It's from Saeri, if you've heard of her. [ If not: ] You write in a language that's magic, with stuff in the ink. Blood, whatever -- you can put it together a few ways. She made smoke bombs and fire out of a few stones. Was how I found out about her ink.

You just need a lil' magic in you to activate it. But you throw a stone with that paleblood? You can write how it works -- make it affect what you want, how quick and strong.

[ A beat. ] Probably can with your stuff too, but I've never seen tech and magic. Wouldn't know how it works.

[ But he's still intrigued, admittedly. Tech isn't that hard to figure out if you take some time with it--it's just about learning what each piece does. How to crack it. ]
