While emulsifying, the power would allow you to create an unstable black smoke-like substance (that's smokite) that would allow for things to emulsify (things to be alloyed together). However, once you lose the power, you wouldn't have had enough skill to permanently graft them together, so only the smokite would be binding them. As soon as you would lose the power, it would un-emulsify. Also, the powers of transformation (the ones that allow you to have more magic) would require you to have been in direct contact with the magic itself (So like a core, or someone using their magic on you) however, as soon as the powers end, it would be reversed. Temporary shaping is mostly used for experiments, not long term use.

The robotic arms touched the two metals together, and Rebus stepped up to them, touching the connection point. He kept his hand still, though the Nullite was uncomfortable for him to touch, and black smoke surrounded his finger for a mere moment. The metals he touched exploded with light and darkness, respectively, leaving a dappled grey where they had fused, smoke leaking off of it. But the light and darkness didn’t stop when Rebus removed his finger - moving quickly, he ensured there was a bit of the material not leaking smoke, then ended his use of the powers (for good reason - he’s unstable enough already). There was another rush of energy, Rebus’s hand briefly falling to pieces while the air moved as one, causing a ringing sound. Then the combined material stabilized, and Rebus grinned.

She smiled back. "Oh, don't worry about me. I've been gathering more abilities." Probably not of note, but she had a new pair of boots. 

"I would be disappointed as well. I hardly know any of the other characters." She clasped her hands behind her back, stepping down off her disc and starting towards the grand doors in case he wanted to follow. 

“Exactly. Depending upon how this goes, you may have to step in to contain it.” 
Rebus dropped to the ground in the center of the dance floor, then followed her after a brief moment.

What emulsifier did he use? I must've missed that.

Taeidin walked into the town. It was of an average size, with sturdy brick buildings and shops lining the main street and a jumble of houses spanning outwards from it. An old wall still surrounded most of the town.

I'm sorry, what just happened? There is no way Rebus had enough skill with a power he has never used to be able to make a permanently stable substance. Also, that whole paragraph is confusing.

Taken aback, Taeinid replies. 

"It is? I mean of course it is, why wouldn't it be?"

"... Just out of curiosity, what's your name?"

As Afterimage appears, Taeinid shies away slightly.

He got Muin’s “help”, which let him use Muin’s powers to prevent the metals from doing what they were supposed to (which would be repelling each other). They combined, bleeding off the Light and Darkness as mundane photons and destruction of photons. Then he used that material as an emulsifier itself, making a more stable combination (which will keep decomposing, but it will also continue combining the metals). He’s got a couple more steps to go through, though. 
Yeah, they’re fun. I think I’ve got a much better grasp of how things should work, simply through explaining them. I’m kinda sad I missed that Nullite discussion earlier.

Ordered Chaos cannot exist naturally, but one of the things it can do is amplify counterintuitive interactions (thanks to emergence). One of those interaction is its own creation, so it can make more of itself given the correct materials. Take fire as an example - I would quite logically be shocked if some guy hit a rock with a metal rod and suddenly made a big glowing thing, but I’d be far less shocked if someone took said rock and metal rod - flint/quartz and steel - and used it to start a small fire, then light a large fire. Muin’s powers were a metaphorical fire starter, making an initial “flame” in the form of the first portion he merged. That combined more Nullite and Prismite before Rebus dropped the power and it decomposed into Order and Chaos. Said paradoxium(or whatever we end up calling it) will continue decomposing, but it can combine more Nullite and Prismite before it does, making the reaction stable in the short term.

"Right...right...you're definitely the exact person I was looking for, the almighty Lord Sir Holy Almighty Daren HIMSELF," Taeidin said, sounding unsure of himself. 

[The Great Wyver She/Her]

"Yes!" Lord Sir Holy Almighty Daren said, not noticing how unsure Taeidin was. "That is I! What services do you require, mortal?"

That... actually makes sense yeah. huh. Also, what Nullite discussion?

We were discussing Afterimage using Nullite dust as part of his ghostly body.

They saw a small hill in the distance. The ground around them seemed to be made of crystal.
