But that was true of the other materials they had produced too—they needed to be affordable for them to see widespread adoption. Could less mixture be used? Could some of the ingredients be omitted? There was more testing to be done. The biggest problem of all, though, was the magic required. Powerful mages could be hired to create these materials, but that would make them very expensive. Mass production would also call for numbers and time.

Lucia poked at the edge of the cushion. “More of these beads would be nice, but making lots of them takes lots of magic too...”

The fine cushion beads were the most promising of the materials so far. They didn’t seem to require delicate enchantment; rather, they seemed to fairly explode out of a burst of strong magic. Dahlia did some poking as well. “I wonder if we could get everyone to blast it at once and make a whole bunch of them.”

“Dahlia!”

“Chairwoman Rossetti...”

“Chairwoman...” They all turned to her with terrifying looks on their faces.

Oops. Shoulda kept that to myself.

“As they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Jonas?”

“Yes, sir.”

Bernigi and Jonas approached the workbench, and without so much as a count-in, they synchronously struck the little plate of mixture with their powerful magic, instantly turning it into fine beads. They somehow even nodded at the same time. “Jonas, could you lend me a mana potion? I should like to give it my all.”

“It is yours for the taking.” He began distributing bottles to the others as well. Bernigi drank his without any hesitation, and Augusto took his, seemingly understanding the implications: everyone was to have a full tank of gas for this next challenge. Dahlia took hers too. Marcella grimaced as he knocked it back—partially because of surprise and panic, but also, of course, because of the astringency. All of these potions were icky, frankly; surely the alchemists could make some improvements.

“Master Dahlia, would you be so kind as to concoct more of the liquid mixture?”

“Of course. I’ll get on it right away.” She did as Bernigi asked, making as much of the stuff as there was powdered kingsnake shed available. Leone lent a hand too; he was as quick as any active magical toolmaker, shocking her a third time today.

Then, all parties made their way to the rear of the manor. They covered the ground with waterproof cloth, placed the excessively large basin—almost a bathtub, really—on top, and dumped buckets of the mixture in. Directing was Guido, around whom were a few mages standing by. He explained that they were there in case healing magic was required, contrary to Dahlia’s assumption that they would be providing the necessary fire or earth magic; she felt terribly sorry.

“If we are all ready, then let us begin!”

Augusto, Marcella, Bernigi, and Jonas—all wielders of much magic in their respective elements—took astonishingly little time to coordinate themselves. Perhaps the pair of earth magic wielders were particularly affinitive, but even so, it seemed like even their expressions were awfully similar—so thought Dahlia as she watched over the enchanting.
