layered net conjuration!

[incanted]

[Hey Brilliance, the welcoming committee and the new Bell are basically okay and we're going to make Jane a Device body as soon as Aegis gets back with Sue, c'mere and help.]

[Agent Honey? You back in this world?]

"Should I have any add-ons like you do? Like your coinsorter? Am I going to be able to do Rainbow magic?"

[cardistry]

"You're going to be - oh," says Brilliance. "Yeah, shit - complex Devices kind of need wielders, you probably don't want that. The whole point of this is that you should be tucked up safe in the Belltower, not running around doing magic with somebody."

[mind_game]

"Why don't I want that? They don't have to run around with me doing magic, do they? Whoever it was, probably Aegis or maybe Glass since she was planning to turn into a mage anyway?"

[cardistry]

"Okay, but - you don't want to need a wielder, right?" he says. "Like, that is not a thing you would include on purpose, if you were designing this?"

[mind_game]

"I don't want to need anything," says Jane. "But needing a wielder sounds easier to handle than needing food and sleep and climate control, so being a complex Device might still be a better deal than being a biological."

[cardistry]

"I'm gonna try to wish it so you don't need a wielder," says Brilliance. "Because I don't know how that kind of need would work with you being the way you are, and I don't want it to fuck things up. Okay?"

[mind_game]

"Okay. Why, is it that bad?"

[cardistry]

"It's not bad," he says. "Not always. But I mean - that's me. I have my Aurora and we work the way we work. I think if you needed a wielder, having somebell link up to you and then never do magic with you might not cut it, and then it could get pretty bad, and I don't want that."

[mind_game]

"Okay. I'll defer to your Devicive expertise."

[cardistry]

He laughs.

"Cool. Agent Honey, Adularia, anything to add?"

[withmypowers]

Matilda shakes her head.

[cardistry]

Brilliance tries a hex, then a star.

The star goes, with all specifications included.

[mind_game]

And here is Jane.

She holds perfectly still for four seconds, then she takes a step, and then she lifts her arms and tilts her head. "Okay, I can operate this," she says.

[cardistry]

"Awesome!" says Brilliance.

[pythbox]

"Yeah, you sure did move," says Sue.

[mind_game]

"Hi, parentals," Jane says, waving.

[pythbox]

"Hi!" says Sue. "Can I hug you?"

[mind_game]

"Okay," says Jane.

[pythbox]

Hug.

[mind_game]

Hug.

[autokinetic]

Aegis takes a turn next. "I have given birth," she giggles.

[pythbox]

Sue cracks up and hugs them both.

[mind_game]

When the hugging is all through, Jane turns into her gem form, floating at about eye-level.

"Can somebody torchable me and hit me with the standard wards and then I can go put myself on a shelf?"

[incanted]

"Torchabled. Warded."

[mind_game]

Float float float. She disappears up the stairs. "Thanks guys!"
