"That's... weird... are there other things like that? Saws? Drills? Files?"

Permalink

"The majority of them enhance either movement or combat there's a few that either grant information or improve the ability to build things but those mostly don't count towards the limit."

Permalink

"The limit?"

Permalink

"The limit on how many magic items you can use at a time. If you go over it some of your magic items won't work."

Permalink

"Oh, weird. I think we'd want them for their... tool purposes."

Permalink

"I'm not sure if any of these work for the purposes implied by their names but I also have things called brick layer, extendo grip, paint sprayer, portable cement mixer, stepstool, toolbelt, and toolbox. Oh and I do have paint rollers, paintbrushes and paint scrapers. I'm pretty sure those will work as you'd expect."

Permalink

"How could a stepstool possibly not work for its implied name?"

Permalink

"I think the actual thing I make is too small. I might leave the magic on it. What that one does is summon a temporary step stool under your feet when you want it."

Permalink

"I guess that's... useful... wouldn't work to have in, say, a library, though."

Permalink

"I feel like mundane step stools should be easy to make... at least relative to a lot of other things."

Permalink

"Oh, absolutely, given wood and stuff."

Permalink

"It sounds like there's places my things would help and places they wouldn't."

Permalink

"Yeah. But if the train can be totally filled with things you can't help with, next time, that'll be amazing."

Permalink

"Yep, it sounds like it would open up a lot of space."

Permalink

"You could post a list of things you can make, in the library, and people could make marks next to things they want, and you could drop by occasionally to fill orders?"

Permalink

"I could, I think I'd mostly rather giving other people the ability to make things though."

Permalink

"- oh, that does sound better. All the things you can make?"

Permalink

"Yep, I would prefer to be a little choosy since some of the things I can make are really destructive but everything I expect people to really want."

Permalink

"Oh, yeah, we don't want anything destructive here, we're safe but our stuff is valuable."

Permalink

"Yeah, I figured. I'll leave out the explosives and such."

Permalink

"Good plan. Though probably some folks would really love to be able to put on fireworks shows."

Permalink

"I don't actually know if my fireworks mess with things that don't have my brand of indestructibility. It might be worth testing when I'm further away from things people care about."

Permalink

"Sure. This here is things people care about central but you can just go fifty miles any which way except along the tracks and you'll be somewhere pretty empty."

Permalink

"Alright, here's what I'm thinking. You can pick let's say 20 people to start and I'll give them access to everything I'm sure is safe. That's going to be a pretty huge catalog so I figure it will take you some time to think things through. In the meantime, I'm going to setup a teleporter line out to somewhere fifty miles away and start building a base over there and try some experiments and mostly kill time until the next concordance. If you want to come ask me questions you're certainly welcome. Do you think I could get a train car to experiment with?"

Permalink

"I think they're all in use but somebody might give theirs up for goodies. It'll take me a while to round up twenty people, what with most of us not having phones."
