"So best bet for regenerating mana is just hunting a stone down. Dang. No reasonable way to make a regenerating stone then? What makes a high class stone high class?

Probably just a core, yeah. Heard it from my construct teacher a while back, they didn't go into it.

So Memory Stones can be changed? Is that AM manipulation too?"

Emiel: "Well, no reasonable way right now, the research could make improvements. As for what makes a stone high class or not, it's mana regeneration and size. The higher the regeneration and the smaller the size, the higher grade the stone. A handful of leviathan stones could power all of Magusalto's lights and stationary constructs with some mana to spare.

Memory stones can be changed, yeah. Either telepathy or some precise AM manipulation, either'd work."

"You seem to be in luck, she is wondering about you and why you don't really seem interested in girls. It could be a good moment to break the ice. She also had the thought about why Dandelion Bryant figurines aren't produced in larger quantities since it's production doesn't seem to be too complicated and they sell fast. Why not start a conversation using that as an excuse?"

"They are a good sort. We have a kinetic melee specialist, good fighting strength all around, and a chirop with a telepathic focus.

So far as I can tell, Lucida has raised hell around its containment site, exterminated several camps of bandits, caused mass destruction fighting Torrent in Vranhal. It is exceedingly difficult to reason with."

"Hm. What about a construct that can cast without consuming mana, like people can?

How hard is changing the memory stone with each method? Like, what would you say is the simpler way to learn?

God I wish we had time and weren't in an anti-magic room, it's so hard to ask and learn without seeing it in action or trying it myself."

Emiel: ”You’re using mana every time you’re casting, but it’s sort of, well.”

He scratches his head for a moment, confused.

Emiel: ”Hmm, can’t remember for some reason. I believe it’s a form of AM, but I can’t recall for the life of me how exactly it worked. I… researched it before? No, I don’t believe so.

Anyways, memory stones, both work well provided you know how to work data, telepaths are usually better just because that’s just the thing they do. You won’t be binding spirits without telepathy, though. If you’re already making AM stuff, might as well just stick to mana control.”

You take off your coat and then switch your dress shirt for the hair shirt, and then don your battered armor over that, and the two of you leave the city towards Teleiat.

The two of you soon reach a watch tower, where you see Vandolf with two chirop, one in armor and another in a red cloak.

Tabi: ”Hum. Does anyone know Lucida’s objective”

She's just a pretty chirop after all, not an evil monster."

You exit the room, and once you’re out of the facility, Power Flow and then Intermission three times.

Linna takes a look around before speaking.

Linna: ”So, the project is something about constructs casting similar to us?”

Gesturing towards Vandolf while lowering your voice and directing it towards Tabi -

"In the distance there is the lupus who troubled us earlier. He has good intent. If he wishes to help, he will also come to Teleiat."

Tabi: ”If you trust him, then I’m fine working with him.”

Doesn’t look like he noticed you yet.

Enjii: Alright, here I go.

He walks up to the counter.

Enjii: ”Hey, do you have any Dandelion Bryant figurines left?”

Worker: ”No, we sold out as soon as we put ‘em up on the shelves.”

Worker: Midnight shift sucks

Enjii: ”That fast? How many do you guys get in a shipment?”

Worker: ”Only five in the last one, I think ten in the one before that?”

Enjii: ”Are they expensive to produce or something?”

Worker: ”Not even! They’re just blobs of clay pressed into a mold, baked, and then painted. They’re like all the others!”

Worker: Artificial rarity is stupid! Just give everyone the figurines they want!

Enjii: ”They’re that easy to produce? Huh.”

Worker: I wonder how hard it’d be to put together a figurine-making construct.

Enjii: Now what?

Bauen: ”They are. When you open a gate, it is easy for anything to slip through from the otherworld. They then manifest in the physical world, taking forms of terrain, monsters, and disasters. It is easy to cause a catastrophe with a gate. A skilled shaman though, can control what passes through the gate to a degree.”

> Keep looking for our Chirops. Try the shops, they probably got bored of watching Linna and I hit each other.
"Seems like it, yeah. I understand the secrecy now. I would've thought it was just some kind of construct core or something of the sort from the name. But it seems like it may be a material instead of an object. Would make sense if they need Emiel's experience with mana generating materials.
A construct that can cast without needing any mana, the idea is terrifying. Imagine that an expert constructor, with a few weeks of work, could manufacture a team of high level mages. Or mass production of target-hunting arrows. The possibilities are huge, but the implications are even bigger.
This may be more report-worthy than Emiel being locked up."
