I would like for you to inscribe runes onto me. Ones that would make the absorption of a star's essence, easier. I want to.. In a sense.. Overclock what my body is meant to handle, the possibilities from this, if done right? Could be amazing."

Grinning, he perked a brow in her direction.

"What say you?"
(Azariel De Claire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:33] Listening carefully Kitra started off by smiling widely believing he wanted to replaced his body with mechanical replacements, but it seemed as though it wasn't quiet that. Still a very interesting path he was choosing.

Walking a bit and pointing at Azariel's heart she explained. "I certainly can do that!" Then moving her fingers in front of her to form an x she furthered. "The problem or potential hang up that may come from this. "You will potentially need two things!"

A small smile came to her face signifying she was about to go on a rant. "I will need to know the exact shape of your mana circuits. The next thing that I think you will need are mana foci, and at least one generator. This can fluctuate from anything between natural high mana crystals and plants to more mechanical things. Personally I operate the best with metallic structures like a mana pendant, crystals, and plants! The reason that I suggest having these two things first is because of effectiveness, and safety!"

"With knowing your circuit outline I can find the base points and center the runes around their. On top of that I can trace out the lines that are influenced the most by cosmic energy and add leylines type runes along the surface of your skin to reinforce them and increase their capacity without shattering or bending your body to a flow it's not sure to. The solid core will also allow you to gather more energy period."

"The augmentations through other materials imbedded into your body will allow you to contain even MORE mana and pass them through points to create a bigger blast. Larger wells along your circuits will have a positive, but explosive effect on your magic."

Finally finishing her rambling she nodded. "Up to you! I can start writing something now, or we can wait until you have a bit more prepared materials!"
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:42] Bringing a hand to his chin, the ivory tips moved with a faint caress. At the very least, now he knew what materials were required of him if he even wished to attempt something like this. At least.. Doing so safely.

"I see, I see.. Well, I'm a step further than I was yesterday. Beforehand, I had no idea how the process of getting this done would work." Having more than just a goal in mind, he had the means of completing the task on paper.

Nodding, his hands moved to rest upon his lower back, "Very well. I'll find these materials, and once I do I'll come and find you so that we can begin."

He'd pause for a moment, looking back to the eager woman.

"Feel free to begin writing a plan as soon as possible. After all, the more prepared you are, the better. Though, I do have another question... How effective would this be in absorbing celestial essence?"

Shifting fully towards her he continued, "I mean completely. Whether a Primordial's essence or an entire star."
(Azariel De Claire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:50] "That entirely is dependent on the quality of material you bring! I recommend a powerful cosmic stone or something similarly aspected for your central energy containment and generating core. After that any amount of crystalized star fragments and potentially a liquid of some sort from a alchemist would be amazing. Though again it's all about how far you are will to go! If you get everything to it's utter maximum than you will be able to achieve essentially the ability to be a celestial avatar! Though that's only if you go for the complete and utter maximum."

Kit sat back on the stool behind her. "By the way are you looking for any particular star or celestial formation that you want to pull your power from? That will help me when making the runes."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:56] Unable to suppress the excitement within his chest, a toothy grin bloomed across pristine features. "Excellent! Truly excellent. I knew it was the right idea to come to you for aid. I guess the stars guide me after all."

Though, with her further massaging his curiosity, he couldn't help but ask. "A Celestial Avatar? What is that? I originally planned to achieve godhood, like those who'd shaped our cosmos."

However, as she asked about which star he had his eyes set on he'd chuckle. "Of course, he star of power and of passion. I wish to receive my power from none other than.."

"..The Red Star. Vrona."
(Azariel De Claire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:06] With his book out, pen drilling into it's very parchment. Xander loved hearing the theories, or outright facts that Kitra was explaining towards the two. Especially towards the very concept that Azariel wished to accomplish.

