Szeth Pancakes he/they Posted May 29, 2023 Author Posted May 29, 2023 “The stones aren’t complicated in themselves.

"I can't immediately think of any way that those could create an ability that requires some form of consent to activate, and I doubt that would be very useful anyways. Worst case scenario this is one of your mages on a power trip, but if that's the case then I bet I could take them down." She looked around. "Specter guy, you can come out now."

"I've killed some reasonably tough nuts in my time. I can handle a wizard." Ayia cleared her throat, and said - louder - "Heya! Specter guy! You can come out now!"
