Nene:*opens the door ans sees a man with bandaged hands* um wow what happened there?
Steven: I'll that's a story I don't want to talk about.
Nene: I see. So you supposed to be a legend here or something, right?
Steven: if you count fighting nothing but 10 Zombie wyverns with nith nothing but my bare hands yes.
Nene: wow. that sounds impressive. …Hey is it also true you got teared a new one by Claire's Nachzehrer?
Steven:…let's change the subject shall we? what do you guys want?
Steven: anyway, the scrolls are basicly indistructable thanks to the mages who made them. I was able to save them…except the one that was stolen.
Nene: what did it do exactly?
Steven: well if you must know its basicly restores the user back to a time in his life when theywere yoing and healthy. there's also something about immortality in there maybe but that part is always a bit hazy.
Nene: what do you mean hazy?
Steven: its complicated…
Nene: So that's what that old creepy dude used?
Steven: he used it?
Nene: yeha.
Steven: that can't be right…
Steven: well the ritual it self is a danger beyond all dangers. even if you had time to translate the scroll from its dead language, grab the correct materials, and head to where ever it guides you it still takes roughly 4-6 weeks to set it all up, and have the proper mages say the enchantments needed to activate the rutual circle(pending on lunch and Dinner Breaks) and need to be mentally preapred to have your will and sanity tested and your body strengthend forged for the oncoming trials. If all goes well you walk out at your best, with no problems.
Nene:…I know I shouldn't ask but what happens if it doesn't?
Steven:ho, well it can be a various amount of things, ranging from hallucenations of the long dead monsters/sins from their past, that I have heard can actually kill you and drag you to hell, to having your soul set aflame, and your body forever contorting and twisting while being jabbed with various things on the inside until it decides to let you collapse wrything in agony, letting you pass out and feel relif for only but a second before it begins to do so again for all eternity.
Nene: so what does it mean, if he did it in 3-4 days?
Steven: 2 things. he either A. had everything set up in advanced(though I highly doubt it) or B. and this is the more palusable situation it wasn't done purely with magic meaning its a "False Magic Ritual".
Steven: not even close, but good try. Basicly a false magic ritual is when the Ritual is not done as fortold. Think of it like taking the warp whistle in that Mario Bros game. its rushed, skips a lot of steps, and gets you there faster.
Nene: so its real? what we saw?
Steven: yes, but there are concequences for rushing such actions…especially if it was done through technomancy?
Nene: technomancy?
Steven: wizards that try to combine tech with magic… it uh, never ends well for them no matter how powerful they say it is.
Nene:Are you saying that's how it was done?
Steven: I'm not one to rule it out…at least not yet.