"If you don't mind as well. I'd like the same thing done upon myself." he smiled, seeing how the two had similar interest and goals. The end of his pen clicked as he sat upwards in his seat. "However, I'd like to have the power to absorb everything. The essence of souls, the magic of others and perhaps even more." Soul manipulation was the concept of what he wished to accomplish. "Also, if you'd be able to teach me the language of the divines another day. That would be perfect as well." He couldn't rely on them forever of course, though he'd love to have their help throughout his creations.

Clicking his pen once more, he began to wrote 'The Red Star. Vrona.'

"Hey Az, what's Vrona about if you don't mind me asking."
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:08] "That is a brilliant question!" Kitra got up taking out a Talisman she began to write a rune on it quickly. After she was done she charged it with her mana and it created images of Garjling, Eos, and the Cosmos.

"Avatars are very close if not sometimes THE embodiment of Primordials and spirits in general. I would say achieving Godhood is the wrong way to think about it. Godhood would suggest that you yourself are a constellation in this case. This is impossible with this path buuuut!"

She gave a toothy smile. "You could likely become an Avatar of perhaps up to a portion of space or celestial body. This means that unlike how you are currently asking for a portion of their power you would be given more of a direct ability to pull as you see fit from the Vrona's cosmic powers. In turn this would mean that you are a projection of their power in all forms. You would essentially be the star, or whatever it was you were pulling from, but in physical form."

Hearing how he spoke of Vrona a fire burnt in her eyes. "Right! If you are that passionate about Vrona I also suggest visiting them a bit more directly to get yourself anointed. If you achieve all these things you will become Vrona's avatar. Their will, power, passion, and essence made mortal and coupled with your will."

Turning heel she nodded at Xander."That's very possible to do as well. I can teach you tomorrow on the language and if you are looking particularly to achieve absorption of mana in all it's forms it's a little different, but you may need a spirit core or something similar for your base. We can talk more about that another time though."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:34] "Becoming an entire constellation would indeed be impossible. For now."

His gaze had wandered to the ground during his contemplation, but now they'd once more rest upon Kitra. There's a zeal within her that reflects within him - though he may have hid it just a bit better. However, the accelerated throbbing within his chest was inescapable, this was what he'd wished for.

"Becoming their avatar, it'll certainly be up to par with what I had in mind. If you help me with this Professor Kitra.. I promise I'll do everything in my power to assist you in anything you might need." It was only fair after all. Subsequently, his gaze falls upon Xander, "Red Stars are known for the might and their passion, to fuel their magi with immense strength."

He chuckled as he looked back to Kitra, "My family back home are well known for our attunement to cosmic magic. I seek to take it a step further and become something unlike anything we've ever seen." Nodding, he continued, "I'll do as you say then. Gathering the materials and I'll even try to meet with Vrona personally."

The throbbing in his chest became more vibrant.

"Once I've done everything you suggested, I'll have nothing barring me from achieving what I aim for. I have a gut feeling about it." Stepping forward, he'd seek to throw his arms around Kitra in an embrace. "You've made the impossible that much more possible! And that alone is undeniable!"
(Azariel De Claire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:39] The fire flared within Kitra's soul, something shown evident through the inspiration she was given along with the task she prepared herself to accomplish. An avatar of a star, the ambition enough was to make any normal person think they were insane.

But Xander knew the truth, they were just as determined as himself. Just as passionate and willing to go the extra mile to achieve that very goal.

"Yes, but I'd like to completely absorb the soul itself. Be it primordial, Divine. Or even an Avatar of a Red Star." His gaze narrowed at Az with a playful smile. "Joking of course, but I'd like to take the power of others and use it for myself if that is a possibility."

"I'd like to completely devour a soul and to bolster my strength." To help him shed his mortal shell and ascend towards a higher being. "To also hold the ability to control another if I so wished." Necromancy, purging a being with his own manato corrupt and control their will. "Practically the freedom to control the soul of any living entity. Big or small." he summarized. "I'll also work hard to achieve the items you need to make this a reality Kitra. You are the only one I believe can help me accomplish such a goal. Which I do appreciate by the way."

"As for Red Stars?" he mused at the attention of Azriel. "I prefer the route of taking power for myself. Rather than relying on others." A smile prompted as he flexed his right hand, closing it into a fist. "Because at any moment, they could take it away if they so chose."

