"Feel free, I'll study a while here, I can lead you along if I go elsewhere in the tower later." The elf smirked and got to work, setting a lense of some kind over an eye, then studying the small stone carefully, pressing on it with a long needle and a small pair of tongs, lifting it up and turning it around appraisingly. The elf seemed to pay all focus to it, and moving about, the robe brushed the elf's form very closely. There was a brief but noticeable strain on the fabric on the elf's chest now and then, something pressing it beneath. Perhaps a woman's bosom, modest and small as it would be, or perhaps something else or nothing. It was still hard to say.<br/><br/>Lifting a tome off a nearby shelf and opening it, the elf seemed to go through some spellwords, gesturing at the jewel, studying it intently. An hour passed, with little experiments, then two. it didn't seem any more clearer what the elf was getting out of the gem, or what gneder the elf might be, up until the elf paused  before a shelf and kneeled down, leaning ahead. The cloth lining up with the elf's bottom, the robe followed the body's form a bit more tensely, tightened between the pants waistband and her legs, tugging out the shape of a bottom out clearly, as well as the smooth surface following.<br/><br/>It seemed a bit more likely the elf was a woman than a man, but saying for sure still seemed hard, though the elf hummed and cast a small cantrip at the jewel. A minor jolt hitting it, the reaction an immediate shine, as the jewel began to shine. "Interesting. It seems if used right, it could certainly draw in spell energy. Perhaps it could even be used to stop harmful spells, absorbing them instead. Though I had to target it directly to try, so its hard to say." The elf muttered. "It would explain why the fight with magical powers rumoredly shattered it at the middle of all that tension. It might have been already full to the brim with power to make someone a god and then battling mortals surge all their massive power into it, feeble as it might be compared to a god, to an artefact that is full and not expecting such a surge of magical power it might have been the final straw. Maybe." The elf didn't sound too convinced.<br/><br/>"Either way, its a fascinating little stone."
