I don't really understand much about electricity but if you can use lightning for it, it shouldn't be that hard to make a proper power source. All you'd need is...hmm....

[Yes, it's an intentional video. One of Kris in her workshop, mulling over plans on a table. Plans to make a power source that is perpetual. It's magic, man. MAGIC.]

What if I used a crystal? But that would need recharging after a while. If it had a soul, maybe, but no one would want to give one up. Unless there was a volunteer...

Anyone have any ideas? Throw them at me and it could help me push ahead!

Whatever you do, do not blow up the mansion.

Re: Video

I haven't gotten that far. But when I do my testing, I'll probably do it somewhere else because messing with lightning indoors isn't the best thing to do.

Good.

No setting the mansion on fire either.

Re: Video

I live here so I wouldn't do that either. Wouldn't that make it hard to sleep?

[An audibly upset girl's voice comes through the Vine, unaccompanied by the Mirror.]

Please...don't make jokes like that.

[Voice]

[ported]

Hmm, I wasn't really joking. It's not really my area of magic though.

[Voice]

[heartovertime]

There's no way anyone would volunteer for that sort of thing! [Not with the details up front, anyway.] It's sick...horrible...

[Voice]

[ported]

Lots of people would. Especially the kind of person who lives a bad life and would trade up that life for an immortal life controlling a golem or something.

[hopelessdreamer]

Do you know how to use glyphs at all? I'm not a fonist, but I know a few wind--...well, lightning glyphs.

[ported]

I don't but I might be able to adapt something.

[hopelessdreamer]

You remember that capacity core I gave you? It's the same kind of idea. If you inscribe a glyph into the right material it can store or generate power. Give me a little bit, okay?

I don't know if it'll work since your magic is different, but it's worth a shot.

[hotshot_momma]

Have you tried using chemical batteries?

[ported]

Chemical....batteries? What's a battery?

[hotshot_momma]

...You use it to store electrical energy for when you need it later. Flashlights and all kinds of shit run on batteries.

[ported]

I've still never heard of anything like that. Or a flashlight.

[grandtheftmecha]

Sorry, my soul's pretty happy right where it is.

[ported]

It's for your golem so...hmm, well, you could become the golem.

[grandtheftmecha]

Ugh, no. I bet I couldn't even have sex like that.

[starofpleiades]

Putting souls in gems is definitely wrong!

[ported]

I don't see what the problem is.

[starofpleiades]

It's definitely a problem! People's souls should stay in their bodies! And they definitely shouldn't be used to power things.

[dancing_edge]

What about a potato?

[ported]

Potatoes are only good for eating though.

[dancing_edge]

But if you plug a clock into one it goes round and round!
