"...okay, so how did they charge them in the first place? Did they just take a few years each?"

"I have no idea!"

"It would have been hundreds of years, if they were using methods known to us now. They didn't tile the earth and skies with ancient furnaces, that we know. Many of the mysteries of our ancestors are lost to time."

...okay. Forensic conjuration time. Surroundings of Vah Medoh when it first, let's say flew.

It's in a big Sheikah tech scaffolding, sort of like a rocket launch pad, and at the time of capture is exiting nose pointed straight up not at all like a bird. The broader environment is somewhere snowy and rocky, if his substitution or lack thereof allows him to determine those properties. There's a large irregularly-shaped building next to the scaffold done up in the same aesthetic, not large enough to contain Vah Medoh as a whole, but maybe enough to contain a wing.

The scaffolding is hooked up with thick, bundled cables to five identical towers. They're a dozen storeys high, engraved in complicated sigils, and crowned with clear orbs. The structures seem to extend belowground if Cam squints at the base of one and notices the spiral stairs down.

"What's that—where did you—when?"

"- I don't know, is the date important? I could figure it out if it matters." Can he get a complete model of one of the tower silo looking thingies.

"You can conjure arbitrary things from history?"

Yep! How big does he want it.

Oh, how about a foot high. "Sure can!"

He can now see more details, like even smaller etchings on the glass orb. There's a sort of setting inside the orb—it's hollow—but the setting is empty. There are smaller cables running up the sides of the tower, openings, a door at the base. What exactly is he looking for here?

"You could get us the lost ancient archives! All the incredible knowledge we left behind in our exodus!"

"Unless it was magic, sure! Does this doodad look like it'd be like a furnace only better or something?"

"Maybe! Maybe not! I can't tell without a full scale model... we need Purah and Symin in on this. Symin knows ancient Hylian the best out of all us, and Purah's more specialized in the fiddly stuff. I do physics! Materials! Weapons! This could change everything!"

"Okay, where do I find Purah and Symin?"

"Hateno Ancient Tech Lab! It's over by Hateno Village, do you know where that is? Leave a copy of the tower with me! Even if it's not an ancient energy condenser, the things I'll learn from it!"

He barges out the doorway and scans around for a location.

"A whole one? At full size? I'm not positive it wouldn't collapse the cliff."

He leans over the cliff edge and points down at the bank.

"Drop it down there, on that bit of dirt. Can you do the underground parts as well?"

It's not a terribly tall cliff. The top of the tower will probably come up a bit short of the altitude they're at.

"I'm not positive it won't fall over like that, do you want it on its side to begin with maybe?"

"Inconvenient to explore! Can you do one on its side, and one vertical, but leaving out all the underground parts? We can strip it down for parts... but that's not a concern anymore!" He guffaws.

"I'm also not sure it won't fall over without its underground parts!"

"Create it with the underground parts upright, then create a big mound of dirt burying everything below the original ground level?"

"If you would like me to just extend the cliff in that direction I can make you one embedded in the New Cliff?"

"That certainly works! Don't extend it too much, though, in case we want to import more buildings."

Cam goes out and surveys the existing cliff a bit and then zhoops it out with a tower in it.
