Page 9 - The ball that defies all logic. [VIDEO]

[Patchy's got her guide set up on her desk. There's an open book in front of her with a pen resting in it, suggesting she had been writing something. Scattered elsewhere across the desk were a pile of books, a small container of other writing utensils, a soccer ball, a stray spell card, some loose paper... one of these things does not belong here

...Wow!

[weekwizard]

I'm afraid I can't share your enthusiasm. This ball has caused more trouble than its worth...

[whoisthatchild]

Really? [And now he likes it more.]

But it sounds like it's got some really powerful magic in it...

[weekwizard]

It might be, but I can't detect any. It's inert to anything and everything, save for just hitting it.

[whoisthatchild]

Hm.

Maybe it's like my Mystical Absorbtion? It just sucks up everything, except touching it.

[weekwizard]

No, it's more like a reflection, or warding. There's no diminishing of any spell that hits it; it just doesn't get hurt.

[whoisthatchild]

Hmmm...Sounds interesting. Having armour that did that would be really useful.

[weekwizard]

Perhaps it would, but it would be impossible to make, even if you had the raw materials. There would be no way you could work with it.

[whoisthatchild]

Not necessarily. What I would do, is, if you got in shapes or something, I'd make a cloak that wrapped around edges of the parts, and have all the parts overlap too, so that attacks wouldn't get to the actual cloak.

[This is.

Exactly what he does when he grows up.]

[weekwizard]

... That could work, but I doubt much could be done with just this single ball.

...Still, if you wanted to have a look at it, I won't stop you.
