The god before her laughed loudly and deeply at the mortal's statements. "Hahaha, you say you have no ability to control artifacts and then ask for something more powerful and complicated than what I was offering." She can actually see little tears of joy forming in the sides of his eyes. "Nothing simply flies, you need to pull on the Essence connection to your weapon in order for something like that to work, but for one who can't even perceive Essence." He pauses then and his eyes briefly light up with a new idea forming.<br/><br/>He starts pulling several more items out of his sleeves and places them on the table.<br/><br/>First is a beautiful leather belt. The leather is unnaturally black, seeming to absorb all light that falls on it. There is also a large recess in the buckle of the belt, as if something is meant to be placed there and is missing. "An Barrier Slipping Sash, this would let you ignore the least of warding spells and have a chance of ignoring the more powerful ones. Someone properly attuned to it could draw out more power."<br/><br/>Next he takes out a very strange contraption. It looks like it's made of steel, a very small bowl, about the right size for a single gem to fit in, that has bright lines of metal etched into the bowl. Coming out of the bottom are more strands of metal. "The Forced Essence Injection System ver 2.45.78. An ancient artifact that allows normal mortals to attune to artifacts temporarily or gives anyone with the ability to utilize their own Essence a brief burst of power."<br/><br/>The next item was a small white pearl that glowed slightly. When looked at more closely she could see something flowing about inside of it or maybe the thing flowing was the pearl, she couldn't really tell. "A Mote of Essence in crystallized form. You could load these into the Injection System to power the sash."<br/><br/>The last object he hesitating before pulling it out. It was a small bottle that had a pinky finger's height of a white powder inside of it. While the power looked very familiar to someone who worked in the shadows, there was something off about it. It seemed to gleam in the light and if her eyes weren't confusing her she could even see an aura surrounding each crystal. "Lastly, Celestial Cocaine. Even this much would be worth a small mansion to a mortal, but it is much easier for someone like myself to procure. If you use this it would temporarily awaken your Essence and allow you to see the way the way it flows. If you possess enough mental discipline you might even be able to permanently awaken your power. However, I'm told the crash is especially bad for mortals."<br/><br/>Pausing briefly to sit back down and smoke from his pipe once more he blew another ring of smoke into the air. "I would offer you the sash along with loaning you the injection system. Or, you could choose the Celestial Cocaine and I would loan you the sash for the duration of this job along with instructing you in the method of attuning to an artifact."
