Introduction
As you crawl down the sewers, you are not met with a smell of sewage. Instead, many different smells meet your nose. They smell like cooking, both good and bad. Welcome to Xip's (pronounced Zip) Arcane Underground. This is a members only club, and at some point you have been invited. Here you can buy anything you could need. Raw Essentia, wands, imbued metals, and dull crystals.
The Magic
There is no spell casting in this world. Magic is simply any change that uses aspects, or its raw form essentia. You can use this to change one item to another, or make machines that do marvelous things, or more efficient ways to smelt, or powerful weapons, or even chests that pick up items for you. The possibilities are endless.
The Wands
Wands are made by crafting a rod of some material, usually metal, wood, or reeds, and attaching an infused crystal, a dull crystal with has been soaked in essentia, on it. Depending on the aspect of the crystal used as the focus and the type of rod used as the handle, the wand will have different results, from shooting flames to causing alchemical reactions. Wands are the entire basis of magic, causing everything to start in motion.
When used, a wand will slowly burn up the crystal that is attached to it.
The Aspects
Everything in this world has aspects to it. When you extract aspects, usually by boiling water in a special cauldron then throwing the objects in, you get a liquid called essentia. Essentia is the raw form of aspects, and can have some rather undesirable results when not handled with care. It is the basis of all magic. You can use essentia to make new materials, power magical machines, or convert dull crystals into other types of crystals.
The Location
It's 2018 in the town of New Nexus. New Nexus is a new metropolis in the eastern US, Ohio to be specific, just south of the Canadian border. This has made New Nexus a nice trade town thanks to a now booming Canadian economy. To most residents of New Nexus, magic is but a thing of stories, but to the select few that were invited into Xip's Arcane Underground.
In the north of New Nexus lies the main shopping district, in which you may find one or two people who have connection to Xip. They can offer you many different things related to magic. The east section is home to many industries and a surprisingly well maintained abandoned factory that has yet to be bought. In the west is the bulk of the trading depots and car sellers. To the south is the residential area where almost everyone in the city lives. The south of the city is divided into a series of high class apartments, middle class condos, and low class housing.

"if you do the stabilization I will work on an cooling system I do have something interesting in mind that uses the capabilities of an enderchest

"By the gods, I think you just figured out the way to keep it cool. Rig it up so that the tip, when firing, is in the End, with the result exiting to our world!" Adion said as the idea shot into his head.

Location - Ricardo's secret lab
Ricardo watch adion a bit questioning but did as he say "it seems hard, and to be honest, what is the effect?" he asked curiously

"The End is significantly colder than our world! This might just help to stabilize the entire reaction. Or, at least, help to give it a longer firing time." Adion replied.

"mmmm yes that is true, well let's test it then and the honor is your this time" Ricardo said and put the device on the table for Adion

Location - Ricardo's secret lab
After a half hour's time, Adion got the device needed to create the portals finished. Applying it to the staves was not hard, and done in a matter of minutes.
"Here we go!" Adion announced as he fired the staff.
Date - August 14, 2018
Location - Ricardo's secret lab
"well the honor is yours my friend" Ricardo said a set up the testing range "fire away"
Ricardo charged the device and fired feeling the stabalizer and a bit faster "well I be it's stabilizer and faster, I think the end has an more magnatic force then we thought" Ricardo said and watch the timer "already more then 30 seconds"

"Well, that is a good improvement. We should aim for over a minute." Adion replied.
Date - August 14, 2018
Location - Ricardo's secret lab
"we just did over 15 seconds" he said while carrying the devise to a holder without letting go of the trigger "putting it in here so I don't need to hold it" he said and let overview while the device keeps going

"The faster and longer it fires, the more useful to us it will be. Who knows, if it turns out good enough, and small enough, Xip may get some for the task forces." Adion said in reply.
Date - August 14, 2018
Location - Ricardo's secret lab
Ricardo turned to Adion with a death glare "NO F@$%ING WAY!" he yelled to adion "I BUILD THIS TO PROTECT US! ESPECIALLY NOW! sorry but XIP is hunting us. Us? You think, yes us me because I know where you could behiding and you because...you know why for killing veracorps headman"

Location - Ricardo's secret lab
"If Xip were hunting us, it would be for not coming to him to tell him about this. That would make us possible security risks, but he knows better. Who I am worried about is the Vera Corp mercs who will be a little pissed at the loss of their last pay check. It's not like I left evidence." Adion replied, telling the truth as he knew it.
