6th [video]

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!

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

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

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.

[Silence goes through the vine for a number of seconds. There are so many words that they tangle together, choking her with anger and unforgotten -- no, unforgettable -- tears.

When sound does come through again, it's a much quieter voice, almost smooth for all the emotion raging behind it.] People shouldn't be turned into batteries for a science project just because you think it's more important than actually improving their lives.

[And then the Vine makes no more noise.

There's no use talking to someone as amoral as they are. Especially not one seemingly human enough to know better.]
