Further studies with the strange alien objects
These strange alien objects continue to provide true innovation. Yet another experiment has been a great success. A wand with the very same powers that the longsword held. The ability for the wielder to reach out, and attempt to seize the mind of another individual. No spellcasting is required to make this wand, and I could not even cast a spell similar to the one that the wand will cast.
If this proves anything, it proves that these fleshy objects come from some creatures with an innate ability to touch the mind of another living creature. Now, while many aspects of the tinkering craft will look like magic to most, such as spring-loaded boots that can throw a person across great distances, usually it is not magical. In this case, this is clearly not the case, here.
Can these creatures perhaps be reached, somehow? Maybe if a connection could be established, it will become possible to trade with them. If a little bit of their flesh, or perhaps I am working with their tools? If a little bit of this, whatever it is, can lead to these wonders of tinkering. What could they have made themselves? A thought that would certainly be worth studying a bit more closely.
Theories on these strange objects
Now, we have discussed some of the great wonders that this research has already led to. Weapons that would allow a person who has never studied any magic, to suddenly be capable of casting spells from the third and fourth circle. Spells that only fairly accomplished mages would ever get to cast. Could this lead to the end of wizardry as we know it? Will the future grant the humblest of farmers the abilities of the most legendary wizards of today? I hope, and I think, that is not the case. For not only will a scholarly mind be required to even produce these items, but as of now, the materials required are quite rare.
As for why such a future is not hoped for, how irresponsible would a person be with a mighty tool of destruction if all they needed to do was to purchase it at the local market? No years of study, such as what a wizard would need to do. No years of simply honing the craft, learning how to control the energies that someone of sorcerous blood would have to go through. None, simply a purchase at the market, and suddenly a person has the power of a mage at their fingertips. That would likely be too dangerous. No, while such a future would be a possibility, the scarcity of the materials required would luckily prevent everyone from gaining these powers.
Unless, of course, getting in contact with these creatures would allow for a steadier supply.
