Oh, it's holding it up great so far! Thank you again for doing it.
It makes me happy every time I see it!

[Anyway]

But yeah, they're all tied to the ARCUS.
It's a bunch different things, but one of them's an ice spell!
Though I bet it doesn't hold a candle to Goemon's power.

[fabrefactions]

It's no problem. You did commission me after all.
It was quite a delicate piece to do in the end. I enjoyed it.


Don't write yourself off so quickly. Goemon is still tricky for me to maintain over long periods of time - you would likely have endurance over me, and may have stronger attacks, if yours were weaker at first at all.

[fiddlestick]

Good. It was worth every penny!

I'm not writing myself off! I have every intention of keeping up with you guys.
Still, Goemon specializes in ice, right?
Canon, my master quartz, specializes more in healing and liquid water magic.
So I wouldn't be surprised if you could surpass with ice.

Still, Personas really do pack a punch. If you could find a way around the endurance problem, you'd be set.

[fabrefactions]

I'm glad to hear it.

Your quartzes are all individually named?
That's... quite detailed. And you say master quartz? Is that different to a regular one?

I suspect as with many things endurance based, the answer is to keep summoning them until you can handle it. As an example, I feel that Goemon is more powerful than he was when I first got him, and I am able to summon him for longer periods of time. But using him exclusively would still be a drain on me, should I attempt it.

[fiddlestick]

Only master quartz are named I think. The others are just called by the spell they have.
And yeah, they are. They power the ARCUS, grow stronger over time, and they have more abilities.
Like Canon's the reason I can regenerate without needing to cast anything.

Hmm...that makes sense. So you just need to keep training.
I know Souji buys my coffee when he trains, since it restores magical energy.
So maybe that could help you if you have to use him for awhile
Downside, it tastes really bad.

[fabrefactions]

So there are... smaller, individual quartz with single uses, and powerful ones with multiple uses?
Regeneration is a very powerful ability. I can see why you'd want to train it up and become proficient in it. You healed that bruise of mine up almost instantly.

I'm trying smaller uses like... chilling drinks, or icing objects. As well as larger,
battle uses for it when I get the chance to use them.

...

...

[ Ah. ]

Your cooking is usually very good though?

[fiddlestick]

Aha, you got it!
The singing thing is actually something I can do without my ARCUS. And that's the same for my ability to give people regeneration. But Canon gives me regeneration automatically, which just makes things easier.

That's really impressive Yusuke!
And a good training strategy, it's really important to learn control on the small and large scale.
I should come to you next time I need something chilled.

Yeah...not my coffee.
Not sure what I keep doing wrong, but it keeps coming out sludgey
And gritty? It's bad.

[fabrefactions]

... Your magic abilities play to your natural singing and musical abilities? That sounds very clever.

If I can help, I'm happy to do so.
It feels like very slow progress though... but a lot of things in life are. Slow but steady.

... Are you filtering it properly?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah. I got lucky there! ... Or it's proof I always have music on the brain.

Hehe, I know what you mean.
It'll take awhile, but I know you'll get it!

Um, maybe?
I forget- is the filter supposed to dissolve with the coffee?

[fabrefactions]

Or maybe you were drawn to a type of magic that played to your strengths?

[ ...

...

...

... ah. Oh gawd. ]

... No. No, the filter is not supposed to dissolve with the coffee, Elliot.

[fiddlestick]

Oh.






Oops?

[fabrefactions]

[ internal high pitched noise of distress ]








Does this happen every time you make coffee...?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah. Not sure why.

Good thing Akira makes good coffee, huh?

[fabrefactions]

Yes. I think it is...

How on earth did you dissolve a coffee filter?

[fiddlestick]

I'm not sure?

It just happens...

[WE JUST DON'T KNOW]

[fabrefactions]

It shouldn't be that easy to dissolve a filter...

[ H O W ]

[fiddlestick]

Aha, maybe it's magic?

[Nevermind he was doing this BEFORE he had powers]

[fabrefactions]

It's... something. Certainly.

[ HOW. HOOOW. ]

[fiddlestick]

Yeah.....

But it really does restore magic energy! Just think of it as medicine!

[fabrefactions]

They do usually say that all medicine tastes ...
less than wonderful, so I will do my best

[ and get Akira to make all his coffee ever. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Yeah. That's fair]

Hehe, I believe in you!

[fabrefactions]

You said something about it restoring magic?
How does it do that...?

[fiddlestick]

Er-
Well, it's like...an energy drink for the soul?
Or whatever energy source that you use that fuels your spells.
I think the term is "mana"?
I'm not entirely clear what it is though.

Still, I know it works.

[fabrefactions]

... Like drinking an energy drink?
But for spells rather than mental alertness?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah! That's it!
