So someone if Soul Splitter would be used.... · 9:01am Jun 2nd, 2017
I needed a puzzle for the entrance to the first dungeon so..Here have a speak peek on some character interaction while I take break from writing the next chapter. (I think I'm about 1/3rd done, gonna work on it bit by bit until it's done.)
At the end of the maze was a large metal door locked by a series of six pressure plates at the end of a tunnel. The plates themselves each had an indentation to fit something in them.
"We might need to go back and find the keys, unless you have another idea?" Silvia asked.
Death hummed in confirmation as he looked over the plates and stepped on one, it went down and a satisfying click was heard and rune lit up on the door. Much to Silvia's surprise, he suddenly turned into a stone statue of a large figure obscured by a hooded robe with skeletal arms, wings and wielding scythe as large as it was and two clones of Death, one green and one purple, appeared beside his petrified form.
"This technique doesn't use magic," The purple death clone explained. "Is it possible for you to try and copy it?"
"...I'll have to use my magic sight to do so..."Silvia replied once she found her voice and cleared her throat. "My magic sight allows me to see how magic flows in a world as well as view a person's soul, my eyes will glow blue to signify it's use and yo will feel slightly uncomfortable but it is completely harmless."
"Do what you must, if you can use Soul Splitter then we have a way to progress without finding those keys." Death replied.
Silvia activated her magic and looked on in fascination as a complicated stream of Soul energy linked the clones back to Death's stone form. She could instantly see how the technique worked and began to vocalize her findings.
"This is incredible, by petrifying your physical form the energy you would naturally generate to simply exist is instead directed at your soul to form to fully functioning copies of you and everything you perceive as being needed on your person at any given time. Furthermore these copies have the strength to exist on the physical or 'living' plane instead of appearing in a spiritual plane that overlaps with this one. Finally you can send your consciousness between the two clones due to your physical form acting as the anchor for the technique, however that does give you limited range." She explained brightly.
"Are you done?" Death asked flatly. "It feels as if someone is walking on my grave."
"In a minute, I need to be sure I don't end up damaging anything when I perform the split." Silvia replied
"Fine, then look at the clone I'm not using!" he insisted.
