Draiss nodded, and stood up. "I understand. I am just eager to test myself yet again, since combat is the best way to inspire new ways of trying things. And combat that feels real but doesn't carry the threat of death is a good way to cause it."<br/><br/>He offered the mages the scroll and he held onto the flask, even though he knew immediately that they wouldn't be able to break through the protective enchantments on it. He followed them to the lab, taking in the layout with a glance, idly wondering why they had things set up as they were, before shrugging and putting the flask down in the spot the two examiners indicated. He pulled down some of the redundant protections on it to allow them to examine the flask without being overwhelmed by the number of protections, though they would note that the spells were still on it, just temporarily suspended.<br/><br/>An hour later, he called a halt to the examinations, as the two wizards were now trying to study him, and while he didn't normally mind helping magic users move further up the ladder of power, one of them had a leaning toward fire spells. The other had an interesting variation on the identify spell, which allowed a slightly higher chance to tell whether an item was cursed or not. He suggested a different set of words for one part of the identify spell, which further improved the chance, but was somewhat impressed at how well the wizard had managed to improve it already. The other wizard got a suggestion to branch out into different elements, as a simple fire shield or energy resist would render him use impaired.
