Snippet #2128888

Amelia was impressed with the elemental's powers but was interested in how the tome would react to the spell, as she suspected the tome reacted sharply to the powers of the wizard but this time because the spell he had cast was of a more ambitious nature the tome began to shine in electric energy.
Amelia held the tome with the gauntlet hoping it would provide at least some protection from the electric power and examined the tome with her magnifier lens; one of her only modern pieces of equipment which she used frequently and without reservation.

The tome was quite clearly reacting to the elemental's magic and Amelia could identify a link between the tome and the wizard, Amelia never saw a tome react like this before and was curious to understand why it was doing so.
Amelia increased the magnification and scanned the tome... Amelia at first thought her eyes where being deceived by the light coming out of the tome but then saw that what she saw was no illusion; the tome was not only reacting to the electric power it was itself generating electric power!

Amelia cursed, how could she been so fooled by the common trick? angry with herself she placed the tome on the floor and drew the runes of truetin self around it; the ritual was one of the first she had learned from her master but she had since adapted it for other more exotic uses.

"mirror mirror of day and night, show thy eyes true sight, by hook or by crook expose the deceiver!, tome of runes which in the circle of truth lies i call thy true form! elemental stone!"

energies of light and darkness rouse from the circle and circled each other as if dancing, the tome began to fluctuate rising to the air and then the two energies combined to form a magical mirror.
The mirror and the tome came together but the reflection of the tome was not of its own form; instead it was that of an elemental stone.
Two hands extended from the mirror and grabbed the tome, a few moments past until somthing left the mirror but it was not the tome it was a blue colored orb tingling with electric power.

Amelia caught the stone and sighed; she had encountered many objects which hid themselves however she had never known an elemental stone which chose to do the same. It was still quite embarrassing to have been fooled by such a common trick and Amelia still annoyed with herself tossed the orb to the elemental wizard.

"here you can have it, its an electric orb; one of the elemental stones created by the positions of the stars each one thousand years. They are quite common but i have never seen an electric one before; that element is normally too unstable to fuse into a physical form"

Amelia turned to faced him and smiled, the wizard had helped her after all so he was some one who was worth talking to at the very least.

"My name is Amelia by the way; Amelia Valiant. You can keep the stone, its aligned with your powers so it can only be used by you and you alone"

Amelia began to walk towards the crowd wondering if the stone would be useful to the elemental wizard but decided that it was no longer her business, Amelia would keep an eye on wizard from now on.... maybe they could even be friends some day.
