OOC: Philosopher's stone?<br/><br/>"So that scar tissue... That's for real? Thaumic patterns are usually metaphors." Ptricia looked ill.<br/><br/>When he hauled out the package, her wedjat started showing a massive glow leaking from within the covers. "Whoa! I'm getting a massive thaumic power reading..."<br/><br/>She snatched the magic detector and deactivated it with a single motion. "It's... over nine thousand!"<br/><br/>As he moved to give it to her, she shied away. "Put it away! Do you know what that thing would do to me if I held it without the proper protective charms?" She tapped her chest, which did interesting things in response.<br/><br/>"Magical creature... shapeshifter..." She pointed at the package. "Magical amplifier. I don't know exactly what would happen, but it would probably be spectacular, and quite possibly involve the terms 'Blast Radius', and 'Glowing Crater'. For now just put it away, and I'd suggest not showing it to anyone. That thing is worth a lot of money... and I mean a _lot_ to any spellcaster. But you're right. Used properly, it could make fixing your pain in the neck a whole lot easier."
