Arms, mostly. But I could start doing legs too, if there was a need for it.

Unfortunately, yes. It's not something I worked on in Piltover, but... I could have been. It would have been a more productive use of my time.

No time like the present to continue turning what skills you can toward something helpful to those around you. I'm sorry to hear your world has such a need; it does sound like a good calling you've turned your attention to.

Live and learn. Thanks, though. I don't know what projects I'll work on after these prosthetics- I was thinking about some trolley improvements? Still feels a little small scale compared to what I used to do, but it seems like it'd help people, and that's really what my work is all about.

What did you used to do in your Piltover?

Is there anything like it you could be doing here, or while on any of the missions?

I helped develop a revolutionary new type of technology called Hextech.

I could, but I've got this nanotech project taking up my time first. Once I'm sure it's working and successful, I'll be getting back to my magic research.

Magic and science together?

[ The name is kind of a dead give away. At least for someone who deals with people like Zantanna and John Constantine often enough. But, you know, it does make her think of that quote, too. Even though her world very much so has both. ]

Exactly that. You know, when I named it that, I thought the name would be pretty self-explanatory, but some people still ask...

How does your world differeniate the two?
Or more, how are you combining them, and what does it do?

Technology is technology. Metal, electrical power, steam. Magic is esoteric knowledge practiced and utilized only by mages, they keep tight control over who's allowed to learn and use it. It can be as useful as it is dangerous- like any other technology really- but it's because it's kept a secret, that means more people fear it. It's outright illegal to even study magic in Piltover, let alone use it. But in the right hands, it can do wonderful things. It saved my life.

It can do anything, with the right formula and language use. Teleportation, graviturgy, and forcefields are what I've been more recently focused on, but really the sky's the limit on what it's capable of once you understand it.

[ ... that's a lot.

Also. Dicey. By his own setup.
Illegal. Yet it had saved him.
And the applications ...

Barbara stares for a long moment.
Fingertips pressing. Thread lost. ]

Was it hard to move from something so widely open-ended back home to here?

No, actually, I like being here. There's still magic to study, and I'm learning new types of developments I wouldn't in Piltover.

[He's not so honest he'll just casually mention all the stresses he's avoiding dealing with at home by being here.]

The same magic or different magic?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. So far I haven't found any remnants of physical magic, like there is on Runeterra. It might be solely in the leylines, which would be harder to use, but not impossible.

How would you use them, if you can?

Depends on their capabilities, really. You need to know what tools you're working with before you can decide what you want to make, you know? If the magic here is only capable of say, elemental magic, that means I could do some things with fire, but not with teleportation.

Have you met any people using magic from Etraya?

I've seen mages here yes. I don't know how they source their magic, though. It might be something natural, from within them? Or maybe they're drawing on the power from Etraya, and don't know it?
