Once the shipment was finished, and Rue had upgraded the trade ship, Karl returned with her to the Tiny World to start on a new project. But Cara was already way ahead of him, and she was organizing the pears by size and colour, so that they had the perfect layout for a necklace.
"I vote that we use a wire wrap cage, so we don’t have to drill the pearls, and we can layer magic all the way through them.
But what kind of water magic do we even give to a Dana Mage?
Like, we can give her Tsunami, and Water Apocalypse, and Thousand Year Flood, if it will fit on that centre pearl. But what do we do with the rest?" The badger pondered.
"Why don’t we give them all spell power and mana regeneration runes?" Skadi suggested.
That sounded like fun. If they just stacked the two bonuses over and over, along with runes that would let them combine with the neighbouring pearls, it would make for a hilariously overpowered necklace.
Or, they could stuff them full of mana storage runes.
Now that was a funny thought. Just an ocean of mana.
[Ooh, we could make the big centre one a Pet Space pocket dimension, and then just stuff it full of mana crystals.] Opal suggested.
That would be way more entertaining than giving her one more spell she would rarely use.
Karl sighed as the thought of the raw mana that it would take to fill a Pet Space full of mana crystals. Tens of millions at the very least. What exactly were they trying to prepare Dana for?
The Pearls were Immortal items, but they were also rather fragile, so they couldn’t be upgraded to a Supreme Grade item without shattering, much like Mana Jade. But they were also excellent at storing bulk mana.
The problem was that if you stored mana in them, everyone around the item would be able to sense it.
That was not a problem if you stored the mana in a separate space.
The other beasts all laughed as the girls schemed ways to make Dana’s new necklace even more ridiculous than the idea before it.
Even Rae had joined in, with a suggestion that made Skadi shiver in terror.
[What if we had Karl modify the [Blood Destruction] spell to the water element, and instead of boiling their blood, it was replaced with ice, or acid?
Oooh, or we could use the spell to stop blood clotting, so that every cut bleeds forever.]
Remi paused her alchemy work to add her opinions. [If we mixed a bit of nature magic into the water magic, we could make all the cuts sprout blood vines that dug into the body.]
Thor was right, Skadi decided. Her sisters were definitely more scary than her brothers.
[Why not Tribulation Chains? Lightning goes well with water.] Karl offered.
