Chapter V

The next morning he woke to the expected headache. The night before had went well, he only hoped that Monique wouldn't be put out with him for using the company name in his visit to the palace. Setting up he was reminded of his overuse of magic the night before as his vision blurred. He wanted to get to work on his idea of augmenting his own magic but he knew he should wait a day at least before he started on the project. With nothing else to do he began carving out more small wooden tiles. He could just use wood or metals but he discovered that if he used two different bodies one holding the spell and the other the link to him it made using them much easier, and wasted less magic.

Using a thick stick of charcoal and one of the many pieces of brown butcher's papers he began working on a diagram for his staff. He wanted it to be made of marblewood and it needed to be about six foot long. If he worked it the same way he had the music box using a large diamond as the core focus, and other gems as sub cores it would greatly increase its potential. If he could get his staff made along with his rune necklace he would be incredibly dangerous. The staff would increase his power while reducing the strain and the necklace would allow him to cast spells with reduced focus and feed him saved magic, and if he made both with the other in his mind he might even be able to make them more effective.

To test his theory he planned to make a weak version of each before sinking a large amount of gold and time into the full project. He already had a large selection of magical items for Monique, and it was still weeks before she would be coming back through the capital. He had other project in the works too like making an offensive ring. He had tried using metal but no matter how well made any conduit of magic got some feedback from the spell which, with a fire spell, resulted him getting a bad burn. He had tried lighting with wood but it blew apart nearly taking off his finger with it. He had a workable idea for fire, making a stone ring with a metal coating on the outside but hadn't yet come up with a workable idea for lighting, or his explosive spells yet. Mental effects like his paralyzing spell were easy since metals and woods didn't have a conscience to effect.

Early the next morning he donned his disguise and headed straight for the carpenters shop. He was pleased to find that due to an order for a marblewood table they had some left over wood in the back that they had yet put to use. The longest block being seven by one by one, much bigger than he needed but with the superior magical conduit ability of the wood he was sure he could find a use for the extra.