Xander knew his friend's true intentions, but figured he'd just say what he thought outloud for now. "Quite noble of you if I'm being honest."

"Tell me something Kitra." His tongue clicked as he leaned forward, digits interlocking. "Do you know about magi as old as legends? Haveyou ever heard of the name of Mikhail Petrakis?" he questioned outloud, wondering if they knew of such a prestigious figure. "Or how about Amalia Elaide?"
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:46] A huge almost devious smile came to Kitra's face. "No worries! Just bring me some interesting items you have no use for if you want. I don't need too much more than that. If I need an actual favor It'll usually be mutually benefical."

Despite the almost devious smile Kit didn't really desire much in this world she just was content with making things. This was a great chance to do so! She patted Azariel on the back laughing warmly. "Right! You get everything and report back to me. This will be awesome!"

A curious pause came to Kitra and she turned to Xander. "I'm never one to tell someone not to pursue something. This is why I'm going to tell you this. Find the Lich! Get him to assist with some of those things. Additionally items I recommend getting are spirit bones; a full set, soul steel, spirit cores, spirit fragments, and power cores of only the most purely mana variety. If your goal is to do somethingamazing never settle for anything other than the best! The lich is an excellent resource if he is still around and I know he would be interested in what you are doing."

Listening to the names she nodded a bit, but still had a confused look on her face. "Yeah, both of those names sound familiar, but by the realms my family's history book is SO FUCKING BIG! Hard to say exactly!" She produced a loud laugh.
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:56] "Okay, that seems simple enough. I'll do so then!"

Stepping back, he'd eye the woman with a newfound respect. Most teachers deemed it necessary to force upon students what they thought was right; but with Kitra she encouraged them regardless of the path.

"Thank you again. It means so much what you've taught me today. Whenever you're available, I'd like to further my runewriting studies. I wouldn't want to impede you too much. Learning the language of gods might help me understand more too."

As for Xander, he's given an eyeroll, though it's harmless in context. Smiling, he'd move towards one of the chairs to take a seat. "I have a lot to think about, and a lot to plan. But it's a start."
(Azariel De Claire)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:00] To meet the Lich themselves.

"I'm not even sure if I know how to directly meet the Lich King. I've heard that it's possible, but only through unorthodox methods." he stated from his seat. Not knowing how it was possible to reach such a point.

"As for my ambitions? I do appreciate you not judging me, and even pushing for me to reach such a point." Again, another saint hidden amongst the crowd. Someone who didn't find his dreams too crazy or unorthodox. "What would I need the Lich's assist with if I may ask?" Pondering if he needed the assistance for Nidaz as well.

His excitement was hidden within his eyes. Glad that he finally met someone with the answers and power to construct such a thing, someone able to do what most could not, or dare not to even attempt due to the complications.

As the list rolled over for him to gather a series of items to achieve his dreams. He couldn't help but wield a smile.

Standing from his seat, he reached towards Kitra with a tight hug. "Thank you so much Professor Kitra. Thank you so much for helping me.. Helping us accomplish our dreams." It wasn't something that many would welcome, including the headmaster of the Academy. Yet they were here, given the okay to set forth and pursue their wildest dreams.

"Well, they do have a major history line." But then that begged the question. "Wait, are you related to the Elaide's or Petrakis's?" Perhaps he heard them wrong.

"But yes! I'd love to start learning the language of the gods as soon as possible. But if you could before I go. Could you explain to me if this all could be done? Or would I have to figure out a way to gain Nidaz's help as well?" Golden spheres stared up inot Kitra's full face. Wondering what steps he'd need to take to accomplish his very goals.

(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:12] Kitra scoffed a little.

"It's pretty easy. Just get in good with Docros I saw him there last. Though he isn't around much I know that much. Probably off doing soul things." Clicking her tongue as all the cool kids did she smiled.

