Xip's Arcane Underground

Xip's Arcane Underground

0 INK

It has taken quite a bit of money to keep the word of magic between tight lips. Magic is to be solely underground and kept only among those who practice it. We also have an abandoned factory that you can practice in.

8,310 readers have visited Xip's Arcane Underground since unseenshadow2 created it.

Introduction

The Underground

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.

"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.

"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.

"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.
