Cid here.

Wanted to leave a quick note and thank you to everyone who helped test my little inventions last month. They should be finalized and ready for official public release next month, but as promised those who helped will receive theirs earlier once ready. Just let me know where to send them off or I can contact you for pick up later.

On that note, I wanted to inquire if anyone had any requests or suggestions as to what I, or any other inventor here, should work on. Whether it's improvements or some alternate version of something that already exists here, or perhaps something similar from your own world.

While I am working with magitech, I am more interested in electrical and mechanical engineering, and I'd rather stay away from weaponry unless it's more for defensive or nonlethal use. So anything of that nature will be more my type.

Always appreciated.
Cid

It has helped quite a bit, and a reason I am hoping the same can be applied her. Even plants can show subtle but very telling signs, and eve habits of growth can show it.

There is far more outward magic- in my world creatures known as Pokémon are the only things with abilities that could be counted as elemental magic. I am, given some of my expertise is in crystal, and manipulating their energy for other things. Tera crystals do magnify the power behind Types- or specific elements, if you will. The fire crystals remind me a little of Fire Type Tera crystal shards enough that with care I believe I can refine them in a similar way to use as a safe power source.

With some testing, of course.

[ramuhs]

Mind explaining more about what you mean? Particularly do the crystals drain or absorb from their surroundings, or do they produce the magic themselves?

[fractales]

The crystals produce the energy, given they themselves are the source of the phenomenon I spent so many years studying. They can reflect various elements depending on the type of pokémon they might have shattered from- or formed around the den of. A reason they are capable of empowering a pokémon, making attacks of a certain Type so much stronger.

Honestly, it was quite fascinating.

[ramuhs]

So they were a creation of their environment — and pokémon?

[fractales]

It is said they came from a meteorite that crashed into ancient Paldea, leaving what we know as the Great Crater given how large and deep it is. They grow throughout the crater zone, and are scattered a bit through Paldea as well.

Their energy affects Pokémon, and can be used as a powerful energy source when enough of it is gathered and refined. Some of it is far more general, and much more rare clusters seem to hone in onto a certain Type.

A reason the fire crystals remind me some of Fire Tera Crystals, the energy they produce and it being specialized.

[ramuhs]

[...Well that's interesting.]

Yet isn't there a risk of the crystals becoming depleted? Unless they are able to "repopulate" themselves.

[fractales]

They happen to do so, yes. They naturally grow, more so in areas where it is saturated with their own energy or a solution is made to encourage growth.

Of course most do not work with them in such a way, given I am the only person back home that has researched them to the point I've been able to do so.

[... for the most part, at least. It was Turo's patent that was followed to create Tera Orbs and little else was made with the crystals as far as he knew.]

[ramuhs]

[The crystals do seem at least better compared to what he has to deal with back home...]

Do you think the same could be said of the crystals in this world? I'm more used to them being a bit of a "finite" resource and with limited uses, so it's been a curious thing working with the crystals here.

[fractales]

They may grow more naturally in their respective elements? Given where we are finding fire crystals as the example, of course. I am hoping it can be encouraged, and they are not so finite.

So far the only limits I have noticed is if they are destroyed by improper handling.

[ramuhs]

If they can naturally grow then that would be a boon, particularly if that means it's possible to cultivate them.

Though surely there have been some research on them already. Don't suppose you may have looked into and have some recommendations?

[fractales]

I have been tempted to set up experiments to see if it is possible; perhaps I should push them closer to the top of my list. Would you also like to assist?

Most ways seem to come from various jewelers, carefully refining the crystals to be worn as magical charms. It is a good use for them, of course.

[ramuhs]

If you don't mind, I would be most interested in it. I have to help with your little barrier test as well.

[fractales]

I wouldn't mind at all, as I do believe knowledge like this should be shared. Better to have more hands involved of those who know what they are doing, as it furthers the chance of something coming of it. As all the help with testing the barrier is welcome as well.

[ramuhs]

Then I'll figure out a good date and make the proper arrangements.

[fractales]

Excellent, that seems a sound plan to me.