"You need his advice on the soul. No one knows it better than he does. He bends the soul almost as easily as he bends the flesh. It's essential that you start your knowledge at the absolute best you can find and then work your way up from there. You are looking to do something big! Interupting the flow of souls is hard, but not impossible. Containing them inside your body is one thing, but controlling is another. With the assistance of the Soul materials; including soul steel and possibly a bit of Chiron, and the Lich's knowledge of the soul you will be able to achieve it I'm sure though!"

Kitra received another hug. She could cry. It must be true, she was totally the cool teacher! "Glad too! Achieve things beyond comprehension! Break the bearers further and further!" Though taking a deep breath to answered the relation questions.

"Well, it's easiest to start at my great grandma and her family. My great grandmother was Nena Argryis. Her step kids finished her creation of the Dragon forge. She was the one who designed it. Additionally she had plenty of interactions with people at the Café when she was younger and kept up to date with most happenings back then. Then even further her teacher and as good as mother was one of the to be empresses of Theria. Her name was Estra and there literally wasn't a faction that she didn't talk to on a regular basis. My family's Rune making style actually comes from her. She gathered all the knowledge of every single artificer in Esshar back in her day no matter how big or small they were. She also work on the realm smashing gauntlet. That's all to say that the history book that was passed down for things my family may need to know is super huge and I'm having a lot of trouble getting through it all." There was a large exhale. That was always an explination and a half. She left out so much.
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:38] The Docros?

Humming to himself, Xander could only imagine how hard it'd be to get involved with the very family that would murder his mother the very first chance they had.

Though, the notes were still taken down as he whipped out his notepad.

"So you can help me harvest souls and utilize it for myself. Souls, and power alike right?" While manipulation was one thing, he was aiming to absorb the essence of all things.

"Huh." he blinked, swearing that he heard Kitra's tongue clicked. Causing a mischievous smile to arise as it was confirmed then and there. She was one of the cool teachers.

"I see. So I'll definitely try to reach out. But if you could give me a good word in with Nidaz I'd greatly appreciate it." He smiled, "I promise to behave and try my best!" In truth, he would! He hungered for all things worth in knowledge. Especially this, the issue was. "Though.. I believe if I tried to talk to Nidaz and fall underneath their tutelage. That they'd take my soul in compensation." he frowned.

No one gave up such information without something to earn in return. He could only imagine that would be something Nidaz would want themselves.

"That's the plan Kitra! That is the plan." His smile returned, "Speaking of Amalia Elaide. She was the progenitor of of witchcraft. The one betrothed to the Dark Lord who oversees all of Helheim. The reason why demons are made today in fact!" he explained. " Also, Mikhail Petrakis had an utter control over the timestream, whilst Amalia was capable of turning nightmares into reality."

His eyes beamed with nothing but determination to pass that level of insanity. "And I'd love for you to follow me and explore these relics I hold. Perhaps it could help you in your crafting of helping me absorb and harvest souls into my being." he beamed with joy,"I could even help you write theories if you'd like!" Feeling like a kid in a candy factory, his meeting with Kitra brought about multiple revelations that excited him for the future.

The entire back story of Kitra's family brought about many questions, as he wanted to learn it all. But knowing how his Professor was always busy, and that he still had things to show her. He tried his best to keep his questions and statements to a minimum!

"You got, to teach me, everything!" Practically jumping in place as dark energies flared around him. His insatiable hunger to know all things showed as he edged closer to Kitra, "Of course when you have time, but I'd love to fall under your wing and help you along all your craftings! To learn everything your family has created until this very moment and follow through and adapt. To help you make creations out of this world!" He became breathless as he bounced around with endless energy!

"Come! Come! I gotta show you what I have and what I need help making. Please, follow me!" he ushered, grabbing her arm before heading towards the door. "It'll be fast, I promise!"

(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:45] Kitra gave a small thumbs up. "I'll go look tomorrow and talk to the Docros if not Nidaz if they are around." She just waved off his other concern. It was mutually benefical for Nidaz. She believed their would be no issue.

