> "So... you control magic? Like, all of it? Does that mean you can do like whatever you want or something?"
"Potentially. I did mention the 'limited by what they can control' caveat, didn't I? I haven't quite mastered it, but I will, in time.
Actually, I've had my share of screw ups. Awhile ago I tried to do something I wasn't prepared for, and some fragments of the crystal shot off and scattered. It's not a big deal, but it does mean I can't access those fragments until I find them again. They're not very powerful on their own, but it's a princible of the thing. You could think of them as very narrow elements of the godhood I've acquired."
"... lack of control is very dangerous, with this sort of thing."

> "Could I just SHOOT the crystal?"
"It's indestructable to normal weapons, and abnormal, and pretty much anything else you want to throw at it. It is Magic, after all. How could you destroy Magic?
... I suppose you could banish it. But I don't think you're the kind of person who can do that."

>>32156
> "So wait... If I kick your ass and take the crystal... does that mean I control magic?"
"Well, you'd have to kill me first.

It attunes to the owner. It can only be used by the owner. At least in its truest form. It's made finding the fragments a bit more difficult than I'd like. There are a few complicated ways to change ownership...
... but the simplest means you'd simply have to kill me."

No need, Rastin comes to her.

The force of the blow shudders through her arm. If it weren't for her GODLY GLOVES, Kara's certain it would've shattered into a million pieces by now.
As it stands, she can just barely match him.

"It's so much more personal this way, isn't it?!

>>32284

Continue with the fistfight, then, suddenly, kick him right in the nuts. No amount of magic can protect you from that.

>>32284

SMASH Rastin up good. Or at least try. He's still holding your coffee, and presumably can't fight as well right now. If he drops the coffee, wait for a cheap shot from the bastard before diving to catch it.
