I have master degrees in alchemy and enchanting thaumaturgical arts and journeyman in warding, geomancy and divination arts. Which is more than most exalted bother even study.<br/><br/>But that's not I do aim for though. I aim for intellect unsurpassed by likes of dragonbloods and celestial exalted. Simply invent something which neither one have invented before, may it be theory, sorcery or simply magitech which would make twiligth caste drool in awe. Albeit I am limited by my mortal fragility and limited lifespan but I use death as inspiring motivation to achieve greatness far before most of people. My time to become terrestrial is over as I am past twenty already. So only fate decided celestial exaltation is only available option but that's not guaranteed nor something what you can place hopes on.<br/><br/>Only reason why I even had chance for these accomplishments is quirk I had which none so far dragonbloods have in War Manse 13; absolute perfect memory. In writing exams all scholars, mortals and dragonbloods, had to remember what they studied. I knew from get go the answers in exam and had time even think creatively around puzzle exams which do not allow traditional direct answers studied from books. In final engineer exam the engineers had to type fastest forty thousand numbered code into a magitech. They typed with charms active around four hundred words a second, I did one thousand numbers a second. Even with charm enhanced physical speed, their minds slowed them down as they had to check notes and double check every once while was code typed correctly. I suffered no such delay at all. Of course they suspected I cheated as I used a magitech invention of mine to speed up my typing speed, assuming I had programmed the code into my working gloves than me type it from notes or from memory.<br/><br/>But I proved my perfect memory several times and is that then when I earned respect of dragonbloods as I was born with advantage which none their charms could mimic. So to make exception I was assigned fairly young age as head of the department, as it was known when I was sixteen that I either exalt as terrestrial or do not exalt at all. But perfect memory is double edged blessing; as benefits in scholarly field are undeniable. Socially it creates absolute nightmare as I cannot forget all the insults, glares and expressions all the staff members did to me during studies and during selection exams. People like to forget awful things done to others or to them in past, but I cannot turn this ability off as charm could turned off or effect wear off itself eventually. So I remember always the past events and it influences the present always. Whether I like it or not. I myself dislike it just for the fact because of this abnormality I was chosen to this job, than for my brilliance. So thus I try aim for creative field on invention and inventing. So thus my last name; Tinker comes from. I have made dozens inventions but there already exist superior versions most of them made in traditional magitech, which use essence or little of it. But I have build my inventions in mind that mortals can use them without essence input."<br/><br/>As if prove point he goes inside one library closets, in there he pulls a lever which makes a machine there to hum, gears whirling and rotator spin rapidly. Then outside he flicks a switch and dozens of lights in chandeliers turn on as he says; "This light is superior to midnight oil as it uses electrical power generated from motion from the gears and motion is created by water traveling in the pipes which makes gears and wheels to turn.<br/><br/>Of course these lights burn miniature metal cables and they eventually burn out and if it heats out too much it can pop up and shatter the glass. Which ignites then gas stored inside the glass and it can cause a fire if gas reaches flammable material. But I have adjusted thickness and heat treated the glass along with careful positioning of them so it's minimal risk to library, as I always turn them off and watch couple minutes after turning off none blow up.<br/><br/>Also wiring needs regularly checked as electrical power wears them overtime and if cable gets damaged physically it can cause electric power leap and ignite flammable items. Besides the shock can be lethal mortals and harmful to exalts. I reduced that risk by inventing a new substance based on natural glue and tree sap which creates slowly hardening substance which resists cold and heat and does not let electricity, either natural or magical, travel through it. It does melt in high enough temperature but it's much higher than wood."<br/><br/>Khrui shrugs and replies; "Yet a much more superior and safer method is used old school way bind thunder elemental or god and produce energy through that along with dragonlines and then use minimal amount magical material for wiring to send energy through it onto machine or crystal which releases essence energy as heatless harmless light. Or use much more mobile oil lamps or other light generating artifact which can be recharged. Also to generate greater amount of power you need much bigger machine and greater source of motion to push them, where as essence or magic based can be very small source. Plus it's more cost effective even with rarity of magical materials and magical based methods need bit less maintenance than this invention does."<br/><br/>Khrui looks on the light and adds; "So thus why only my library has this light as I do my own part in saving manse supplies in trying find natural supplements to overcome need to do magical wiring on my library. Only magical are the windows in here and they follow simple enchantment to mimic outdoor light conditions through pair of crystals. Anyways I would welcome bit break as well and visit dinning hall and see what's going on there, if anything is going on."