As for everything else it wasn't a new thing to use soulsteel as a container for souls and there where plenty of other things she knew about with mana absorption having worked with Tyrium and Cold Iron so much. "Sounds great! I can totally help you out and wouldn't mind going to see all those relics. Seems fun! If either of you need anything else just let me know. I'll probably be seeing you both tomorrow. Try coming at the same time so I can teach you runes as a pair. Saves me some breath." She laughs a bit wildly. She rambled, why did she need to worry about losing breath?
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:45] Kitra Denalia says, "Oh! Yeah! Show me what you are making."
[22:46] {Item} You drop Fractured Spirit Stone.
[22:46] {Item} You drop Sphere Of Nothing.
[22:46] {Item} You drop Sano Rizner's Corpse.
[22:46] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "Oh! Hey I have two of those, and that corpse! I gave that to Som. Nice!"
[22:47] Xander Byron asks, "Really? Huh. Could you tell me how you were able to perserve the body?"
[22:48] {Item} You picked up Sano Rizner's Corpse. Dropped by Xander Byron..
[22:48] Kitra Denalia says, "Oh, I didn't perserve it. The Docros did I think! Looks like their handy work. I got that from a friend."
[22:48] {Item} You picked up Sphere Of Nothing. Dropped by Xander Byron..
[22:48] {Item} You picked up Fractured Spirit Stone. Dropped by Xander Byron..
[22:48] Xander Byron says, "I see. Hmm, well I guess that's a question for another day."
[22:48] Xander Byron says, "Anyway, There's more to look at."
[22:48] Xander Byron exclaims, "Come!"
[22:50] Xander Byron says, "Huh."
[22:50] Xander Byron says, "Miss Kitra."
[22:50] Kitra Denalia asks, "Yeah?"
[22:50] Xander Byron asks, "Could I borrow some coin please?"
[22:50] Xander definitely isn't embrassed.
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:50] Kitra Denalia says, "Let's see..."
[22:50] Xander Byron says, "I just need. Six hundred."
[22:50] {Item} Picked up a bag of 600 dropped by Kitra Denalia.
[22:50] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "There you go!"
[22:50] Xander Byron exclaims, "Your the best!"
[22:51] Xander Byron says, "Going to make this my lab one day. Saw it last night."
[22:51] Xander Byron says, "Anyway! Let's head on to the last location."
[22:51] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "Sure!"
[22:52] Xander Byron asks, "Can you swear upon your soul that you won't tell anyone else about what I'm going to show you?"
[22:53] Kitra Denalia says, "Nope! Hahahaha, but I'll do my best."
[22:54] Xander Byron says, "Well, I trust that you won't tell anyone haha."
[22:54] Xander Byron says, "I do appreciate everything. Really do. Especially you taking the time out to help me along my journey."
[22:54] Kitra Denalia says, "No worries. I find it fun."
[22:55] Xander Byron says, "Good to know."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "Alright."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "I'm going to show you the grimoire that I wish to make my own. I was given permission to do so, but I'd also like it to be battle oriented as well."
[22:56] Kitra Denalia says, "What you bring out my friend's grimoire. Hahaha."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "Maybe haha."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "But... I do have to warn you again that the things I'm going to show you is quite.. Unorthodox."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "I'm very serious about my plan to ascend and become a god."
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "And I know that someone like you can help me get there."
[22:56] Xander Byron asks, "So please, try not to go insane by seeing these items okay?"
[22:56] Xander Byron says, "First."
[22:57] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "I won't go insane. Can't break what's already broken. Ha!"
[22:57] Xander waves his hand, summoning the very Grimoire in question before the Denalia. Holding it out for it's words to be seen with metaphysical magic.
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:57] Xander Byron says, "I do hope so..."
[22:57] {Item} You drop Grimorium Verum Of Epimet The Wise.
[23:01] {Item} You picked up Grimorium Verum Of Epimet The Wise. Dropped by Xander Byron..
[23:06] It wasn't her friend's Grimoire. That was a little disappointing, but she looked it over. In fact she started to flip through the pages looking at each page her eyes sharpening and seemingly were trying to pierce past the veil of magic and form that this book created.

