IC: When James woke up, he was sure he was in Eberron.
OOC: Just to give you guys an overview, it looked like the classic steampunk setting mixed with the classic high medieval fantasy setting, and there are no steam engines since basically everything runs on magic.
IC: "Eh, fuck."
"C'mon James, don't look so pissed."
"Erathis?"
It was a bit surprising and at the same time, a bit obvious that the arcanist would be Erathis, the goddess of inventions on D&D. Still, that caught him off guard.
"Yeah."
Why did she sound exactly like Sally?
That was, if anything, a bit disturbing. Especially to him.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?"
"This."
A giant screen showed up in his front.
"You want me to make a computer using only gears and magic?
"Yes."
"How-"
The voice had disappeared.
"Great, I've got stuff that isn't useful right now."
"James?"
"Oh, Grey. Didn't see you there."
James stopped and tought about how he could make the computer work.
He couldn't find a solution.
He was pissed off. Taunted, away from all of them, left alone in the dark,with nothing but Grey.
He let a battle cry out, out of pure rage. And then, he hit the computer with his right hand.
The lightning bolt hand.
Kord, realizing the bravery of James, increased the power of his hand. It was just a ball of shining lightning made of demigod-like powers.
It exploded and made a thunder-like sound.
The computer started working.
"HOLY SHIT, HOW DID I DO THAT?!"
"James, well done. You've completed your training as an arcanist."
"But I did nothing!"
"You found a way to make something work with next to no materials, and in a curious way, even."
"That's weird."
"Ok, now it's my turn."
"Edward Elric?"
"What, were you expecting something different?"
