Temperance composes a letter to send home explaining the concept of a printing press and then goes to sleep. She wakes up early and starts doing magic research on her own. Comparing what she knows and what the book tells her. She has a late lunch and then remembers to actually send her letter.
That done she sits in the library and proceeds with her research. She ate enough at lunch that she decides to skip dinner and wait for Kaede while reading.
"Not necessarily a puzzle, just something that requires cooperation. ...and if that's the case it'd be because either it's too complex for a single metamancer to do whatever-it-is by themself, or a single metamancer couldn't be in all places they'd need to be at the same time. Also they seemed to think this effect would outlast the storm."
"Or something that could be cheated at with two metamancers and a huge amount of mana."
"Yeah, like I said, it's probably either something that requires a lot of attention or more than one thing."
"Maybe one of you should take a look at it while the other pokes around the rest of the tower in case there is something useful around?"
"Yeah—I guess we could explore the contents of this cube after we've figured out what we have to do."
Felix guides them around the areas and the objects he guessed are old artifacts.
Temperance pokes at the communication device for fun. And she activates one of the more portable light sources just for the hell of it.
Communication device: not super responsive without its active network! Light source totally works though.
It's a freaking super ancient artifact from a lost civilization, even non-responsiveness is good.
That one's actually not too dissimilar from the ones she's used to.
Several more where that one came from!
Well, they have reached the point where Temperance is patting inanimate objects. Maybe they should go back to the cube?
It is warm.
