*Ryker looked between the Kemonomimi and the construct. It's been a while since he's seen anyone interested in magitech. At least not since he had originally left Amongko. Granted he was hardly well-versed then either. He removed the gauntlet he was wearing from his hand, deciding to take a pause from his work for now.*"Do you know about golems?"*He asked the Kemonomimi.*"Or Kuilei as... Your kind typically utilize as far I'm aware historically."
Brenda
"Yes. I know of them. I've... Had the misfortune to encounter a few. Not so talkative and pretty violent in some cases" *Kibaru answered with a nod as he inspected the gantlet as well*
John
*He regarded him for a moment.*"Quite lucky you got the chance to see them in action. I've been having to work blindly for some time with them being a rare occurrence for me to witness. Fortunately, I've recently gained one as an ally so I now have something to work off of."*The Oni stood up and took a couple steps back from the construct.*"I'm working on something similar, but attempting to make it more useful as a Mount with a different design and much larger in size. Decided to base it on these Draram creatures I've encountered recently."*He eventually answered, seeming rather proud of what looked to be a mesh of metal and earth. If the Draram image imprinted anything, it looked to be as if the construct was lying on its side, completely unmoving however.*
Brenda
"Well you've got a long way ahead of you from the looks of it. But at least you've goten a start in the project of yours... Can't say I've ever met any who are quite so facinated with these golems before now." *Kibaru look at the metal scattered about* "The question is what do you need to get it to move"
John
"It's uncommon for someone to be, I've noticed."*He said in response, crossing his arms thusly.*"Ever since I've left the east, I haven't really encountered any artificers. I'd hardly consider myself one originally, but I take my learnings seriously. The group I'm currently working with seems to find themselves in constant battles. I'd rather be prepared in any way beforehand."*He gazed back at the half-finished construct, answering the Kemonomimi's next question.*"Mana. A lot of mana. I'll admit, it's very draining putting these constructs together, but once it's finished, it should have enough stored in it to be able to work on its own."
Brenda
"Hmm. Well i guess blue Oni are blessed with mana... Compared to their Red counterparts anyhow" *Kibaru nodded with the idea. However it seemed Kibaru ha a little stronger mana than the oni. For the moment...*
John
"Quite..."*He said before looking back at Kibaru.*"Kemonomimis are also well-versed in magic as far as I'm aware. You don't seem to be focused on the more artificer side of magic. Is there a different magic school you specialize in?"
