Yes, I suppose there is that. [viktor offers with a faux sigh, amusement coloring the edges of his tone. the first question has him consider a moment how to explain it, always harder in this world where the rules of magic change so drastically.]
Largely it was a matter of finding a way to stabilize arcane energy and use rune work to ah... encourage a synergy between the machine in question and the arcane. There are highly unstable crystals that house such energy, which were our main focus when doing the work. I would explain it as...
[he leans forward a bit, starting to gesture not unlike a professor passionate about their subject.] Your thanergy, it is at its core arcane, a source of power, yes? Like power it needs conduits and pathways to be used to its full potential rather than decaying or fizzling out. Those are natural in necromancers - Hextech finds ways to replicate that natural affinity and allow the power source to flow. It takes a great deal of very complex circuitry and, perhaps more so, an understanding of the language of the arcane itself. Its ebb and flow, how it shapes itself when it forms a spell.
I believe it's a possibility with nearly any source of arcana, though obviously I have only dealt with the magic of my own world. [he rubs the side of his neck, not sheepish exactly but aware he got into a bit of lecture there. and that was only the first question, pal is right he might end up just rambling away instead of getting his own answers.
ah well, it's a pleasant time regardless. he does attempt to speak more concisely.] Our latest projects were a much smaller scale- one was a pair of gauntlets for miners with several properties- shielding from cave-ins, enhanced strength and taking the strain of the labor to ease fatigue. My next hope had been a water and air purification system.
[a little wistful there, that's a dream he was never sure they'd actually manage to get funded. certainly not in his short lifetime. the last question makes him shake his head, blissfully unaware that a certain jinx not only has one of the stable crystals but a weapon she made from it. ignorance is very much bliss in this case.]
No, I am afraid not. I believe I could replicate it with the blood magic here but I do not know enough of it to make the attempt, or know if it was an attempt worth making. [he offers a smile, amused and understanding of the interest, given his badgering before.] I admit I hope one day perhaps I could get my hands on one of the crystals, since items sometimes wash up on shore. No luck so far, but if I do I will be glad to show you the capabilities.