At the same time a few things were clear. The first was that she clearly had to take time to block out the visions after first setting eyes on it, and secondly when she opened the pages it seemed as though nothing came to her.

There was no moment of epiphany, no enlightenment, no insanity caused by it. Strangely enough she was trying to see past the book itself. It's foundational energies and magics.

Why was she able to do this?

It was simple. Kitra had the knowledge she wanted at the moment. Maybe when she started a new project or moved forth on an edge that she hadn't explored yet the book would have a greater affect on her, but she simply wasn't lacking in what she wanted to know.

It wasn't that she knew everything at all. She simply knew what she needed to know. Additionally she had trained her eyes since she was able to do so to see and inspect the nature of things.

"This is really amazing! Some of these things sound neat. It would be interesting to see demons walking amongst everyone again." She laughed warmly handing it back over. "Keep that away from prying eyes. OH! It's also an amazing bargaining chip. Not even that you offer it to someone, but you offer to use it for someone."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:23] A hint of disappointment was show, indicating that the grimoire wasn't that of her friends. But it would most likely be impossible since the very book itself felt like it was created from the beginning of time itself.

"What was the name of your friend's grimoire?" He probably did hold it in another location if the name held any resemblance. As for the contents of the book, he expected Kitra to scream in agony. Or atleast appear different than she had moments ago.

What it held had enough to drive anyone near insanity, causing for him to be expelled from the Academy and even more. Yet, they seemed okay. Granting a sigh of relief as he couldn't believe it's possibilities from it's very creation and what it does to the mind of any who read it's text.

"Neat is an interesting way to phrase it." he laughed as he began to place the Grimoire away. "However, this grimoire isn't meant to be used as a bargaining piece. It's to help me ascend and to be used as my very own. I was thinking if you'd be able to help me making it even stronger, and to be used during combat as well."

With another motion of his hand, he pulled out a series of other items as well. "I also wanted your assistance for a big goal of mine Kitra." he wondered as each relic that he began to set before the two held power of omnipotence.

"Have you heard of the rumors of a philosopher stone?" he mentioned, as his tone lowered. His once playful tone disappeared as he grew serious about his next favor soon to be asked.

"I plan to make something similar. An object that absorbs the desires of those around it and to manifest them into reality. To create a material that's composed of a unique substances to be capable of dissolving the boundaries between mortals and gods. To allow any specific being to achieve the capabilities of another." An item whose true power lies in its ability to sense the hearts of those around it and materialize their deepest desire.

"An Hogyoku."

Xander would give Kitra time to look over the materials, wondering if it was possible with what he provided. "Don't worry, I have more items for you to look upon to help start this creation. I hope it wouldn't be too much of a bother to also have your help in creating a laboratory to create this very item of mine." He knew what they were planning to make was borderline impossible. Though, impossible was what he wanted.

"Isn't this exciting? If we could achieve this together?"

[23:53] Kitra had to, but couldn't think of it. "Their name was Klyne and the book was going to be used for things similar to what you are doing, but a bit different at the same time since it's purpose was to consume knowledge and become a great compendium that would help them become a half angel or the like and hey! If you could find his book and add it to your book it would certainly make it much stronger with the power to consume knowledge and potentially absorb the spirit library. His book could be used in combat too." She nodded a little bit.

That was a lot of material! Looking over it while he talked she tried to spot anything that would be essential. Kit took quiet awhile to look things over and even then a bit longer to formulate an idea.

There were so many components and she would probably have to look at them again at some point, but ultimately she had a direction and comments. "First off, of course I know what a Philospher's stone is.There are just two... no" She thought over it a bit more. "Four more items. Two can be of relative low quality. I believe we would need something that maintains the essence of perpetual birth, and another that maintains the essence of perpetual decay. The next is a highly recommend piece. We should have a material the pulls from a far off ether. No." Kit became serious as Xander did. "We need something that is intrinsically connected to the void. All things can come from their and many consider it to have existed before the beginning. That's essential. Finally the core of this should be a very high grade heart of a being of creation. It doesn't matter who or what as long as it maintains it's life and creation properties. That is to say that it can make earth, plants, creature, or something of equal substance from nothing. We also need it to produce blood preferably."

