Come now, my friend. A metaphor, a metaphor was all I meant.
[Of course he realized it was a joke, but the jovial mood left him willing to jest in turn. Still, the second part left him slightly hurt in turn. He had only meant to say they should begin at a low level, Gorthan using only what would be considered small-scale powers, then build up to a higher level.]
Gorthan, please be at ease. I had meant that we need to begin with lower levels of power. As in how the 'moves' are tiered, my good man. Starting from the bottom up.
[However, once the experiment had begun he immediately shifted over to a small spectroscopic machine on his table and switched it on to gauge the reaction level. The gyroscope began to slowly turn, increasing in rotation speed as energy was projected into it. The crystals within the gyroscope's core gave off the same sickly acidic glow in resonance with the host energy, and the rings in turn began to glow as though a neon light flashing and turning all at once.
It was beautiful. Effort had born fruit. Toil, sweat, and long hours were producing a most poetic sight.
A few moments passed, but Agnus waited to record the reactions yet.]
Very good, the reaction was nearly instant! Look, Gorthan! A perfect resonance of power and form, the device is producing exactly the same energy as you are. And, once I engage the mechanism it will send the power flowing back into you. Let me know when you are ready to receive it and we will continue. See if you can harness it to produce a psychic field.
