[viktor grins, megumi's enthusiasm easily feeding into his own.] Precisely. You see this effect, darkblood has many abilities over gravity and reality. But paleblood? It has mental capabilities, and even its gems can cause a trance.

So a machine that can tap into paleblood should be able to, at the very least, create a field that would lull a beast to sleep. My hope is we can expand upon that, that the field can soothe and open beasts up to a better state of mind and ease the process of exorcism.

[he starts moving a little, gesturing to the muffins.] Please have some if you would like- and yes, it is a matter I am incredibly interested in, mixing gem types. Imagine the versatility! It would be like building a spell, piece by piece, covering for weaknesses with the strengths of other gems.

[he does notice those dark circles by the way, making note of it. probably why he gestured to the muffins, not exactly a cure all but a muffin never hurt, right?]