Before going any further Kitra noted. "A portion of these materials that are connected to the Fel, and Helheim will be used to bolster the power source as they have no other value. Seeing how you could potentially need two to four more items to make something that I would consider reality defying in most all aspects is incredible. Almost all the essential are here. My thought would be that we will use to petals and the shiny snake bit to bolster, modify, and maintain the core heart. The Opalescent crystal will need to be modified and have it's connection to the tomb broken and relinked with whoever looks at the stone. The eye will assist in this and allow for greater insight and to pass on it's undying effect to the crystal. The spirit will need to be overloaded so it may evolve into a higher being. That will be the director of the crystal. A few materials can be used to do that. Everything else will be used to crystalize the final project and form it into a more pure mana form. The runic circle to do this will be... well... we are going to probably need a number of people and I'll have to find a better amount of Orichalcum. Just used all mine to make purified Orichalcum."

She smiled laughing a bit. "That's my thought anyway. At least at first glance."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:54] Kitra Denalia says, "I'm not going to explain why I recommend those additional pieces, because I feel it's evident."
[00:18] "Klyne." he repeated, almost as if he was in a fantasy or lost in thought. "Would you know where I could find them? Or possibly get in contact with them?" Klyne was an unfamiliar name, and certainly not the owner of the other grimoire that he held in his collection. Especially since it sounded like it was made during their era.

Pulling forth his rucksack. He pulled forth his textbook, writing down every word Kitra spilled as he couldn't help but find himself absorbed in their work. Drawing his own theories and memorizations if it sounded possible enough to work, but as he lacked the fundamentals to understand it through it's most finest and intricate works. He relied heavily on Kitra's logics and reasonings. Especially how she belonged to a family of talented and skillful crafts, alongside understanding the language of the Divines.

There was no reason to go against her reasoning.

"So something like this can be achieved. To create the item called the Hogyoku. An extreme version of the Philosopher Stone." he summarized with a smile as he finally looked up from his notes. Detailed vividly with everything that they spoke of and more.

"Oh my god I think I love you." he couldn't help but admit. "I can't believe it.. But it must've been by fate. But meeting you... Meeting you..." his voice shook with glee. "I can't believe it! It makes it seem all the more closer! Actually achievable. Like something I could firmly grasp within my hands. Your the best Kitra!" he proclaimed, reaching forward to hug them once more.

"Good to know that I'm only a few items away. Let's go look at the other items that could be used for this experiment."

[00:18] Xander Byron says, "Of course."

[00:29] "Kylne left Esshar. Think he left his book behind somewhere though."

Stretching a bit she nodded. "Yeah! Should work perfectly." Beaming proudly Kit bathed in her own glory that Xander was pointing out. After she was hugged briefly she looked over the next few items.

"The stone is perfect for the end material we need. Even more so with the claw fused with it and the Crystal can serve as a great crucible for all the other components. We won't have to worry about the energy crystallization and just focus on congealing the power inside instead." Of course there were a few more steps to that as well as everything else she said, but it was doable!

"Down to three materials left to get it looks like. I'm certain it will be created in an amazing quality though for sure. Take several steps, but it'll get there!"

A small yawn came from Kit. No more standing. Growing her drakanite features her liquid metal bubbled to the surface and jutted out form their shapes. She then used her metal magic to levitate herself instead of standing. "You are really close to having all the materials. I'm a touch tired, but I can give you a list of things you should start preparing and working on while you wait for a chance to get the materials you need. I may also be able to get one or two. Thought that's unlikely." She laughed warmly. "I got teacherin' to do."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:35] With everything confirmed, and his step towards ascension and completing what he wished to achieve closer than ever before. He couldn't help but relish in the glory that Kitra laid out for him. Especially since they were only a few items down.

