He went pale and Jack leaned on his hand thoughtfully, looking up at Avice wth adoring eyes. “She will. I’ve seen her do it.” The man swallowed and began to speak in a rushed voice. “I really don’t know much, okay? I just... they’re working in something really big. Some weapon of mass destruction. Do you know the fields of Edolier magic?”

“Well,” he said hesitantly, “when I left, they were trying to find a way to infuse one object with... all of them.”
He shook his head slowly. “Whoever they put in charge of operating that thing will have to be very powerful; that kind of weapon.... it would have a mind of its own.”
He laughed slightly. “Almost. That much power couldn’t be easily conducted by just any machine. It’d have to be almost as complex as a living organism.”