"I'd deeply appreciate that letter. But could you please look into another item I have? It's not too far from the Academy as well if that's where your heading." He coaxed, hoping that they were willing to take a look into a couple of other valuables he held.
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[00:38] Kitra let out a brief sigh, but it wasn't like she was going to pass up a chance to look at materials.

"Suuure!" Giving up on attempting movement she reached over patting a medium metal clip to Xander and then tethered her floating self to it with her magic. "Let's go."

[00:57] Kitra took in a deep breath. Oh realms...

So many items. GOOO BRAIN GOOOO!

She was about to speak when she finally saw a thing or two that she wanted, but... well she didn't really need them and she was too tired to ask. Plus she didn't expect to receive them. Not to mention not having projects for them to be actually used currently.

"The orb should be fused with the spirit before you begin enhancing it. It'll direct it towards less of a coherent will and more towards just thoughts that execute what it's told, but on a higher level of thinking." She tapped her chin a little. It seemed other than an item or two serving as good jointing material their wasn't much left here that was special save for the fragments.

"The two fragments are low quality, but having a more diverse array of energies it consume may be good. I would have to double check some things before we use both though." Kitra gives herself a smallbow.

"And that is my assessment of al of the materials. I did notice in this bunch at least one item you should show to a group willing to work with you. The little Globe. It's pointing to something more. Something grander. Probably is worth looking into." She smiled a bit.
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:10] All of the information was well received, especially seeing how he practically reached a point where he had all he needed. Reaching the end goal as work had to be done to achieve this unlimited point of ascending into a higher being and accomplish anything that he wished to make.

"So the creation of the Hogyoku is possible." he smiled wide, glad that all of his lineage's work paid off towards this final moment. For him to achieve the impossible and truly ascend past his mortal shell. To become something entirely different, abnormal in all of its ways.

"If all of this is needed to be used to achieve it's creation. Then so be it." He was willing to risk it all for the unlimited creation. "I'd rather spare some of these items to help in other departments. Creating a settlement for those who follow me, and." he smiled, looking onto Kitra at the notice of the little Globe. "And those who would follow me on such daring adventures." he agreed.

"Thank you for everything today Kitra. I hope that the next time we meet, we can run a bit of test and theories to finally put this into it's production stage." he mused. Glad that most of the hard work was done, now they just had to achieve the impossible with the items they held.

"Hopefully after I create it. It will be possible to merge with such an item." he hummed. Knowing that there were a series of things he wished to accomplish within his life. And if he was able to achieve this, he'd have all the time in the world to do so.

His hunger for knowledge would never be sated, and this was only the beginning.

"For the settlement. It'll be a place that rivals the technology of Barsburg. In technological advances and more, I wish to create technology that was lost to time, if not better than such. To bring it here into now." And once he achieved the possibility to manifest rifts, the world would literally fall to his imagination.

"Thank you again, for everything. I can't wait to study the language of the gods with you some time."
(Xander Byron)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:13] A tired thumbs up was given to Xander.

"Achieve everything you want! Though for a settlement that strong you are going to have to get a lot of people to follow you." She smiled.

"If there is nothing more to show me. I think I've earned a nap, and maybe a pizza."
(Kitra Denalia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[01:14] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "Oh, and mind partly that you don't neeeed to use all the materials on the project, but should still use a good amount and still need a suitable core or the like and something void bound. I highly suggest it anyway!"
[01:16] Xander Byron says, "I appreciate the help Kitra, especially you pushing me to reach such heights! I also plan to have alot of people follow me before such a thing happens. But as of now? It's only plans for the future that I plan to start the foundation for now."
[01:16] Xander Byron says, "You definitely deserve pizza after all of this haha."
[01:16] Xander Byron says, "But yes, I plan to use as much items as possible to create it."
[01:16] Xander Byron says, "The hogyoku comes first."
[01:16] Kitra Denalia says, "Yeah! Everything with time and such. Though that pizza can't come soon enough. Going to put everything and then more on it."
[01:16] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "See you later!"
[01:17] Xander Byron says, "Be safe Kitra, thank you for everything."
[01:17] Kitra Denalia exclaims, "No problem!"
